Should I buy a Lude?
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

sorry damian. ever since you beat me to full member status I had it out for you. LOL. Well sort of. When you were 200 posts ahead of me I had to do something. my original goal was just to beat you to Diamond. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.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.

I'd sell it privatly afterwards.

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
