I love those things. Good luck with the sale, I'd be all over it if I was closer and it made a bit more sense for me to own.

If I was closer to SC, I'd buy it, though "needs good home" is relative. I'd definitely fix up the car, but try to build it for the track.

Will you take $150?????

Just kidding. I feel for you buddy. What crapped out on your DD? I hate selling all cars, even the maintenance hogs (cough, every bmw I have owned except my current 5 cough)

Good luck with the sale. I'd love to rock one of those, they look hella fun.

I have so much empathy right now, it isn't funny.

I'd buy this if I were in SC. I'm looking for a car that needs a bit of fixing as my first.

Whereabouts are you?

12/08/2013 at 13:38

The tires crapped out, haha. I was on belts on 3 of them.

My Montero is wearing very unevenly on its tires and I have to replace all 4 simultaneously. Not looking forward to it.

I'm up in south eastern Ontario, in Canada.

My Audi wears through the outside corners like mad. I really need to get a camber kit and add some negative camber. Or maybe I should stop cornering so hard...

Nope. Camber kit.

That's only 2.5hrs from me. If I had the money....

The price is negotiable for fellow Jalops, lol.

Nonononononononono.....

I have no money and no space. I can't afford another car. But I can dream...

Yo. Buddy has a '99 Maxima for sale for a pretty reasonable price. He's located in Kanata. http://ottawa.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicle…

Great car! Let me know if you're interested. I know the seller, so we could make a deal. You won't have to pay $1000 for it that's for sure.

Zipppy, Mazdurp builder, Probeski owner and former ricerboy > thebigbossyboss
12/08/2013 at 15:05

Wow. It's even in Kanata. It's either that car, or an MX-6 I found at a nearby town.

Kinja'd!!!

I would buy it if one state down. Just don't let the S-word happen to it :(

thebigbossyboss > Zipppy, Mazdurp builder, Probeski owner and former ricerboy
12/08/2013 at 15:08

Ok. If your interested in this car, don't hesitate to contact the seller, or myself on here. The seller's name is Brad. FYI this car drove as recently as last week.

Zipppy, Mazdurp builder, Probeski owner and former ricerboy > thebigbossyboss
12/08/2013 at 15:16

I just let a buddy of mine know, as he's looking for a car as well.

Ok cool. Thanks!

What do you mean if one state down?

JayZAyEighty thinks C4+3=C7 > Desu-San-Desu
12/08/2013 at 15:31

I live in VA; I'm saying that I would take the 'lude off your hands if I lived in NC or closer. BTW, I'm sorry you have to sell it.

Desu-San-Desu > JayZAyEighty thinks C4+3=C7
12/08/2013 at 15:33

I'm an hour south of the NC border. :-P

And I'm sorry too, but I have to be realistic about my priorities right now.

JayZAyEighty thinks C4+3=C7 > Desu-San-Desu
12/08/2013 at 15:40

Best of luck! I am sure plenty of people will be interested in a straight, early Prelude.

You'd be surprised at how little response I've gotten...

Clown Shoe Pilot > Desu-San-Desu
12/08/2013 at 15:46

you could sell the audi w/ its expensive regular maint and daily the prelude...

Desu-San-Desu > Clown Shoe Pilot
12/08/2013 at 15:50

Nope.

NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE!

I love that Audi more than half the people I know.

Clown Shoe Pilot > Desu-San-Desu
12/08/2013 at 15:52

alternatively you could daily the prelude and seriously stretch out the interval at which the audi costs you money.

my M coupe sits in the garage most of the time. daily duty has been:

1986 nissan 200sx (pre-lemons build)

1986 prelude 2.0 si (pre-lemons build)

1991 honda CRX (pre.... sale to a guy in hawaii)

2012 hyundai veloster (current daily pending possible sale to my brother)

12/08/2013 at 15:58

I'm wondering if you read the ad.

The Prelude is currently not running. I can't afford to fix it. Hence why I'm selling it so I can pay my bills instead.

12/08/2013 at 16:25

Hey, so is the car still available? How many miles? What of transmission? What year? Will you take $200?

Be used to emails like that haha.. aweosme car though.

Please don't sell it to a wannabe tuner/ricer, sell it to either an enthusiast or a collector.

CaseDawg > Desu-San-Desu
12/08/2013 at 17:59

Ugh. I would love this. I am in Myrtle Beach. Not Tooo far away. Just had to get rid of my '96 Civic, and want a nice DD with some milage.

If I could get the old lady to come around...

Desu-San-Desu > CaseDawg
12/08/2013 at 18:02

Lol. What was wrong with the Civic?

And you did read the listing, right? It's currently not running after a blown head gasket was had. It'll need to have that looked to before it can be used as a D.D.

However, when I was driving it for my daily, it was pretty wonderful. Mechanically, it was awesome. Which is pretty much what you want from a project.

CaseDawg > Desu-San-Desu
12/08/2013 at 21:06

Oh yeah. I read it. I know how to turn a wrench.

The civic got donated to my brother in law. To be honest, if the termites quit holding hands, it would have fallen apart.

I inherited my wife's Explorer. Just miss the small car thing.

Man, I wish i could give it a happy home.

12/10/2013 at 22:21

Ugh, I really like this car. Everything about it. It looks pretty clean, needs some repair...it is exactly what I'm looking for, but I have too many things going on right now and I may be in a huge cash flow situation pretty soon.

Wish I could help out

Lol, I actually mention LeMons in the ad. Though I'd prefer a less destructive fate for it...

If only it was as terrible as the K-car, it would become a legend.
