Opinion on prelude

**drunkenmaster_vic** · 31-08-2007 01:16 PM

Yeah I've got a habit of just jumping in and buying things. Its not good. I'm still looking for a lude and am definitely favouring the manuals now. So you all reckon 99+ lude.. awesome, will just have to wait patiently for now, its best to do it right the first time.

THANK YOU PEOPLE FOR YOUR ADVICE.

mine is triptonic... previous owner had it rebuilt before... so nothing worries me atm... hehe

but yeah... if got the money.. it is easy to say go get newer ludes... but if it's on tight budget... i guess it's still okay as long as you triple check everything and know the full history of the car...

take your time and find a bargain. I waited 7-8months for mine

I actually went and took that car for a drive the other week. The guy looks after it so well.

It drove fine but i agree with the other guys when they say manual. If you were deadset on this car thou, you could haggle him saying it'll cost this much and this much when the gearbox goes etc etc.

He's a really nice guy btw :P

Hahaha. thanks for the heads up Jonald lol. Yeh judging from the pics he keeps it in pristine condition ey. But yeh, i'll be taking everyone's advice on manual.. i don't want to be burdened with gearbox issues regardless of how good the car looks. Thanks for that man!
