Go drive it and if it's good then try to talk him down to at or below $2000.

all non gsr's have the same motor, they're just commonly called ls's. only difference would be in options for the car, ie: moonroof, power features etc..

same exact motors, the rs is just pretty much the base model(no sunroof+ other goodies not exactly sure but it's the lightest if that matters to you). The gs is the "fanciest" of those three, then the gsr has the gsr motor... I think that's a pretty good price assuming the body is in decent condition and it runs smooth. If you take care of a Honda it will last a long time.

oh ok. and the gsr's have the vtech,right? but are the gsr's heavier? should i try and find a gsr? or go with the lower trim.

It's pretty much personal preference, gsr's will have more hp and be a little faster which would be nice but I don't think it makes that much of a difference to pass up a good opportunity, some people would rather not spend the money unless they could get a hold of one... I guess it also depends on what you plan on doing with the car in the future too(build it, keep it stock and daily drive it, turbo, NA, etc.)

i want it to be a daily driver but i would also like it to be quick, i had a stock 2001 honda prelude for about a year and it was very quick so i would want something like the prelude and i dont mind putting some extra money to make the stock engine run faster. can a rs or ls be comparable to the prelude with not much extra money?

Yes, it can by slapping on a cheap and reliable turbo kit. You can also take another route and go all-motor, but then you would have to do a lot more just to obtain the numbers that an h22 (Prelude motor) is putting down.

If you have any questions or want to learn more about it specifically, visit the Forced Induction forum.
