1998 Honda Prelude, Good deal?
Hey guys, and gal.
I just bought a 1998 Honda Prelude. Auto
It has 150K+ Mileage.
Salvage title
The auto been acting up, but I was expecting that.
It's been running fine for the past 500 miles though. Weird.
I paid $2,200 for it. The guy wanted $5,500. lol I talked him down.
Now I know this car needs tons of repair, maybe another 5 - 7 G to bring this baby back to life... So when it's all said and done I would have actually spent 7 - 9 G for this car. I am thinking of swapping a JDM H22 and new Transmission. I think to myself, even if it dont run, it's still worth $2,200. A project car is not bad either.
To add to that, I saw a few post about how a guy bought a 5th gen for like $3,000 and the whole front end is damage. And it don't run. Some other even spend up to 5 G for a non-running one.
Cliff Note:
Bought car for $2,200, is it a good deal for me?
