Hey guys, here's another story of buying low and selling high, but I was really surprised with this one, I didn't think I'd enjoy it quite so much. I want one of these again, if only for the overly 90s feel.

Having the experience at one point in my life of actually living in NJ, I can say this: I will NEVER buy a used car from there. I looked a couple of times while I was there and it seemed EVERYTHING I looked at was in similar shape to the car you show here, but at premium prices.

Anyway, kudos to you for fixing it up!

Prelude love! Glad you saved it, even though it was a 4th gen....

And if theres any honda to make money off of, its a prelude and ek/eg hatches, so you did good.

You should have kept it for a little while though. Could have come with us to the tristate prelude meet in NY this may.

Actually, I wish that I had sold it in PA, the guy that I picked up my parts from said they can fetch around $5k in good condition, which is more than double what I sold it for. I'm not greedy, and I knew the guy I sold it to would take care of it (He had an H22 Prelude). I didn't know there were prelude meets. I may stop by anyway. :)

You're not kidding. I jumped on this as soon as I saw it and got it the next day, otherwise someone would have snatched it up right away.

Yep. Preludes in good condition and mechanically in shape, arent cheap. Hence why not every "home boy in the hood" has a prelude. They have civics for a reason.

All 5th gens are H22 preludes. And all but 1 4th gen came with H22/23's.

Here are the meet details. tell that guy you sold the lude to, to bring you and his lude to the meet! https://www.facebook.com/events/7581002…
