Sorry to hear it as well, what a RIDE! I'd LOVE being in debt with something like that!

Do you mind me asking how much you hope or expect to get out of it?? (Just curious) Of course, how can you put a price on blood sweat and love, right?!

sorry to hear about you having to sell your lude

I know how you feel I am selling my prelude also. I have insurance problems and I have to sell it next month.

I hope you get what you want for it

Sucks you're selling it man
Problem is, you'll never ever get even close to what you want.....if you plan on getting your money back, you'll need to part it out.....
Sell everything seperately and get the car as close to stock as possible......sell the motor, turbo kit, transmission, axles, interior stuff, etc all seperate and replace it with stock stuff (so ask people for trades + cash).....

Very nice car, but I'm with Firedrake on this one. I would definately part it out. Yes, I know what all is involved with that (labor/time) wise, but you will lose your *** off otherwise. Nooone in their right mind is going to spend $30k on a modified Honda. Good luck though.

probably be getting another Prelude, there is a 98 SH model for sale in town here, same color, Nordic Mist... if i can get rid of my Lude fast enough to get it, i will, then maybe get a JRSC, but i'll do a lot more suspension mods to this one if all this goes down

Sorry to hear you are selling it. This is the best advice to get most of your money back.

yeah, i'm gonna try eBay for the car first for a while, then use autotrader.... if i can't sell the car as is, i will part out the engine, trans etc, and just buy a stock H22 and put back in the car and keep it, as much as i love the car, i can't forsee keeping it and it being stock after al the work i have into it

Damnit SAM!

I understand the get out of debt issue though. I think you would be better of parting it out as well.

Get an SH!...keep it NA this time

If you serious about parting out. That turbo and engine would look nice in my hatch. And you could sell my engine to make up the difference..

Just a thought.. And I frequent NC alot as well. I was there this weekend too at Highpoint looking at all the ricers drive by all night..
