too many miles for the price.

That is a lot of miles, but you'd have to look real hard to find any 5th gen SH for under 7g's...especially in California.

I'd buy it, but I don't mind overpaying a little for a car I like.

How about this white 2000 Prelude Type SH?

Post expired - no details except for price. But from the pictures it doesn't look like it's worth $5500 more than the other one you posted - especially with that bumper damage.

You're jumping from a $7200 Prelude to one that's almost $13000, so you don't seem to be limited financially. Most 5th gens will be in the same good condition unless the owner really thrashed on the car. You should just figure on spending around $10000 and finding one that you like.

BTW I wouldn't pay $13000 for that car with that bumper damage, there are too many out there that cost less and don't have any damage. It's not like good ones are scarce.

Yeah, and the bumper damage only reflects the driver if you ask me. So always think of that too.

Is it true that, the base will handle the same if you're a good driver and the SH compensates for the drivers ability?
