Default Prelude Question

Hi Guys, i am new here so please bare with me.

I just sold my Mustang and was looking for Preludes, 5th generation preffered.
I found one thats in my price range, its an 97 SH 5-speed with 147k miles.
New clutch, flywheel, timing belt done at 90 and clutch at 12k miles.
Do you think its a bad idea, as far as motor goes? What should i look for, how much more life can I expect out of it. Do you think the suspension needs attention at this point? I really want a 5th generation car, just dont have much money allocatd for this right now.

Thank you very much for any insight.

I dunno, if the car was taken care of it will still last for a long, long time to come. If possible though, I would save for one with less than 100k.

How much are you looking to spend? 147k miles isn't a lot for really any Honda, depending on who and how it was driven. I would probably sell my 97 Base Model with 87k and a few mods to you for the right price.

Why's that? I remember the entire purchase/modding of your car in such a short time, and now it's going? It's only been 5 months!
