Ok, So there is a teacher at my gfs school that is selling a 1995 Prelude SR-V. He is selling it for 11900 CANADIAN DOLLARS OBO. REMEMBER THIS IS CANADIAN MONEY. anywho, its in very very good condition and has 128,000kms. What kind of hp and engine does this car have? I tried looking but couldnt find any results, and would it be worth the money if she could get it for 10,000 even? Thanks to everyone who helps

well it will be my gf's car, im just asking if it will be a good car to get for that price, and also for my knowing cause some stuff will happen as far as mods, but what other cars can i compare this too, as far as fast whatnot.

i think those were the prelude model year with the fastest stock times

go onto autotrader.ca and look up the same car and see how the prices are for those. this way you'll have an idea if its a good deal or not.

$10,000 CDN sounds like a reasonable price. Insurance might be high since it's a 'sports coupe', but it also depends on the age of the person. What people said up there were right. Heavy car, heavy engine, H22 = 2.2L Vtec w/ about 200 HP...

but it would still kick our civics tho hey?

Yes the prelude would beat the crap out of the civic. I think that year had 190hp it was the fastest stock prelude.

is it auto or manual? because it's been my experience that even the autos are pretty quick. but nothing beats the feel of a stick

 
Rep Power: 297

I am pretty sure its a manual but im not 100% sure. either way, I just want her to have something that will be fast also.

lol, def faster the civic... car could do mid - low 15's stock, civic can't do that. Ive driven a friends prelude (made a post about it in track/street/strip) and I loved it, especially the vtec change over, nice *** car!

It did have 190 hp. $11,900 sounds a bit high, even if it is in good condition. It is a 1995 Honda, so it will eventually rust. Check to see if it was undercoated regularly, because I have seen a lot of the 92-96 Preludes with body rust driving around. Check the underbody and especially the wheel wells for any signs of rust. Ask if it is original paint, because if it has been repainted it was most likely because of an accident, or rust starting.

thats hella high. you can get it from a dealer with 100k or lower but no more than 100k miles for like 7 grand with 5spd too.
