I love my Prelude, no doubt! I bought it new in Dec. of 1999, and I now have 67,700 miles on it. Haven't seen the dealer for anything except routine maintainance and tires -- the factories lasted about 57,000 miles. As you can tell from my sig that I have done some stereo work and intake/K&N. I do a lot of highway driving, drive it hard sometimes, and always keep up with oil changes. It's a fantastic car, and I am now undecided about getting the 2003 Accord six speed. I think I may keep my Lude untill the wheels roll off. But I have had two people already tell me to look them up when I do decide to sell it. Just a few things to keep in mind: get used to the car before you go hitting VTEC out of the gate, and get the best radar detector you can afford
