Honestly I dont think you will get more than $14K if you try to sell it later on, but it really depends on how much you want to keep it. I would probably keep it. My tiny input.

1997 240sx sr20det soup it up, or keep your already pimping lude.

why would anyone want to get rid of JRSCed lude?

If your looking for something different, go w/ the 240 or the WRX. At least the 240 is turbo + RWD or the WRX is turbo + AWD. Moving to the Civic or the 'Teg I would consider a step sideways.

hwani.h22a. · 03-17-2005, 01:41 PM

^ exactly. I would not move on to another similar car as prelude such as vic/teg.

WRX is great and all, but every neighbor, every high school kids, every marriage couples, etc etc all have one.

Not that im saying 240 is "rare", but I think its harder to see a pimped out "true" tuned 240 than WRX.

but either way, you won't be disappointed.

these days the only thing id give my lude up for would be an STI or Evo MR. ive had the lude for so long that its a part of me now though. i think if you do sell it, go with the WRX. personally, seeing what you have done to ur lude, id keep it

The only 240 that is "rare" is the kouki 97+. 240's are the new civic and the sr swaps are just getting more popular. Honestly out of the choices you have I'd only leave the lude for an s14 Kouki along with one of the available swaps (rb20/25/26, sr red/black, not a fan of the ca18).

thats what i was thinking but im affaired that i might not like it as much as the lude... i love the lude and i would keep it for sure if i would have went turbo but.....i just hope that if i go with the 97+ 240 and do an sr20 swap it will be faster the the lude now......i think that the 5g lude is one sexy beast though....

How the hell are you selling a '97 Prelude for $14,000?

You lucky bastard, you must have a real sucker on your hands.

With as much work as he has done, its a fair price.

yeah i agree and so does the buyer so....... thanks

Prelude Racer · 03-18-2005, 08:42 AM

i am in the same boat as you. I have a JRSC lude with a bunch of mods - see sig for just a few. I am thinking about parting it out and selling it. Or just selling the JRSC and all of its components so I can turn it into my daily driver and buy my true dream car - NSX

preludejtstyle · 03-18-2005, 09:06 AM

Supercharged MR2 All-trac (not the spyder), TT Supra, RX-7, 91 NSX, thats all i can think of off the top of my head.

hwani.h22a. · 03-18-2005, 03:34 PM

TT supra, RX-7 and NSX is all everyone's never ending dream.

Insurance is gonna rip you a new one.

Just get the damn 240 with RB or SR in it. they are so sexy when done right.

GZD97LUDE · 03-19-2005, 09:40 AM

you can go to www.turbovisions.com and get a skyline cheap

Moonraker · 03-19-2005, 03:44 PM

If you sell your Lude, sell it stock and put all your aftermaket parts for the sale in this forum, your return on investment will be better.

Emerald99 · 03-19-2005, 04:11 PM

my car's up for sale @ $12,500, i'm not expecting to sell, but if i do, i want to get an FD a couple years from now. Me <3 RX-7's. As long as i have a beater or some sort... If you're getting $14k, go with it man. 240 would be sweet with the full silvia conversion. I don't know about reliability or anything, but if that's what concerns you, maybe you should get an WRX?

h22 bb6 · 03-20-2005, 03:13 AM

If he's worried about reliability, the worst thing to do is sell your current car for something even older. Older cars will always be on the quicker path to having issues.

GZD97LUDE · 03-21-2005, 11:35 AM

if i got a 240 it would be a 97+ ... i love the headlights on them... i also thought about getting an FD but the 13B has alot of issuse's ......
