I'm looking to buy a 1998 Prelude Base w/61 k miles. It is the Pearl White and has 5 speed manual transmission. The prelude is a one owner car, with no accidents. Car is in mint condition with no mods. It has relatively new Bridgestone tires.

The buyers asking price was $8995. The lowest she can go is $7500. Highest I would like to pay is $7200.

How much would you guys pay for the car? Also, anything to look out for?

Buy it for 7500.

Pearl white, mint, 5-speed, no accidents, female owner, one owner, no mods, 61k miles. She could sell for close to 9000 if she had the time to leave it on the market for a few months. I say it's well worth 7500, you should get it.

I am not comfortable in them......soooo. NO.
It took me 1min to decide I wasn't going to buy a 5th gen.

.....ATTS=SH=FUN

mosheikh · 11-07-2009, 02:15 PM

Bump...

I haven't found any good condition preludes or low in mileage. The seller is firm on price.

5thgen_er · 11-07-2009, 02:18 PM

thats a great deal. i say do it.

plus its very likely that it hasnt been driven hard. and with one owner you cant beat it.

mosheikh · 11-07-2009, 03:55 PM

Ok, just wondering.. I didn't know if spending $7,500 on a 12 year old car was worth it or not.

Thanks
