I have the opportunity to buy a
2001 Honda Prelude for 19,000
It has 7k miles and still has a 3 year warranty.
It is not the SH model, but has sunroof ect.
Any opinions on the price are welcome. It is like a silver.

 

I've seen them go for a lot more than that...

Do what you want man. But I'd get it.

 

i paid 19,000 for my 2000 sh with 38,000. i know i could have gotten it cheaper. but i did get it a little below blue book. i say go for it

Thats not a bad price at all for that low miles AND a 3 year warranty
what does the warranty cover?
I say go for it

 

According to NADA:

AVERAGE RETAIL: $19950
AVERAGE TRADE-IN: $17475

Being a car salesman myself, if I were buying, I would like to be around $18700. That way I'm in between Retail and wholesale value of the car. Thats just me. It also depends on how high of a demand the Prelude has in your local area. If its at a dealership I would say they have $16500 in the vehicle and will except no less than $18200. Again, just my .02

 

i say go for it.

 

woooo, im sure you could talk them down the extra three hundred bucks
such a big difference, better call the bank for another loan.....

 

on POSlude97.

What purpose does your post have? $300 can make a big difference. That is my RENT payment. sheesh.

Arsenal - That is a good price for a BRAND NEW Prelude. I don't care what area you are living in. If you like it, take it. But you will likely have to add tax onto that I imagine, which will come out to another $2000 or so.

Good luck!

 

The thing is my girlfriend use to have a 97 red SH which she totalled and i loved the car,
But this one is at a dealership (Chevy) and I have already talked them down from 21000-19000, checked with Kelly blue book and said 21000?
Does anyone also know how long a bank can fince on a 01?

 

Don't go for a longer finance period than 60 months. You'll get seriously ripped.

19000 is a good deal, they WILL add tax onto it. Don't let them talk you into buying anything extra, ie alarm, extra warranty, etc. Try to get at the highest a 6% loan, less if you can.

The more you put DOWN, the better deal they will give you. You can use a credit card to do a down payment, but the credit card APR may be too high. My advice is to generate a payment scheme in MS Excel to see what kind of options you have.

 

blow me. then dont get the car if you cant pay rent, people have priorities kid. then wait a week for you next paycheck
and my first post was fine.....and my point was why even bother saying don tget the car at 19000 but get it at 18700....that was dumb
even your agreeing with the price.......jesus christ some of you people are so ****
forget it.....

 

yeah dood, i wouldnt sweat $300. ok if he said 19g's say 18gs and call it a day.

 

POSLude, reread my post. I said around $18700. And maybe I should make myself more clearer, IF I could get the car for $19000 with tax, title, and licensing I probably would buy it. If not I am going to haggle for as much as I possibly can. And when I said $18700 I meant on the road no hidden fees. Example: My car a 1996 Honda Prelude VTEC with 60000miles has a NADA retail of $12150 and a Trade In of $10150. I bought the car for $10800 plus tax and title. So if I could get them to accept an offer of $18200 plus tax and title yes I would buy the car. Now if $800 is not alot of money to you then I'll give you my mailing address and you can share the wealth. See your the type of customer I love to work with because I can make a ton of money on you. But I forgot, to you its just MONEY.

Forgot to add. When I bought my car I paid no tax due to having a total loss statement for my old car in the amount of $12135. All I paid was $129.50 doc fee, $79 for license fee, and $5 for tiltle fee. For a grand total of $11013.50.

So POSLude, if your ever in Minot, ND and you are in need of a vehicle you come see me. AIGHT.

if you had a problem with me why respond to 2k1 itr?!?
anyway......maybe you should have made yourself more clear and this whole problem would have never started. i thought you meant talk them down another 300 bucks.....which i assumed he already talked them down cause it would be stupid not to, so why stress over three hundred, and no i dont have much money, which is why i dont have that many mods on my car. stop being a ***** and
1) make your post clear next time
2) give usefull info
3) stop wasting this guys thread with petty **** (which I need to do also)

Why edit your **** after i post????.....dont be scared old man
and you edited after i posted so you saw that i said i dont have alot of money, balah blah.....stop being dumb, do yourself a favor and post one more time flaming me and ill let you have the last word ok....is that ok with you e-tough guy?
and i wont ever buy **** from you when i got a hook up already, my cousins own two honda dealerships, and my godfather runs one of them.....why would i be in ND anyway, hick???

if i were in your shoes i would buy it

 

Looks like a great deal (if it's a 5 speed). You'll love the Lude!
