FamilyPrelude - NICE car

but a little over my budget
there are a few around here, I have passed on countless cars because of funny problems and whatnot. my best bet is to just get one for a good price in decent condition and then go from there... I want a vtec, but would rather spend less on an Si then do the swap later on
for what it's worth, I think these cars are about at the bottom of there value for the time being. $2,500 seems to be about the average price for a decent used one.
this semi-local guy is trying to sell a 93 BB1 with oil leaking out of both sides of the motor (cam seals, distrib seal) and 100k on t-belt (may have oil on it too), scratches on the rear and dented hood for $3k. Near 200k mi too. The guy wants to charge more to take the valve cover off and inspect the timing belt.
Dealerships want $5k for these cars regardless of mileage/condition around here.
I may get an ok one in ok condition and then fix it up.....the only thing that comes into play is the law of diminishing returns
oh, and people also want 1k for their car that needs an engine and is in crappy condition
should've kept my 93.....the first and only 'mod' will be jdm one piecers with tsx projectors
