After owning this car for .... 14 months or so now, I decided about a week ago to take the very first pictures of my car. And, most likely, will be the only pictures I'll ever take of it, until I sell it this coming summer. Nevertheless, I wanted to share my baby to everyone and see what everyone thought. All comments are welcome . Oh, and sorry for all the pics

Thats a real nice 'Lude. My favorite body style. I would have bought one of those instead of the CL if I could have found one.

 

I actually thought about getting one back when I was in the market for a car. Why are you selling this one?

 

Looks damn clean.

 

oem front lip, mugen sides and rears, twin loop (could it really be mugen?) exhaust... damn i miss my lude. how much you plan on selling for

 

my roomate had the type-sh and it was nice. I love the body style.

 

Well...

I bought the car as a replacement for the CL-S for my last two years because I fiend for a stick shift. Plus, my car was nearing 100k miles, so I needed a replacement for around 10-13k, so I decided to go for a 'lude. As for the exhaust, yes, it is a genuine Mugen exhaust...and it is awesome. As far as selling it, the car was a temporary purchase. Plus, I will most likely be working in the city, so at this point in time, I don't think a stick shift will be reasonable. If anybody's got any questions, let me know.

 

Damn, I want a Prelude more than ever now. My girlfriend thanks you.

 

good thing yours was a MT... my friends had so many issues with their AT... glass just like the 2nd gen TL/CL tranny...

 

very clean lude! i like it

 

That's my favorite 'lude bodystyle. I'd probably have bought one if they still made them when I was looking.

 

Squeaky Clean

 

I've had a thing for that car since I had my 87 'Lude.
Very clean...Love it.

 

Absolutely beautiful!! I've always loved the later model Preludes, especially the SH. Have you given any thought to how much you are going to let her go for?

Good luck!

 

i dunno...depends on how many miles I put on her by that time

I figure that the best I'll get for it is 10k, but we'll see. And yeah, the autos in this thing are just as weak as the CL's.

 

My wife had a '98 white Prelude that we sold in '01 w/70K. Great car....my TSX reminds me of a more refined/upscale Prelude.

 

always loved ludes!! this one looks great

 

o and nice trunk

 

I've previously owned an '85 and '95 Si - both bought used, driven hard and re-sold w/ nice residual. Great, great cars.

The last gen is still a great looking ride!

IMO, it would be cool if the Accord coupe concept was badged a lude.

 

Too bad they discontinued the Preludes, always loved them.

 

Had an 88 prelude for 11 years. It refused to die!. Still miss that car once in a while. Preludes are great cars. Too bad it was discontinued.

 

i was in the market for ludes too.....unfortunately i bought a GSR instead and im kicking myself in the ass everyday..i woulda loved the extra few ponies the h22 delivered...i wanted one just like that too..black

 

nice car...only thing missing is a nice drop..

 

Nice!

 

love the car

 

Nice and clean. I always liked those ludes. Looked for one for a bit, but I was never able to find one that wasn't all beat up or riced out when I was car shopping.

 

yeah...when I was shopping for one, it was quite difficult to find one in good shape with a decent amount of miles. My baby just hit 68k miles, and feels brand new

 

 

yeah I figured that would get brought up...I have eibach springs for the car which I never decided to install since the car was a temp. purchase (as earlier noted). I would have loved to give it a nice simple drop and throw on some wheels, but never got around to it :\

 

looks clean, I have a 98 Type SH in WDP whiched I loved alot, whats the prelude like compared to your old CL?

 

That's a real nice car. I've always loved that particular gen of Prelude.

 

thanks guys...

As far as comparing the two, they are two completely different animals. For example:

The Prelude
- VERY nimble, and a blast to drive around hard
- more of a 'kick in the pants' when you accelerate (VTEC is stronger, or at least feels like it)
- very in touch with the road
- very simplistic, clean interior, but has 0 luxury
- might as well been a 2 seater, since the rear seats might be able to fit Tiny Tim
- Lastly, it carries that ricer image which I'm over, but I will always remember it for how much fun it has provided for me

The CL-S
- a LOT more refined, including the acceleration
- more smooth, feels like it glides along the road
- feels like an adult's ride, opposite of the 'lude
- I always liked this interior, and miss it deeply. Felt very sport, yet luxurious at the same time
- Overall, I miss this car a ton, and the Prelude wouldn't be missed THAT much had I gotten back into one
