Ok here it is...

I was at the post office sending my friend in VA some prelude parts and as i was walking to my car. This cool older black man came up to me and said "you want another one of them?!" and it kinda startled me. lol... but he told me it was a 92 5spd in suburu blue, HA...i knew he was talking about that weird purplish blue the 92-93's sometimes came in. Well he gave me his business card, And i thought about it and i was kinda thinkin I should go look at it and maybe buy it. It kinda hit me hard on the way home because i have had like 6 preludes and my neighbor has really wanted one for a long time and i just figured i would let him get this one. I got home from usps and BK with my burgers and i went and told him about it so we went and looked at it. It is a 92 S 5spd 205k miles. clean int and clean ext. he wanted 600 for it but we offered 400 for it and he said yes. So what i am wondering is...Does this sound like a deal or should we talk him down some?? BTW, he says it doesnt run but thinks it may need a engine (F22A1) is what is in it now. My neighbor is gettin paid wednesday so we will go get it wednesday afternoon or thursday..

Should we get it???!!!!!!

Dont flame me for a crazy story but this is exactly what happened!!

 

I would like to think a decent Prelude shell is worth AT LEAST 600.

 

i would jump on that right away, sounds like a good deal to me

 

ok, thats what i thought.

I got my Perfect 94 si w/ blown h23 for 550... stuck my h22 in it and life is good!
My 94 si is the one he tried to buy for 800 but i knew the guy and got her for 550!

We are going to get it wednesday at noon!!!!!

 

great deal.

 

Wish I could find one that cheap

Me too!!! I wish someone would come up to me and say "Hey, Want another one?!" I'd be like yep...Show me the direction!!!

 

good deal

 

honestly i thought the guy was going to ask me for money!!!LOL!!!

but yeah he was like "imma show u a nice un" so i was like "ok"....so i got my neighbor and we liked and i said 400 and he said he bought it for 600 a yr ago and never fixed it so he just wants it gone even if he had to loose some. lol....

I feel good for my neighbor for finally being able to join the prelude community. he had a 97 ex civic ROFL.... but its gone and this will be a good project for him. He wants a H22 for it but i know the f22 trans sucks so he really needs the whole swap imho.

 

the h23 trans i hooked up to my JDM h22 has worked just fine. and much cheaper

 

good deal


i got my 96 si blown motor with some body damage for 650$

mine drops outta vtec from 1st to 2nd...even going all the way to 7800 (fuel cut)....its like...if i slip the clutch from 1st-2nd it will stay right at 5300 and Stay in vtec....but if i shift normal it goes to 5k and drops out....wtf

 

also i just wanted to add this...

I do not shift slow and i am a Great driver....so its not me..lol

 

Don't talk him down below $400. I'd smack the **** out of you for offering me that little amount of money. If he agreed to 400, go with that.
