Thinking about parting the car out... - Honda Prelude Forum

pioneerprelude · 11-09-2002, 06:07 PM

hey im weighing ideas around...after this winter i want to sell my 3rd gen. do you guys think i would make out better by trying to part it out or just try and sell the whole car? would anyone be interested in peices of the car? im just trying to get a feel for things. thanks for any input...

Better off selling the car. Unless you don't mind turning your yard into a junkyard. You have to get rid of the unit body once you part it out!

yeah good call...i will most likly end up selling it, just pondering ideas

plus my dad wouldnt like my car in peices throughout the yard haha!

Yeah, definately sell it in one piece. You'll be much more satisfied. What do you plan on buying for your next car?

Cuz he's probably realized that there are way better cars out there, for example: A 4th gen. Lude!

haha no im going to buy a 5th gen( a better car then the 4th, ahah just playin)...just got the 3rd to get me around for a while. although, it is a amazing car and i couldt be happier w. it, i just need to eventually sell the 3rd and put that $$ toward the 5th gen...

i have to admit, going out in the garage at 11 oclock at night and being able to mess around with MY car till 4 in the morning is the best thing ever! i just took apart my fogs, and im trying to dress up and clean the front end...lost of marks and holes to fix from the previous owner ahh!

No doubt, there's a ton of newer/better cars then the 3rd gen lude or any lude for that matter. But you gotta admit the 3rd gen has some good handling and decent performance for an older car. Well good luck on your new 5th gen pioneerprelude.

yeah other then the no cupholders, and the leaking of the sunroof, the 3rd gen is flawless...fantastic handeling and performance. :big thumb:

parting your lude out? lol..... i wish i could remember what your body looked like....

Preyluder · 11-12-2002, 02:23 PM

I guess I'll give you that one. The 5g does LOOK better than the 4g, MODIFIED that is, but stock, I like the styling of the 4g more. Plus, the 4g vtecs are faster!!

pioneerprelude · 11-12-2002, 06:45 PM

very stock wise 4th are much sleeker..but modified....5th gens own!

irene...my body blows...rust, detail touchup paint and a lot of it!haha

LUDE'Z · 11-12-2002, 07:05 PM

Yeah I agree. If i could choose i would probably take the 4th gen and put in a JDM engine.

PreludeChick89 · 11-13-2002, 01:32 PM

bah.. i have a 4th gen.. so i'm keeping the 3rd gen until the jdm goes......

i'm looking forward to graduating and getting matching mini coopers with mike.. hehe

LUDE'Z · 11-14-2002, 03:11 PM

Preyluder · 11-14-2002, 07:52 PM
