I was thinking about selling my 94 Gsr and I guess you can say upgrade to a newer Prelude. I find Ludes pretty cheap on craigslist and I know I can get atleast 3 grand for the GSR low blue book. Has anyone owned a 98 and newer prelude what did you like or dislike about them?
What do you guys think about this car???
- Thread starter ZuM00Si
- Start date
pros:
newer car
probably less miles
slightly bigger car inside and out
bigger motor
cons:
not quite as sporty in the corners
slightly worse gas mileage
i say go for it ... oh and javi imma be in modesto tommorow for a job interview with stanislaus county for the summer ... and you should be able to get 4k or so for the teg unless your miles are mad high or its got other problems, everyone loves 94-95 gsr's cause obd1

more torque.
The Prelude isn't really any faster than the GS-R. But it does have more torque. It'll be easier to drive quickly and require less careful gear selection. Suppose you are coming out of a corner at 2500 rpm in 3rd gear; from experience, I can tell you my GS-R wouldn't be doing s**t for awhile. You can do a little better with a 'lude without shifting down.
I don't think either one is more reliable than the other. It's a Honda. Reliability is not a negative factor.
I personally feel a little more comfortable in the Prelude. Like it's a bit wider. To me the GS-R was more pod racer with leather seats. The Prelude was more personal luxury car.
Neither back seat is usable by any grown ups.
