I am sadly thinking of selling my 1999 Prelude just because I feel the time is right. I work at a Mazda dealership and can pick up a brand new Speed6 for about $7500 off.

The stats on my Lude:

1999 Prelude SH
Pearl White
189,000 miles
Air Intake
*NEAR SHOWROOM CONDITION*

When I say near showroom I am not kidding. It could almost pass for brand new, inside and out despite the mileage.

I live in Minneapolis and since Spring is just around the corner I feel it could be a good time to sell. My question is this (2 parts):

1) This vehicle obviously has a following so despite the mileage is $5000 to $6000 unrealistic considering the quality I've kept it in?

2) I have an unbelievably high quality aftermarket sound system totaling $5000 including DVD Audio 5.1, DVD Video 5.1 (with in-dash screen of course), 1 12" Rockford sub, the best 6½ component and 6x9 speakers Boston Accoustics make, and top of the line amps controling everything. Will I scare possible buyers away by advertising this and more importantly can I ask for more because it's in there? Ultimately if I keep it in there I would ask $8000.

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Is your car paid for already? IMO I'd rather not start a new car payment, and put myself in a lil debt. But that's just me.

I highly doubt that you can score $8,000 with that kind of mileage, no matter the system that is in it. You should pull the system and try and get $5 or 6K out of the car and then keep the system or sell it seperately. Obviously I can't speak for everyone else but I really don't care what kind of system is in a used car when I am looking to purchase.
