Yea i got a 2000 w/ 9,700 miles on it last may for $17,000. still a baby now it has 21000 miles on it.

 

i got my 97 6 months ago for $10k. 57k miles.. but my paint needs to be redone... and both estimates were around $5k for the same color.... :-(

 

ARE YOU KIDDING ME 5K?! I can get a PERFECT paint job you name the color for $1000

 

ok well mines base model then.. strange bout insurance though, they asked us if it was a sh even after we gave the vin:P But yknow, i guess it being a base model is the good thing honestly because its lighter, no?

 

Enjoy the prelude, they're fun cars.

You should sign up @ http://www.preludeonline.com too

 

congrats on the new purchase.
sounds like a great buy to me
i got mine a 99 base for 11900 at 34K
so yours is one year newer so it's about right price margin
planing onany mods?

 

since im new to preludes i figured id start small and go with basic boltons and some headwork like new cams, polishing etc... Probably i wont do any external mods, maybe tint job. I pretty much like the whole way the car looks as is, i think making it look stock will leave the wannabes' guessing when i show a timeslip that blows anything they could do away . I hear of a vafc? what exactly does that do? controls air fuel flow for vtecs? how well does that help a engine that is not turbocharged?

 

Well i just got my 00 prelude w/ Honda installed leather interior and 20,000 miles for $13,500 and i think thats a hell-of-a-deal. I wasnt goin to buy the lude due to the lack of leather but i found a private owner and am pretty damm happy w/ my purchase

 

That looks like a great buy! I just picked up an '01 SH with 76 miles on it for $18K. The car is brand spanking new, and had all the mechanics cracking up when I brought it in for the first time. They could not believe that there was still a new prelude out there.

My problem now is that I have to learn how to drive stick and figure out where to buy the prepainted under spoilers for the front and rear. I have looked everywhere for them in the satin silver color and have not had much luck finding them. Handa-accessories.com has the rear and sides in my color but no front. Does anyone know of a reliable source that has the front in stock? I found a place out of Canada that has them all (allegedy), but it looks kinda of suspect. Their name is autopartselect.com...anyone deal with them before?

 

try a Wings West RS Kit, if i'm not mistaken they can send you pre-painted to your factory color...
