View Full Version : Prelude mileage.... Prelude mileage.... MidNiteMysT 05-10-2002, 04:56 PM -MysT THE4TH 05-10-2002, 11:46 PM up in la they have a 92 prelude with one million miles on it.. no kidding, original parts and everything.. so don't worry about the miles.. seriously , it's how ya drive it.. be good to it and it'll be good to you MidNiteMysT 05-11-2002, 12:24 PM what if i push it hard? im expecting to push it hard a few times but mostly im gonna drive nice. since im modifying it, i expect to push hard. what can i do to make it run good again. can i rebuild it? how much would that cost? with all these miles on it, my previous owner might have pushed it hard. THE4TH 05-12-2002, 01:59 AM if your that worried about it.. then get the car, and save a bit drop a new engine in it with low miles then mod it to hell... MidNiteMysT 05-12-2002, 04:15 AM i dont know about putting in a new engine...... first of all, its expensive and i dont plan to do serious racing since im just getting my license. second, i dont want to have future problems with it and third of all, i dont have connections that would do a good swap for me, i need a good mechanic for that. i guess my car will be fine, i just wont push it hard for no reason. how much would it cost to rebuild the engine? and how much would it cost to put in a new better engine with instalation and everything done? THE4TH 06-22-2002, 05:46 PM did ya get the car... nice ride btw.... MidNiteMysT 06-22-2002, 06:25 PM nope, i didnt get it :( i found a guy selling a volkswagen 1990 corrado so i think im just gonna get that. my dad went and saw the car already. i tried calling him again so we can go back and check it out and then if i checks out, we are gonna buy it on the spot. but this guy wont answer his phone and wont respond to my email. i dont know what to do, we left a message but it doesnt seem like hes trying to call us back. i wanna get the car but if he doesnt respond, what am i supposed to do? THE4TH 07-07-2002, 02:33 AM i have to admit i hate vw's and i wish you grabbed the lude.. but from your list it sounds like a nice ride.. so i'm not gonna clown... enjoy the ride.. MidNiteMysT 07-07-2002, 02:38 AM i actually ended up getting the car. i like it. why dont u like vw? the guy actually called me back like 2 days later after that post. i wish i got the lude too but it was in such bad condition, that it wasnt worth buying. im planning to get a prelude for my second car cuz this vw is just a first car, something to learn on. i dont know though, im gonna have this car for like 2 years so i might change my mind on what car i want. but i do want a prelude. gonna be pretty old in 2 years though... THE4TH 07-07-2002, 02:41 AM yeah i just don't like vw's... everything is in the wrong place and everyone i know always had problems with it... i don't like the looks.. and 4 out of the 5 girliest cars are vw's.. but anyway goodluck with it.. MidNiteMysT 07-07-2002, 04:05 AM i actually wanted a civic hatchback for my first car but my dad found the corrado so he decided to get it. its a nice car and isnt girlie. if u saw pics, i think you would agree. i know they have many problems and expensive to fix and stuff like that but its only a first car. corrado pics (http://www.corrado666.com) THE4TH 07-09-2002, 04:46 AM right on man .. like i said good luck with it.. i'm sure it's a great car.. just not my cup of tea.. MidNiteMysT 10-14-2002, 01:03 PM well guess what? the corrado was sold and i got my 4th gen 1995 white prelude si that i wanted all along!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D THE4TH 10-14-2002, 11:19 PM sweeet.... i love the 95's.. i had a 99 and i loved it, but i really like the older style.. happy modding :D Related Links Participate in thousands of discussions at AutomotiveForums.com!
