what to look out for when buyin a Prelude?

[Petronas]

Your Father, there's a bunch of Prelude owners on here and all of us are saying the same thing... The problems with the auto box in the pre 99 5th Gens are no more common than on any other automatic model car....

I agree, I have read thorugh many sources (PA, PP, PO) that the auto boxes do tend to f*ck up more often than the +99 ones...

(I have a 5th gen vti-R manual... i love her...)

Don't be a ****ing tool about it.. Do you seriously think that because your a member on a ****ing car forum that your better than someone, or have more knowledge on a certain topic... ****ing douche

I have respect for yourfather and I think everyone should just forget about what he said...

BUt like I said, have you heard of one failing locally? The only one I've heard of was in an early H22 Accord, and when I spoke to the owner about it, I asked about the service records. His responce was "service...records?" Apparantly nobody told him that his obligations were more than filling the tank with petrol.

I have herd of a couple failing in the US... And they are the same tranny and made in the same plant I think so I imagine it effects AUDM cars as much as JDM, EDM and USDM derived Preludes...?

My old boss had one fail on him, and it was just after he bought the car (im in Melbourne). 2k down the hole, was a 1997 VTi-R and then a friend of a friend with a 99 VTi-R in Sydney had the same problem.
