1) the only way to break a normal Honda is to abuse it

2) if you're looking at someone else's remains of a modded out car, then they swapped a better or newer engine (which cost them upwards of$2000)

think of it as an improvement instead of something fishy about the vehicles past working condition. it's a Honda, take care of it, and it'll last you forever.

Don't buy a Prelude that was owned by a kid or was modded. Most likely, it will be nothing but trouble.

Good luck.

Ludes are a pain to buy because majority are owned by kids who beat on them. I waited for almost 6 months to find my first Prelude and it was a steal. The best thing you can do is just be patient and be willing to drive a ways to go look at them. Or you can just buy mine...I swear it came with a JDM swap.

Good luck
