Hi guys, just looking to buy a lude
found two ads
96 SRV blue/green ext. 72000kms, no accidents for US $12,500
and
97 GSR silver ext. 34000kms, no accidents for US $12,500

just wanna know your opinions on these, which one's more worth it
im not planning to do any forced induction on either cars, and no engine swaps either, just daily driving

i know this is the prelude board, and u guys will have a normal bias towards ludes, but that's ok, just wanna know ur opinions, i personally like srv more
cuz gsr more in demand here, easily stolen, and insurance here is more expensive than srv

thx in advance

 

talk the guy with the lude down a little. i dont know the KM -> MILE conversion.. but they look like decent deals.

 

the mileage conversion is 1.67
10000 miles = 16700 kms

 

SR-V is the Canadian designation, are you buying it from Canada?
My brother owns an Integra and I own a 96 SR-V and I can tell you for daily city
driving Prelude is better because it has much more low end torque. The GS-R is good on long stretches of road, but in the city its hard to keep it in the power band. Either car is nice. The SR-Vs are stolen but I'm not sure how popular they are for theifs, just get a good alarm.

 

yah im buying it in canada,
srv is the vtec 4th gen lude

but do you guys think it's a good deal or not?

thx

 

not a bad deal... good mileage. although i've seen them go for less. try to lower the price a little if you can.
prelude vs. integra? prelude all the way. i like both cars, but prelude has a much nicer interior, more low end torque, more hp, and looks better IMO.

 

yah i think i'll go for the vtec lude, are the 4th gen ludes hard to modify, by modify i mean performance wise, by performance i mean, forced induction, by forced induction i mean anything except for nitrous?
will adding forced induction mods significantly affect the lude's reliability/maintenance costs?

thx

 

As long as you tune the overlap out of your cams you'll make good hp with an FI prelude.
