Looking to buy a Prelude...have questions
Hi...
I am looking to buy a Prelude (lost my Integra recently due to an accident) and just had a few questions.
1. Real world prices...do you think I could get a 98 or 99 Prelude (base model) for around 12k?
2. What major issues should I look out for when looking at a Prelude (specifically a 98 or 99 model)?
Thanks in advance.

**** man, i'll sell u a nice *** 97 for $9k
(there's a catch, its got no motor

but yes, i shoudl think you should be able to find a good condtion 98-99 no problem, only real issue to look out for is DONT buy an SS (automatic sport shift)

Thanks for the info everyone.
Yeah, I do not want to get an auto, but never owned a 5 spd before...anyone want to teach me how to drive a manual?!

The only way to learn is to buy the car, even if your brother has to drive it home. You go out on the back roads and just **** up and stall your car till you get the hang of it. That's what I did anyway.

Re: Looking to buy a Prelude...have questions (fubar)
I bought a 98' prelude in August with 68,000 miles for $10,400. I love it. I am having a minor elcetrical problem. Not sure if it has to do with the car or all the add ons it came with. Add a body kit and the prelude is the nicest car on the ride imo. Shouldn't have any problem finding one for <$12,000. I bought mine off Ebay believe it or not.
