Selling Lude. - Honda Prelude Forum

HeavyDLuder91 · 08-24-2006, 07:26 PM

Ok guys I'm am selling the lude but I just don't know how. I'm guessing I could put everything stock back on it...either sell it to an individual buyer or use it as trade in. -or- just sell the lude how it is whole with everything done to it and all then I guess just give away the stock pieces. Now how much should I be looking to get rid of it for when you add the actual value of the car+ the value of everything done to it (minus) the small body damage on the drivers side and wheel well....? You know what I'm saying... HELP ME OUT GUYS!!!

HeavyDLuder91 · 08-24-2006, 07:49 PM

oh yea lol 98 w/ 100,000 + however much I put on it till I sell it.

I would look at 10k including the mods.

This presumes you part your mods out.

BTW, how ya doin' Dougie? Long time no talkie.

See I'm having the same problemo... it sucks

PreludeDude01 · 08-24-2006, 08:37 PM

i recommend you part out, you are more likely to get more from a dealer as well as if you sell it private. nobody wants a pre-modded car. its like having the previous owners name one it. imo.

Yea, modding out is your best option and then selling it on your own.

Yes, it will take longer and require more effort on your part, BUT you will make the most that way.

Doug, I still need to call you up and pick up those lug nuts.

should talk to jimmy about buying your car, cause he needs a 5spd

lumanogin · 08-25-2006, 12:19 PM

I think we should swap out our seats, and since you're selling yours, I'll let us trade for free. I've got an OEM headunit for yours too. Also same deal.

Prelude1897 · 08-25-2006, 01:02 PM

I'd take your headliner off your hands

gold67 · 08-25-2006, 01:40 PM

dibs on the motor! The dealership doesnt need it. They could prolly sell the car without it anyways.( Hustle)

Xander · 08-25-2006, 01:58 PM

LOL at the sharks in this thread.

I think you'll be looking at about $9000 - $9500 modded if you see it yourself. But it may take awhile to get what your want for it. I think it took Natasha in Mineral Wells almost a year to get what she wanted for it.

Kelly Blue Book Private Party Retail (selling it yourself), Good Condition: just north of $7,250
NADA Average retail: $8,700

I can see you getting more that $8000 for it, but not sure how much more. Obviously these amounts will be lower if you trade it in to a dealership.

gold67 · 08-25-2006, 02:06 PM

tried carmax?

HeavyDLuder91 · 08-25-2006, 04:38 PM

Na I havent yet... I guess I'm just going to put a for sale sign on it and just let people call? I

Fr33duB · 08-25-2006, 04:56 PM

Putting a "For Sale" sign in the car, and maybe even putting an ad in the paper is usually a good place to start. You could also post it online at autotrader.com, cars.com, places like that. Then there's also eBay, but that's a decision you gotta make on your own. Good luck, though, I hope you get what you ask for it...

jimmy_lude · 08-25-2006, 04:59 PM

I just sent you a PM...

Morphius · 08-27-2006, 07:51 PM

You still have it for sale? My buddy here is looking to buy a prelude. Also send me some more details.

HeavyDLuder91 · 08-27-2006, 10:42 PM

pm'd and pm'd. I'm really unclear as to what I'll ask for it because I want to be fair on both sides and meet in the middle.... I guess I'll figure it out. Thanks guys.

yo D, I'm taking mine to carmax when it's ready to go just to get a ballpark figure. If i get a good deal on it, I'll let you know...
