i've been looking to get a new car because my jetta keeps breaking. i need something reliable to drive from mass to chicago a few times a year.

i found this ad in my local paper:
1987 HONDA: Prelude, 51K, excellent running condition, good tires, standard, $1000

any comments? i don't know anything about preludes, but 51k seems like really low miles so i bet its in good condition. and its only $1000!

 

i don't think i'll be modding it or anything, just commuting.

 

CARFAX check might help to make sure the mileage is correct

 

how bout that price times 8 for 93 vtec lude .. hehe and ill even post the correct mileage.

Buy my Prelude! -- see sig

 

I don't know if I would buy a third gen..which one is the oil burner B20 or B21?

 

B21

 

1987 is a 2nd gen. what can you guys tell me about it? i'm gonna call him tomorrow to find out the deal with the milage.

 

Yep. 87 is 2nd gen. I would definitely pick it up for a commuter. Especially if it is fuel injected. That engine is actually pretty decent. Probably is carburated though if they did not list it as an Si. Probably has a bit of rust but if it runs well what do you have to lose? Hell, I paid $1000 for the 75 Civic CVCC I used to have.

i had a 2nd gen a while back and i can tell you they are great cars. very reliable and easy to work on (except for the hood that opens the wrong way ).
price sounds good if that mileage is correct and if it doesn't need any work.
but i wouldn't pass on it if it's in good shape. i doubt you'll be able to find a more reliable beater for that cheap. good luck

 

peter i told you to get a hatchback....just get on the bandwagon already...oh yeah t3nn15 0wnz j00

 

Bump

 

Buy my car, although i just blew my motor last night, i'll get rid of the car for 800$. And you could get a replacement motor for 650. So for 2 grand you could have a solid car. Im asking 800 for the car because it has many after market parts. Email me if you're interested. E-mail address is in my bio.


Oh yeah... Black, 90 Si, 138k- 5 speed

 

where are you?

 

im here Peter

not you sucka!

 

haha.. youve got two good deals right on a silver platter. hope you hop on one of them soon. personally id opt for no.2 if you can find an engine to drop.

 

Whats up, I live in Rockland County, NY about 30 min outside NYC. The car still runs but I'm running on 3 cylinders. Car has a lot of new parts, I'd have to look through my receipts to list them all. Car is lowered 1 1/2", with H & R springs and tokico struts. I also have GSR wheels, (painted black, professionally) and new Yokohama AVS ES100's tires (195/50/15) with approximately 5K miles. Car also has a custom exhaust 2 1/2. So Email me if you are interested.

i'm a engine dummy, can someone tell me where i find an engine to put in a car? and how i go about getting it into the car? i know nothing!!!

 

Would you be interested in a 1992 Prelude? It's just been painted a bronze/gunmetal color. It has springs, exhaust, intake...

 

Get a 4th gen Vtec

 

92 Prelude is 4th gen...92-95

 

It's actually 92-96
