Was every prelude buitl in Japan or what? I have always wanted to know this! Thanks guys


Haha edited I said Japap haha

 

i think it tells you on the VIN #

 

if the vin starts with a j it was bilt in japan but that dosent meen is a japan spek lude it just means it was bilt in japan and shiped its a us spak lude if it start with a 1 it was built in us a 2 is canada a 3 is mexico a s is uk and a 5 is i dont know but 5s are out there(pilot cr-vs)

 

Every North American Prelude was built in Japan. The plant that built them now builds the S2K.

 

the j in the vin number does not mean it was built in japan. alot if hondas that were not built there begin with j

 

My brain just turned off trying to decipher that.


I think also the sticker in the driver door frame says "built in Japan" but I might be mistaken. :dunno:

 

it says on the door jam where it was built. i have 2 civics and a lude and they were all manufactured in japan. i must say most every honda i have worked on was built in japan

 

Right, they say where it was built in the door jams...

Alot of Hondas are built in Japan, but some of the more common civics and acuras are built in the US or Canada. My EG was built by Honda of Canada. My bro's 02 SI was built in England, and my 97 lude was built in Japan. I'm pretty sure my other bro's 98 accord was built in US.
It all depends where the manufacturer can make money and still afford to produce the car...

 

i believe all vin's starting with J were built in japan.
