Hello, I really want to get a Red Prelude between 1997 to 2001. I know it's an old car, but I really love those Japanese sport cars in that era.

My only source is craiglist and so far I don't have much luck.

Does anyone know where else would be a good way to find 2nd hand car? Thank you.

well craigslist.ca and buysell.ca are probably the most common source for used car, make sure you leave the budget for the transmission if it's AT...

I know Honda's Milano red is an extremely attractive colour. But do you really insist on this colour and only this colour? I haven't seen too many red ones around on Craigslist, but there have been plenty of listings for silver and white.

Another thing is, have you sat in the car before? For some reason, even though that generation of the Prelude isn't that small a car, the cabin and interior space is pretty tight. I don't really fit in it at all, even though I am not super tall.

Thank you for all the reply.  I am ok, only 5 feet 10, not too crowded for me in that car.

IF it is manuel, of coxi would save some budget for that. Craiglist...doesn't have many good customers.  WE did a lot of email communication, but when i want to see the car, they disappeared.

I can hardly find a similar car in this period...many japanese cars here are designed by Americian desigins...so they all look edgy, like a box running on the road.  Rx 8 looks better, but too bad there are no japanese sports car in middle price range, around 25000 to 30000.

Should be lots of prelude for sale ..

Actually, I was talking to my wife today, I said old prelude is still nice, if she wants want to get one, since she used to like it ....

Find a prelude is easy, find a straight one is hard ......

Headroom is actually not bad, ( for driver ) no problem for people under 6'3.

Prelude looks really nice! But maybe it is a bit big for a lady to drive....

Find a straight one means a good one?

作者: Catpiano 時間: 2009-10-4 23:29

Straight = no major accident, not riced ... in general .. mean good law .. ^_^

作者: shutterbug 時間: 2009-10-5 11:49

Straight vs Bend? haha....sounds like description of "guys"....LOL

Anyway, I like the SR-V (forth gen 93-96) in the old days...those look nicer to me. I think those SR-V were the quickest.

Just saw a couple of red ones on AutoTrader.ca. There is one particular 2000 model that is only selling for $4k, but I suspect something is seriously wrong with that car since it is selling for that cheap.

Ar lik .. 4K is in the low side, but I think $4K is actually the RIGHT price for a 10 yr old Prelude .. ( depends on km ..etc )

However, most kids are still asking way too much... since they think they can get more when they have riced them out ..

SB, I like those older prelude too .. but how can u stand for those digital dail?

I still remember I almost bought a SR-V in 93 or 94 ...

作者: mucc1928 時間: 2009-10-5 18:46

Yeah i am looking for a red prelude in teh range of 5000 to 7000, around 160k to 180km

but it's so hard to find a good one.......A lot of car owners are jerk....they never show up when you wnat to do a car inspection.

Oh yeah, the rear lights of that generation is awesome! The front does not attract me too much though. If the back of SRV plus the front of the new generationi, that would be perfect look.

i don't care about power...as i don't race. I just want a good looking car, hehe.
