89 Prelude 2.0SI - Upstate New York
Hello all... I've got an 89 Prelude 2.0Si with about 180k sitting in my driveway that needs to go bye-bye immediately... The car is in great shape body-wise, but needs lots of help mechanically. There is only one spot of rust on the gas door, and a couple of dents on the trunk lid. Interior is in great shape for a 15 year old car. The motor runs strong, but burns a little oil. Flip-up headlights function great! Shocks and springs seem to be okay.
Now onto the bad stuff.... The car most likely needs new tie rods/ends and ball joints. Needs brakes all the way around, and needs a muffler. The horn does not work. There's a leak in the power steering hose coming from the pump, so it won't hold fluid for more than a few days. The alternator needs to be replaced; I started the project, but then got fed up with the bottom bolt, and said screw it. It's been sitting for a few weeks, and the brakes are rusted up. Will also need a new battery I think.
Based on the mechanical condition, I would think this would be good for a parts car, but a savvy mechanic could have this thing roadworthy in a day of so. I just need it out of here. I'd like to get $4-500 for it, but i'll definitely negotiate. Car has a clear title. I'll take pics if you desire! PM me for more info!
