Well, I took the plunge.

Found a 2001 black Prelude with 31000 miles on it, in what looks to be bone stock and pristine shape. Manual transmission of course. Its not an SH, and not 'exactly' my first choice of colors, but I can overlook these things in exchange for one that is in perfect condition.

Its an eBay purchase from a dealer who has good feedback, but of course I am a bit nervous. If the pics are representative of the car, I'll be more than pleased.

I am flying 1-way to WV to pick up the car, and if its to my liking, pay for it and drive it home. If I dont like it, I get my down payment back, and then have to sort out a way home. It should be an interesting trip no matter what happens.
