It's good deal only if it run great with no major problem.

tennisman1993 · 09-07-2011, 02:11 PM

i wouldnt say it runs great but my car has some issues of its own like it drinks oil and has 202k miles but really a clean crx does have a little rust but the ludes suspention cracles in the back which he said was the springs and he is giving me a ses of all new springs for it which will also lower it. also the interior could use a good cleanning so i dont know many details. but it seamd nice i really dont know what its worth?? can you guys give me a estamate on what you would pay for it or what you think its worth. kbb is 2500.

Based on the Lude having less miles it seems like a good trade. Are both cars auto or standard?

would be good to see the pics of your Rex.

both are 5 speed manuals and here is a link to my rex

89 CRX SI

A CRX is a much rarer car than a Prelude, especially being an Si, much faster car as well, especially with a B series engine under the hood. I'd keep the CRX, only way I'd trade it for a 4g is if it was super clean in and out, it'd also have to be a Si VTEC with under 100k, all stock.

i totaly agree but the only thing is my car is far from purfect its got a good bit of rust all around and the engine is drinking the oil and also its got a leak headgasket so ive been told.. and it has the stock d16a8 not a b series

Looking for something bigger and you want a 4g prelude? You do know anyone taller than 5' isn't going to be able to sit comfortably in the back and there isn't much trunk space. It's close to being a 2 seater because of the interior room, with the front seats moved up enough for someone to get in the back the person up front will have their knees in their pits.

im not woried about that i mean my little sister can fit back there and im used to it my crx has no trunk bechas my subs r back there and no back seats so anything is better im just trying to deside weather or not to put more money into my crx or just trade it. i have never had a 4g lude so idk much aboutthem like if they r proned to break down like my 5g sh was this would be a dd

It's no less reliable than any Honda, the problem I see with them is that so many people don't take care of them. Every time we get one at the dealer it's in the worst condition either from neglect or from paying some hack job to attempt to repair it and F it up worse.

go for it. 171,000 is when I bought mine, and it's still running wonderfully with 238,000 miles.
