Question are SI 92 preludes more expensive?

I just looked at this post that one of you guys saing that a 92 SI lude is gonig for like around $5,500 so then I was wondering either I got a good deal for my car or a 95V-tec DOHC lude is not worth that much beause I got mine for $6,900 and it came woth : DC Headers K&N Intake
Muffler, 17"Tenzo R wheels, Field FSC VTEC Controler some amps 12" speaker, it's leather interior, Droped, MSD IGNITION CONTROL/spark plugs and a polished Head gasket.

So I don't know what you guys think?

haha.. polished head gasket (also known as a "PHG" in the enthusiast world) will most likely get you gains upward of 30 HP as long as your wiper blades aren't dull.. bored out timing belt doesn't hurt either..

BTW: I paid 5500 for my lude? too much? I say nay..

Paid $2,000.00 for my 1994 Prelude. It's an "S" and has the SOHC engine, but I still think I got a good deal for it. Have to love it when you have friends that go out and get pregnant and then have to sell off their coupes for sedans...

in general, vtec ludes will / should be more expensive. they're the better of the two cars.

as stated... it depends on the condition/mileage/location of the car, as well as the knowledge of the owner.

it's always a concern to me when a car has a ton of aftermarket products on it, b/c you don't know who put em on, (if they did it right) and how hard the car is beat on.

there was an article i read in motor trend *i think it was motor trend*
and it was about "race ready" cars in the classifieds, and how it turns out to be a horror...

i think the same when i see a car with substantial parts for sale. what will i have to do to get it RIGHT again...
