it is 206,000 miles for $3000. should i buy it then swap to vtech engine?
or get a 98 prelude for $11,000 with 60k miles which one is worth it?

 

i would go for the 98.....
the 92 is just plain ageing....things are wearing out.

 

I bought my 92 Si 4WS almost 2 years ago for $1800. It needed a lot of work, but the things it needed I wanted to replace with aftermarket parts anyway.

Once the VTEC engine goes in, the car will feel new again. Also, it didn't cost me that much money to do it either.

It's all up to you. If you plan on upgrading a car, I think the older car is ideal. Give it a second life. Why replace parts on a newer car. Plus, 4th gens are really fun to drive.

 

yeah, i wouldn't be able to give you a good answer without more info on the body condition of the 92. :happysad:

 

I bought a 92 4WS with 165,000 miles on it for $3200. It still needs a lot of love and I aint got the money to do it. So long as you realize that just because you replace the engine the rest of the car is still going to have 200,000+ and you'll have to replace a lot, then go for it. I had to replace all the tie rod ends, and the rubber on all the ball joints and a lot of the other rubber/boots for that matter on my car when I got it.

 

Well i bought my 2000 sh used 2 yrs ago for 12,500.00 with 35,000 wich i think was fair check the blue book value for the 2000 lude also how many owners its been tru as well ask the dealer for a carfax on the car they have to give u that by law for free do ur homework before u buy it dude it might save u a thousands, that u could use to upgrade the car. as for that lude not worth just buy a shell and a engine if planning on swapping.. best bet..
YOU HAVE TO THINK TO UR SELF, WHAT WOULD HUSTLE MAN DO???
