Default Should I buy

There are 2 preludes for sale near me. I have a civic and am wondering if I should get them both as projects. One is a 2001 and needs new ball joints, ( cheap but how hard is this?)
and the other one is a 97, and he says it has a h22a swap( isn’t that what those engines are?) needs new brakes and some cosmetic stuff. What is the value of these as a package?
thanks!

Yes they are both manual. 200k kilometres on the one without an engine swap and the other one has like 250k kilometres but it has an engine swap supposedly

Unless it is a Japanese, European, or Australian model it would only come with a H22 variant engine unless this isn't the first swap for that car. Also I would only purchase manual Preludes

5th gen prelude engine options
since the newer automatics had electrical problems.

It's hard to tell without seeing the cars. What are they listed for?

From the pictures the bodies are in great condition except that they both need new hoods or some bondo. He’s asking 6k Canadian for the 2 of them together.

That's a pretty good price for two cars in general. I would still see if they would take a little less to get the best deal possible.
