asking price is totally different from what that guy got in the link. he would be lucky to be offered 7k-8k and id take that and run with it. not trying to be a downer just being realistic.

 

This guys asking price is absolutely ridiculous!!!!!

 

That linked rhd white 5th gen... he's here on HT. Pretty sweet rhd 4th gen build he has going - dude is legit.

 

I would offer maybe 10k no way in the world would I buy that... Does look really nice tho

For a converted to RHD, I wouldnt pay may then 5ish

 

Heres the real question, how much would you yourself as the "customer" would buy the car for?

 

thanks for linking my for sale thread in here btw. my asking price is within the realm of possibilities. i have received 3 $16k offers already but wont go down that much. the usdm counterpart with the same milage, options, and condition kbb's at $10-12k except that is barely comparable considering the type-s prelude was never released in the states. the car is in near show room condition, only has 6x,xxx miles, and comes titled. when compared to similar spec jdm itr's my price is extremely reasonable and the prelude type-s is, i believe, the only legitimate one currently in the states. either way, many people can argue or disagree with the price. something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. so as of right now the car seems to only be worth 16k in which case i will not sell it and i will keep it as my daily while my 4th gen is under way

wing8806- thank you very much for the kind words.

Man, next time I'm on the gulf coast of FL I'd feel obligated as a Prelude owner to come check out your cars, you're probably the only person in the US to ever own a true JDM 4g and 5g let alone a Type S. I feel for what it is your asking price is very reasonable to own what in the US would be a truly one of a kind, a converted USDM car is not the same as the real deal.

I'd keep the Type S if I were you Zac, who else can say they've seen one let alone own one and that's from someone who isn't really even a fan of the 5g.

I'd say the OP's car on the other hand is really only worth a small amount more than a mint condition 5g since only those who really want to own a RHD car would be interested.

 

Except that you can barely get a stock one for 5K. Maybe an EG for 5K.

Anything RHD even converted goes for a bit over the LHD counterpart in the US. People have offered me cars for trade that no LHD Prelude would even think about getting, just because its RHD.

Anyway ready to get rid of my RHD BB6 because too many are popping up.

 

Makes me curious as to how many RHD bb6's there are here in the states (converted or not)

Off the top of my head, I know of 6 converted and 1 legit. As of today - unfortunately now only 3/6 converted are on the road

 

there was a guy in california that sold a 96 RHD bb6 for 11k

 

Whats your count?

 

the only people that will pay high asking prices are ones who specifically want the RHD...as much as i love my hondas i would not pay a premium for rhd on ANY honda. the best thing to do is keep it for sale and set a price that you want for it and wait and advertise online and be patient for a LOOOOONG time...

 

Not sure if that's what you meant or if you wanted more information lol - no sarcasm intended.

 

Who...where?

 

Put me in on the count.lol
I currently own an original RHD 4th gen from Japan with
legit paperwork.

 

Gotta be expensive to import

 

Damn, you already did a rhd conversion to a prelude now? I saw the s2k thread which was sick, so now a prelude. What's next?

 

Thanks for the kind words.

To the OP. I would suggest a 8-10k list price.
