its got cloth interior which isnt my preference. but it white and its a 5-speed which is. they want $15,988. good deal?

 

I don't think the price for it is that bad. I just bought a 99 Lude w/ 39,000 miles and it was priced at 15,9?? as well. I would probably try to get them to go a little lower though, due to the mileage, but that is just my personal opinion.

 

Get a GSR

 

ive already had a GS-R and now im wanting something a lil bigger and just something different. plus insurance on a GS-R is crazy.. its an extra $300 every 6-months while the prelude is the same as im paying now. right now im just waiting for Nissan to transfer the title over to me so i can trade in this POS truck!

right now its between this used prelude or a new Civic Si. so im debating... new or used.

 

I paid 15,400 for my lude with almost those exact same specs from a dealer. You're at a good starting price, you can get a good deal off of that.

 

I bought my 97 Prelude when it was three years old in 00 (same age as the one you're looking at) and I paid $14k even for it, I talked them down from $17k. The car only had 47k miles on it too. I'm sure you can talk them down. If not, just buy mine, it's for sale (check sig) Good luck with it!

 

im looking for something unmodified, but thanks. and thanks for the input.. always nice to know what i should be paying for it. i'll just go there when i get everything with my current car fixed and say $14.3 take it or leave it!

 

I got my 2001 type SH for 16,000 w only 25,000

 

well DAMMIT how'd you get so damn lucky!??!?!

 

I got my girlfriend to sleep with the dealer Works every time

 

I got my 99 Pearl white Prelude Base 5spd for 13,300 with 60K on the Odo.

so your deal isnt too bad.. its got about 15k less miles.. i`d try to talk them down to 14's

Thougth I noticed that that lude doenst have a spoiler tho, and i dunno mine was pretty much basic spoiler floor mat, mud guards (took them off), and new kumho tires

 

thanks for all the replies, im still holding out to find one with a 5spd and leather. preferrably with a spoiler or a oem bodykit! cause im picky like that and i cant really do anything until nissan fixes their messups in transferring the lease from my mom to me! nissan

 

 

Leather was never a Honda factory option in the US on any Prelude 97-01. The rare ones that you will find that have leather are just an aftermarket leather kit (like Katzkin, etc.) installed by the dealer.

Your best bet is to just buy one with the cloth and install a get a leather kit installed...

that's not a bad price, I paid $15.7 for my 99 with 33k miles.

 

thanks for the leather info i wasnt aware
