Trust me kid .. Preludes are not "econo-boxes" like the civic that you drive
I love Bmw's ... actually i was in December looking for a Second Car and honestly i was looking for a BM since my family has own several when i was kid .. they're amazing cars (in the end i got a Accord for 12K with very low miles v6 etc) my boss got a X5 and his partner a Brand-spanking new 6 series (its amazing)... but sorry to said that but for 6-8K you're never going to find a BMW in good condition .. and i'm sure that not "ANY" 3 series can beat a Prelude .. just re-think how you answer the question with some maturity, a true car enthusiast can drive a 40K Elise without thinking that a 150K Ferrari is the only car in the world ...
