Hi
im planning to but a 5th gen semi-auto vtir prelude next week and was wondering if you guys had any advice on what i should look out for.... if there is any common problems etc.
and im assuming that all the vti-r's had sunroofs???
any advice and comments would be appreciated
thanks in advance
Yep they all had sunroofs.
Also this site is mainly civis and integras :rolleyes: so www.preludeaustralia is your friend :D
Enjoy the 5th gen....WE ALL DOOOOO :):)
ps
Run a search, pple have asked this before :)
You have o be careful with the 5th Gen tiptronics. They are pretty prone to dieing after a short life (less than 80,000kms). I would not buy a tiptronic prelude privately, I would only buy one from a dealer with used car warranty. Replacing the box is a $3000 job minimum. They are also hard to diagnose for the average driver, so have an EXPERT (and I mean a HONDA expert) look at it thoroughly before buying one.
hey man.. dun diss the TIP! hehe
:p
TIP??
SS BABY!!!!!
Chooky is right though, the Auto is prone to go, but Ive read its more the 97-99 models and 99-01 models were OK. My SS is up to 45,000kms and Ive had it since 26,000kms and I havnt had a problem with my gearbox. I drive in SS mode about oooer realistically 75% of the time....:)
Speak to Paul (An!mal) on PA about his box....
Spot a 5th gen and make sure it looks just like a 4th gen!!Quote:
