This blog is to capture my journey in owning one of the rarest cars in Singapore - Honda Del Sol.

Close of Project Del Sol

I am very sad that my 15-month love affair with this beautiful delsol is officially over. This ride has been sold to another delsol lover and I hope this bro will continue to take good care of her. It has been an amazing ride and I hope one day, you out there will have a chance to own one of this incredible creation by Honda! Ciao!

3rd and hopefully final update

It has been 6 weeks since I posted my ride for sale. I did a stock take of number of bros who contacted me. A total of 63 bros sms-ed me. I have arranged viewing for 37 bros. Many bros expressed interest but needed loan (which all have difficulties in getting loan or high insurance). 6 bros were williing to pay cash but wanted price to be lower, which I politely declined. I believe the price is the best asking price in the market today, when comparing to similar sport rides. Still waiting for the $35k offer. Hopefully, one of the 6 bros will come back with the firm offer soon. Will be updating sgcarmart to reflect price is firmed.

Just some personal comments. A few bros asked me about the paper value (i.e. COE-$3840) and gave me bids based on that. Not that I am rude but please note that you are buying a sports collectible, which the value will appreciate over time. If you are looking at paper value, please look for an 8/2011 esi instead - maybe only need to pay $3-5k more for body. I don't understand when looking for rarity, why should people think about total loss first? Shouldn't they be thinking how to preserve the beauty (and value) for this ride in many years to come?
