Common 5th gen problems?
I'm planning on looking at some 5th gen Ludes and was wondring if there was anything Prelude-specific that I should look for problem/wear wise. I've owned four Civics, so I'm pretty familiar with Honda products.

I'm looking for specific fifth-gen things to look for. I just want to make sure I am well informed. If you don't want to help, then don't post. I didn't come upon any threads similar to this one and I did search. No need to be insulting, man.
EDIT: Okay, I just found ONE thread with similar info...

To start off, preludeonline has "way" too much information on the problems, as well as the normal posts based on the query you may have, i.e. brakes, power steering, steering wheel.
Search it, it is there.

Re: Common 5th gen problems? (Sushiboy)
I haven't had any major problems with my 5th gen and I've had it for over 2 years. It's my daily driver, and it has been driven hard too. It's been through nitrous, and now turbo, with no problems. The only real problem I had was the timing belt tensoner, which I got fixed pretty easily.

97 Prelude
I got a 97 prelude with 90,000 miles and the engine still runs good. you are prob looking for a manual, but with the auto, my transmission is already slippin. ANother thing is that my prelude on gets 14 mpg. There is either somethin wrong with my car that i don kno about or preludes get bad gas miles.
