I'm going to go take a look at an 01 prelude within the next few days and I was wondering what are some things I should look at when I'm there. I'm talking about prelude specific things, not if the oil has been changed, etc.

 

be sure it's not an Automatic, cause those trannies suck and it'll probably go out on you. Other than that, look for the basic stuff such as if it's been kept up with matience. Anything that looks out of place to you, ask questions about it.

 

Ask if the timing belt's been done. Take it up to 7500 RPM and see if it burns a lot of oil in VTEC

 

The car's a 5 speed, my friend had an auto and I wouldn't want anything to do with it. It's got about 75k on it. New clutch and that's all I can think of right now.

 

make sure the timing belt has been done.
