Trade my Civic for a Prelude. Yes or No?

[LatinEM2]

I have always liked the 5th gen Ludes, and now i have the possibility of trading my Civic for one. What do you guys think of this one.

Would you say its a fair straight up trade??

IMO, your civic is way nicer than that prelude. but then again, that prelude already has a nice set-up, so alot of the basic mods are knocked out of the way for you. hard choice, i cant give you a clear answer.

lude looks a bit beat up...
your coupe looks pretty clean by how your sig shows...
idk man...

Doesn't look like there is much wrong with it. Paint might need a touch up, thats all..

 

[LatinEM2]

Yeah the bumpers have some damage. I'll go check it out and test the compression and see whats up. I really llike. I was about to get a Predude before my Civic but it was sold. I will probably keep my rims and steering wheel to get some money and buy new parts for it lol.

I was about to get it Predude.

Whats on your mind? Yea I changed one word.... So what!

Im going to have to say no, I love your Civic man. I definately think its one of the nicest EM2's on this site and basically that Ive seen.
But whatever you decide to do, I hope you stick around and are happy with what youve got :.

IMO that would be stupid, it may have a h22 but your car is worth more, looks x10 better and is in 10x better condition. Downgrade to me, sorry man

a prelude in comparable condition is 1,000,000,000,000,000 times better but your car looks to be in better form, and buying a previously modified car is always sketch

 

[Mr.Dre4meR]

I vote keep the civic. I like it better.

I agree, I don't think I'd ever buy a car that has already been modified.

I like your civic - but it's up to you. Lude looks pretty good though. GL

 

[LowNotSlow]

no. You have no clue as to the quality of the engine rebuild and there's 130k on that pre-modded chassis. Too much sketchy stuff could be hiding that you wouldn't be able to find until later.

 

[toneekay]

i vote to keep the civic

 

[LatinEM2]

Good points guys. I'll think about it some more.

 

[toneekay]

also, if you decide to sell either cars at the dealership or something, the civic will still have the higher value, since its newer, more economy efficient, and _______. (dont have a word for that blank, but wanted to sound "professional") good luck with whatever route you go with though

 

[LatinEM2]

Yeah good point Tonee. Now im leaning to not trading it.

 

[jonathan2006]

id keep the civic, but i like those ludes too
thats a tough choice, but if you trade id be interested in that steering wheel

 

[toneekay]

^yea before i got my civic i was deciding on a predule just like that, did some research and the kbb value on the ludes were almost 3k lesser than our civics.
