I'm considering this 4th Gen Prelude:

It looks pretty good from the outside, IMO. Dunno about everything else, however. Planning to service it right after buying it.

 

Sorry about the thread title thing . . . my mind was on somewhere else. It's a 4TH GEN I'm considering.

 

Nice..looks totally stock which is a good sign. In other words...not owned by some punk-*** "tuner".

Hi-Milage so that should bring the price way down.

 

rust is my number one thing to tell people. look around the rear wheels especially

 

I see . . . so is $3500 for that a good deal or should I try and negotiate for a better price?

 

It looks good to me, at 187k, it should be just past the 180k service, so make sure the timing belt h2o pump etc were just done, and valves adjusted etc. For the price I'd say its great, and if that stuff isn't done, try to bargain it down about 4-500 for that work, and/or expect to do it as soon as you buy it. Fyi I paid 4500 to a dealer for my 93 non-vtec with 142k 1.5 years ago.

 

Just ask why it has Si H23 rims and not the H22 blades. Prolly got stolen or something but if it started as an Si take a look at how well he did the swap, make sure there is no bouncing idle, vtec engages, etc. Otherwise if it runs well it looks good from what i can see go for it.
