Default Really Quick Question - 120K alot?

Hey guys,

I have never thought about getting a Prelude, but I am thinking about selling my Integra and going for an Auto Lude. The model that I am looking at is the 1998 Auto Lude.

My concern is, is 120K a lot? The price for it is about $6500. He said he was pretty firm with the price, but before I start bargaining, I just wanted to know what Prelude owners think about the price given that everything is in Good condition.

Thank you,
Alex

120 on a auto tranny, means your gonna have to pay 2500$ + labor to fix it soon. From the sound of your post you cant install a tranny, and labor for that is nothing cheap. all said and done your gonna be looking @ around 9.5-10k on that auto lude, just get a manual and do it the right way
