talk about depriciation.

Something has got to be wrong with the car. KBB lists this at least 3g higher in value.

That is very unusual. It must have a wrecked title or something.

They usually go for 15,000.

You looking?

And you only IM me the 2002's links ??

I've been thinking lately that I should have bought the last year of the lude instead of my CLS...

Don't know why, but I just love the looks of that car...

I havent seen any nice 3rd gens with 4WS lately...they are more rare then 2002's.

Hell, I didnt even know you liked ludes...I ALMOST bought a 5th gen Electron Blue Pearl Type SH almost two years ago...The exact lude I when the 5th gens came out. Damn dealer trying to rip me off because its a discontinued model...In the end it was for the best.

Yeah, I found an 01 with under 40k at a shitty dodge dealer up in Lancaster. fucker wasted my time so I wasted the rest of his day. I just sat with him going in circles making him think he was closer to getting a deal, and then I d back away...reel him in...back away....it was too fucking easy, and he wasn't able to get another customer for the rest of the day

I love that last-generation Prelude - I know someone with a red one with a 5-speed and exhaust. Nice car with some wheels and if it's dropped.

It looked great with the OEM spoiler and body kit.

Looked good with just the OEM spoiler.

Looked boring with nothing. But I felt all preludes should have spoilers. They dont look without them (3rd and 5th gen) 4th gen dont look right period

Only deal with the SH is the ATTS has a tendency to go...might be better off getting a non-SH and modding the suspension. I will admit the ATTS does make a difference in the turns.

I for one wish they never got rid of 4WS...

ATTS is mainly only useful when pushing the car to its limits. So if you're gonna auto-x, or do some heavy canyon runs, then go for it. Also, supposedly the ATTS doesn't take mods all that well (big power that is).

He must have recently bought it himself if it's been recently smogged. Too new to get smogged unless transferred.

Same here. I don't plan on modding the car except for a CAI. Keeping it classy

that's kinda high, considering it's auto (the auto in that thing is as bad, if not worse than the cl-s auto). I bought my '01 lude in October '05 for $12k. It's black, 5pd, and had 57k miles on it, along with only one owner. Search some more, and get one!! They're awesome.

Here is my comparison...however don't use this as a rule of thumb, just my experience:

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=180055

The 'lude doesn't really present power until vtec engagement at 5200rpms. However, once it hits, you know it. The 99-01 (maybe 00-01) supposedly have 200hp and 156 ft-lbs. torque stock.

This car has to have been in a smash or something.

How was the white one?

I remember when I test drove the electron blue SH...I took a corner, warning the guy I was going to, he still clenched for dear life

You can have your Type R tegs...I'll take the lude everyday of the week.
