Default Shaun's 86 Si

so i sold my 89' civic std for $1500













then i picked up my dad's friend's pretty mint 86' prelude for $1800



























NOTE:
i forgot to picture the sunroof, all damage pictured, and yes only 65k original miles. so what do you guys think on both deals? and also i'd love input on the direction i should go with the lude.

thanks - shaun

It'll be considerably hard for you to find replacement parts. That's the only bad thing.

i was honestly worried about that too, but the condition it's in hopefully i won't need to replace to many things.

The upside is the backseat, you can fit about four or five bros back there.

I had an identical 1985.5 Prelude Si (the exact same color), one of the first ones that Honda made. It was the best car I ever owned. I'm still extremely upset I totaled it several years ago.. the engine had 272K miles on it and ran like it was brand new. Take good care of yours!

A coworker had the exact same car and last I heard, he had over 400K miles and he didn't maintain his nearly as meticulously as I did. I think that engine will run forever.
