It depends. How my much do you like fifth gen preludes. I wanna be buried in mine. (If your lost try kbb.com some where close to half kkb is a good deal. But its a prelude so ask yourself.
if the timing belt/water pump and all other belts have been changed thats a def a good thing. Another thing would be to run a compression check and leak down test on the car to make sure the engine is somewhat healthy.
ask owner if they have performed a tune up recently. Check the chasis for any bends. Brakes rotors and tires should be decent. CHeck coolant for oil in it and the engine for any leaks. Has clutch been replaced?? if so when. Check if gears grind. A/C works along with other electronic equipment?? etc... DONT FORGET ANYTHING bc you'll be kicking your own ass later. GL
Oh yea, the price is not bad with that mileage as long as its been taken care of and its not falling apart.

im pretty sure the car is owned by a import specialized that only buys honda and acuras and has tons of engines, parts, etc... im pretty sure its his day to day car though and he wouldn't bag it at all. but ill check it out tomorrow and get back to you guys
That's an amazing price in my case, however, do go over ALL of the stuff listed a couple of posts up.
HOWEVER, the story changes if it's an auto, is it? That may be why it's sop cheap, but if not, then that's a great deal.
He said it's an SH...so not auto.

Hondas themselves tend to last ~250k miles on regular maintenance alone. Check the outside for rust/dents/scratches. Check the inside for the same. Check the engine/transmission (including a compression test). Make sure the Check Engine Light and ATTS light are not on. Give the car a PROPER test drive. It's a decent deal if everything checks out.
Keep in mind, you'll be replacing the clutch soon.
