Since you mentioned 16k for working engine vhiecle. I honestly would try to sell for 7,500. I figured all anyone would need is to drop another engine in there and if they wanted to sell the current JDM motor in thecar already. So in actuality to get everything running you still looking at less then 10,000 for a Prelude but either way you would still save 6k.
I sold my M3 without a working engine for $5,000 dollars because i know it will cost 4500 just for the engine alone. and then another 1500 for total installation. All together the buyer would've spent 11,000. Had i sold the car with a running engine i would've sold it only for 12,000. Which is NADA value.
So im basing this sale on the prelude based on NADA value of a working Prelude which being 12,000 dollars. WOuld offering a price of $7,500 be a acceptable price to offer if i were to sell?
you have to also take into account that people tend to prefer stock or unmodified cars.
this car blows that out of the water... you'll get 4-5k if you are lucky.
also take into consideration that you should be going on what others are paying in your area for the cheapest preludes (autos most likely) because they all have the same shell basically.
