I apologize if this is not the right place to post this message. But I thought that posting this in Classifieds/Selling forums would be deceiving, because I am not selling this car. I am looking for an opinion about what it may be worth. I don't want to name the price I bought it for just yet, as not to distort the opinions of the experts on this forum.
I've never had a prelude before, and I don't have the same knowledge many people on this forums do.
I just purchased a used prelude and would like to know how much it's worth. Here are the stats:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Honda Prelude /S
175K miles
1992
2-door.
crack on the windshield that stretches from where rear-view mirror is to the left side.
crack across the passenger side (right hand side) rear view mirror
5-speed manual.
engine runs and sounds perfectly.
shifting works like a charm.
no caution lights on the dashboard.
breaks look recent. but i do have to press harder than one may expect to slow down on high speed. (45mph).
wheels look in perfect condition
tires could be replaced, but could last another 10L-15K or so
minor cosmetic irregularities on right side of the car:
two spots that could be painted over.
a semi-major cosmetic issue on the other side
(there are perfectly round holes spread over an area of 20 by 20 inch just behind the door.) To me it seemed like someone shot the car with a shot-gun... 10 times. Seller failed to explain what they were. But it might be it is the holes that make the body lighter, and the paint just came off from that area in particular. I simply don't know. It doesn't look too great, but it is not completely ugly either. It is not causing any mechanical problems and is strictly cosmetic inadequacy. I do not show a picture of that area, because I don't have one right now. But imagine that it's not there -- because I am likely to pour some cash into fixing that.

Come on experts... what something like this could cost?
Thanks!
