I spend 6 months looking for a decent second car. As I use my car for work, I like having a back up vehicle if for nothing more than my piece of mind. I was focusing on thrying to find a 88-91 Civic, with reasonable miles and very little rust, hard to do in Minnesota. I used CarSoup.com mostly and I went to look at a few cars. I wasn't happy with what I saw so I expanded my seach. I saw the ad for the 87 Prelude, but did not call right away. I did not know anything about them and I could not tell much from the ad. A month later it was still there so I gave the guy a call. I could not believe how nice the car was when I first saw it. Only 92,000 miles, cold A/C, 4 new Goodyear tires, new brakes front and back, a spotless interior, new timing belt and tune up. And the car had almost no rust. It had spent all but the last four years in a more southern state so it spent most of it's life with no salt. I'm not wild about white paint, but that is one sacrifice I was willing to make. How much? 00, which may or may not seem like a lot to some for a 16 year old car, but try to find something this nice for so little money. I thinks it's a great bargain. To those of you looking for used Honda's, be patient, the deal you want is out there if you look long and hard enough. If anyone knows anything I should watch for maintenance wise for this car, please let me know.
