Depends who you sell it to. Someone who wants to mod their ride, may be willing to pay more for the S-rims. springs, 02-03 tails. the exaughst tips...eh. If your just gonna post the car in the paper or autotrader or something, I'd say part it out for extra cash. People are just gonna compare your price to bluebook and NADA anyhow.

Part out your car if... your willing to ship the items you take off. If there is the possibility of people local wanting your parts. Also scope out if there's a lot of interest in the items your selling. The black market forum has been really active lately so that would be a good place to start. Also try selling your items on other Honda forums.

The rims will be the hardest to sell... the springs should go pretty quickly, and the tips should be easy to sell if they are in good condition. Personally if the car is paid off I would keep it as a daily driver and buy the prelude as a fun mod car.

Good luck with your sale and keep us posted.

If I'm not mistaken, Preludes require premium gas and don't get better gas mileage than a TL? Something like 22/27 city/highway.

Prelude is nice, especially knowing that you can do LOTS more to the car to increase its performance. I have seen couple of ludes that are turbo charged. If you go with Turbo, you will save even more gas and when you need it you can

That infinity looks heavy. I wouldn't want to have a tank like that. You would be working for the gas with that sucker (literaly).

Aftermarket parts won't equally increase the value of the car. Part it out to make back some of your investment.
