Hi. 5th gen Preludes are fantastic. I have 70,000 miles on mine (bought it in Dec. of 1999) and no problems at all. If you are getting one with the sequential sport shift, be sure to follow the recommended service intervals on the tranny. They kind of need to be babied. If you are getting a manual, the clutch is indestructable!!!! Mine doesn't have even a slight bit of slip, and I am not the most conservative driver. Part of that goes with knowing how to drive a VTEC with stick to begin with, but when Cavalier clutches go at 60,000 with less hp and torque, shows the quality of the car. I'm sure you will have plenty of fun with it. Besides, since they don't make them any more, and production was about 15,000 per year on 5th gen, you will have a car no one else has. Good luck!
