im trying to trade this dealership my 96 accord 4 door dx (18" rims, exaust, intake, clearlihts all around, shortshifter, lowering springs, 117k miles) for a 94 si vtec prelude (158k miles h22a1 and a sliping clutch) the dealer wants 1k extra you guys think its worth it???? i gota decide before monday

 

I'm no expert - in fact, my knowledge in this isn't that great - but I don't get how a 96 Accord is worth less than 94 Prelude... unless I'm missing something obvious...

because my accord is DX all manual no leather bone stock sohc non vtec, and the prelude is all power, sun roof, leather, h22a dohc vtec. the blue book prices are like 1500$ diffrent crazy huh?

 

sell all your mods then trade

 

checkout the condition of the prelude... 158k is a lot of miles, esp w/ a slipping clutch. There could be many other things wrong or maintenence due for it which will cost you more $$$ int he near future than you realize.

 

but then again, his accord is "DX"...and to canada, thats the "LX"...edition, (which is what i have) and it basically has nothing in it except A/C and power steering hehehe! the vtec prelude is fully loaded and comes with leather if im not mistaken!

definately something to think about!...but like Mr.CL hubs said, the lude has lots and lots of miles on it!...

i would sell the aftermarket goodies, then sell it stock to him, that way, u can still use the rims for ur new lude, should u decide to wanna trade still!

 

he wont take the car unless it has all the parts on it, (my friend backup in to the front end and its kinds damaged). but i tihnk im gona do it anyways, the motor is alittle beat down but i plain on rebuilding it to handel lager boost anyways.
