$9500 is a pretty big price tag for a 92, but I don't really know the going prices for imported preludes. Aesthetically it's not bad if you lose the wing and tail lights, new floor mats would be a good idea too.

Definitely check it out in person though, you can't judge a car from a few pictures.

Price looks high. I would take the tails and spoiler off. Go back to stock. I like the Kaminari kit.

looks really mint and its low milage but rhd is absurd. try driving it first, see if you like that. on another note, thats a weird back seat setup, separate bucket seats

Thats shitz is dope boy frezh.


But for real, I would rather spend 2000 on a crapy looking prelude and 7500 on my own personalizations.

That car has already be customed for the owner.

I was going to put a deposit on that exact car. Honestly i think its a pretty fair deal. To allt he people in the US this is extremely cheap compared to the rest of the canadian car market. Preludes like this in canada go for over 10k and our dollar is higher than the US now which means it would probably be almost 11k US. You could do what everyone is doing now and fly down to the states, buy a 4th gen for 2k drive it up and mod it to death with the other 8k you saved.

Lose the wing, do some custom tails on that, new exhaust and your good to go. RHD is not weird, the rest of the world drives that way. I have driven many and its really the same. You get used to it in about 2 minutes.

scripture has spoken......Thats what I did for my DD Prelude. Spent $2k on the car and another $6k on mods and maintenance. RHD=Overrated! The only JDM stuff I spend my money on is engines!

Looks way to ricey to me. I would just go get one that is mostly stock and build my own car. Plus 9500 is way to high for a 92 you could get a used Sh lude or a type R integra for that.

To put my 2 cents in... it looks to be in very good condition as far as paint and body. I would love to have a RHD lude

a little expensive for my taste, but i'd love to get a rhd lude! i would lose the wing, lose the tails, throw some 16 or 17 in wheels up there. replace all the clear lights with amber and it'd be the jdmshit.

It looks like its in good shape.

It is a little pricey, i got my 92 for $4k.

9,500 doesn't seem too bad for a RHD 92 actually.

I don't agree with it being Riced out like some said.

The wing is a little big, wings are not rice, big wings are, so get something smaller? and tail lights are fine.

too many people are getting caught up into thinkin you can't make your car look nice AND be fast.
