Team-BHP - Honda Prelude 1993

Dear Friends,

Is it a good idea to own a 1993 (reg 1997) Honda Prelude!

2nd owner, DL number, clean exteriors and Interiors, mechanically and electrically sound.

How much would be the ownership cost of the same! I have absolutely no idea about owning an imports car.

Thanks.

Regards
Gaurav

Its manual and I guess its non VTec! And I am sure that 7L is not a throw-away price!

This link would give you more details.

Honda Prelude - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

7 Lac can get you way better cars, example a 1999 pajero was for sale at 6.5. I know the two cannot be compared but i just wanted to give you a price wise idea.

7l for a 93 non-vtec honda is on the high side, esp something like the prelude which was not a very hot car considering its competitor was the celica and the mr2. IMO if you could get it for around 3 or so it should be worth it, its a 17 yr old car remember!

So 7L is way too high according to you for a 1993 prelude!

I have 7-8L and wish to buy a 2nd hand car for weekend drives. Came accross Prelude and hence the post.

Remember, the Prelude is an Accord with a smart suit driven in a more reclined manner. Similar aged Accords go for Rs 2 Lakhs or less so pay no more than 3

Is is the same red car in Ashok Vihar I had seen couple of months before please share some pictures then only Ic an share my observation about this car... The one which I looked had several add-ons installed.

Come on, you can get something much more better for your budget. You can choose one of the following :

1) Honda Civic
2) Toyota Corolla
3) Skoda vRS/Skoda Laura
4) Honda Accord V6

I suggest a V6 since it will be your weekend drives :)

V6 is in-fact my first choice. Searching for a clean one since few months now, but no luck.

I guess not, because the one I am talking about is standing at Dhaula Kuan Petro pump (Khyber) and absolutely no add-ons on it. (dont have pics)
