For the second time you've come up with a killer deal, if all pieces fall into the corect place, which is somewhat doubtful.

Thanks.

Same, basically. On the outside they are all the same, except for the Valve covers. The power output varies by year and country, but they all make between 180-220 hp.

yeah...It seems like preludes in the east coast aren't that expensive. Or maybe there is something wrong with them.

well idk, that deal is pretty good. I bought my 99' lude (5 spd, leather) 79k miles for $4400 cash and I live in florida. I have had to do some routine maintenance, and I've put around 1k in the car and that's mostly the timing belt and water pump. just make sure you ask all the right questions when you meet the seller.

Thanx guys....all the inputs are highly appreciated.
So i have a couple of ludes lined up for today and tomorrow. Will make a checklist of what to ask incase i forget something.
Just another Q............i just saw an RSX-S with 80k miles and tons of upgrades for $6000. The catch....it has a salvage title. The guys says the radiator and front bumper were changed and he has put 30k miles on the car sinc he bought it.
Now the deal sounds nice but i heard 'salvage' cars can be a pain in the ass especially when ur trying to sell them. Any opinion??
I am trying to keep my option open

To be fair, a 3000GT/stealth weighs about the same as a 5th gen, and has a v-6. They aren't fast (none of the cars mentioned here are), but they are nice cars.

Remember what I posted about "unless it has major problems" earlier? An RSX with 80K on it was NOT totaled because of a busted radiator and front bumper. There had to be major problems with that car in the past for it to have been issued a salvage title.
