Should I buy a Lude?

I was thinking that instead of modding my car, maybe i should buy a 5th gen lude. for a small amount of money. I discovered that 97 and 98 ludes can be had for around 20k canadian! So, should i ditch the civic for a lude?

hmmn. good question... depends on what kinda condition the lude is in, and what you want in a car [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

you should write out a big honkin list of pro's and con's for each car and see where u get after that

i think prelude is pretty good car, but for me i would rather get a new car, just don't like used car. But if the car is in good condition, i will take it anyday

I'd take a lude in a second over my car....

I'd be checking the insurance on it first though...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

I hate used cars, don't know where they've been and how they'd been treated. So, I would stick with your ride. But a prelude is a good foundation for performance parts! The H22 is a potent engine. Greddy is releasing a turbo kit for the 97-2000 ludes. Might be something to check into!

sticking with my car could be the best option still. and i don't really want the hassle of trying to sell it. I'll just keep it for now, I think. but really, I'll only decide, once I go out test driving.

*sigh*

if they still made preludes I'd go get a brand new one this year...love that car. can't stand used cars though. if something breaks I want to be the one responsible for it just so that there isn't any doubt.

on a side note, go for PMG dude..!!

Well I stoped by a used car dealer with a 97 lude today. 20,999. It was in alright shape, but it's a used car. I didn't like the used part, the steering wheel was all shiny, as was the shift ****. lol, i guess that doesn't really matter, all in all it seemed pretty clean.

but the funny part was, that they said they'd give me 10,000 for the 2k1. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] So if I bought it from them I definatly wouldn't be trading it in. I'd sell it privatly afterwards.

hmmm, well that lude is a possibility. but i'd rather spend the 8gs on my civic... Here's what I'm planning on doing.

Tsunami Front Bumper
BC Aero sides/rear
Eibach Prokit & Koni Yellows
Gude Head package
Custom 2 Tone leather
Seat Heaters
Integrated laptop (they're cheap, only like 1600 for a nice one these days, just gotta figure out how to mount it)
Infinity Perfect Components (or maybe MEI's or Focals) driven by my Phoenix Gold XS2500 (125x2 at 4 ohms stereo, 500x1 4 ohm bridged)
IDMAX 12" sub driven by a Phoenix Gold QX 900.1D
Full Dynamatt (or some alternative, like brown bread)
Injen Race Division CAI
HP Header
some kind of exhaust
