Um, let me think here. Where do people usually look for cars at?!?!?!? Oh yea - Cars.com, <U>your classifieds</U>, ebay motors, etc. It's going to be hard to find an Electron Blue Prelude because so few of them were made, so you'll be searching for a while (although, I think there are two of them on ebaymotors right now).

umm... look around at dealerships, want ads, auto classifieds, ebay, autotrader.com, cars.com, vehix.com.... lots of places

if you had around 20-25K to spend on a car would you buy this? I think it looks pretty sweet. The blue color is awesome.

Fvck no are you serious? The thing hasn't even got more than 200 horsepower.

Yeah horsepower isn't everything and those things do handle like they're on rails, but damn a used car for $20k-25k that's gonna get it's ass handed to it by a new SRT4?

Honda does bang for buck performance badly, whether it's in the prelude, s2k, or the sickly overpriced NSX. Well maybe I'm not being fair. They do power-for-buck poorly, but you may be interested in more than just off the line go.

Well, when honda discontinued it, it's resale value stopped depreciating as much because it's more sought after now. I think the KBB value on one is around 20k for the non-sh model.

But, reguardless of the price, a prelude is almost worth it. It's a beautiful machine

:Q you're right...

...but 20k for that? :Q I'm sure it's a nice car but i'd buy one only if it was around $15k... if you look hard enough you can find a Toyota Poopra around the $20k range... I just love discontinued cars though... they don't end up looking like crap because there's a new model out.

no, i'd get a wrx and kill damn near any prelude in any condition

EDIT: oh, and i'd have usable back seats.

I've seen 2000 Jaguar S-Type 4.0 for 20K on autotrader..talking about depreciation...

For that much I'd look for a used S2000

when i bought mine in '98 the SH was running about that much. i got the base model w/ manual trans. i paid about $21K plus taxes.

You can get a 97-98 for less than 20k by far. I know someone who got his hands on a '97 /w 40k miles on it for 10k

:Q Whoa... id buy that in a snap. I guess you'd have to be looking in the right place at the right time... otherwise i can't find deals like those until after i've been looking for 3-4 months...

carmax

i searched Richmond, va (where I live) for fun and it turned up one.

35k miles for 18 grand

 

[Analog]

get a blue Fiero. They only made those in '87.

 

[SpeedFreak03]

Yeah, Preludes are awesome! I used to have a brand new yellow prelude si back in '88. It really sux that honda discontinued the Prelude. Anyway, Electron Blue is an awesome color. In fact, a friend of mine has a '00 Civic Si of that color. I guess you could always get it painted Electron Blue if you can't find one. Good luck with your search.

 

[bolido2000]

My friend just sold his 95 Prelude with 40K miles for 6K.....
