MINTY Prelude?

 

[10sec]

Too many miles for the preludes, the h motors aren't enticing over 120-130k. It would be much more beneficial to find one with a bad motor and swap in a $900 h23. Mine was from Florida (no rust of course) and it had a 40,000 mile mint h23 in it that didn't burn oil. Most b series motors are happy for 200,000-250,000 miles, but h motors at 150,000 miles are getting tired. The cylinder wall lining eats up the piston rings and they start burning oil. It's really hard to find a decent Honda these days.

The wagon is actually really nice, but I would make him fix the ac before I bought it, and I wouldn't pay more than $3000. Nice car though, would make a killer DD/winter car.

my mom had a stock 89 red wagon like that but it was a fuckin POS. Burned oil but at 230k+ stiill ran decent. I've seen a couple nice ones just like OP and they are enticing. I'd rock that red wagon hard.

Yea those D-series motors will burn quite a bit of oil past 150,000 miles, BUT they will run forever. Just have to keep an eye on the oil, like any Honda. They use this FRM (fiber reinforced metal) shit and it eats up the piston rings, thus causing oil burn. Honda owners are very much ok with this. My Hondas don't burn oil with normal use but at the track it's a different story. My buddies old ITR went though 1/2qt of oil per 20-30min session. It's the nature of the beast.

hmmm its local, I mite have to go pick it up and buy it right from under him

 

[10sec]

There was a kswapped (220hp) AWD wagon on there recently. It was around 9k, but holy shit would that be the craziest DD ever. Mid/low 13sec car all day long with high 20 low 30mpg.

 

[RICH17]

Ok that first one is pretty bad ass!

 

[Mook]

I'm actually really tempted to get the wagon

 

[Bru]

My mom had one with 230k miles. I had so much duct tape, exhaust tape, hangers and epoxy holding that $400 POS together.

 

[SRT41320]

MOOK get the wagon... have Bob build a turbo kit for it and

 

[daturbosix]

[SRT41320]

[daturbosix]

That's not a sub 1000 dollar car?

 

[daturbosix]

not the ones in post #1

 

[Euro]

A sub $1,000 Honda is going to have 300k+ on it, rust holes that make the interior and trunk take in unexpected daylight, and be missing 1 whole wheel+tire

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

That wagon is good.

wagon is dope

 

[daturbosix]

wagon is too expensive, for like 800 bucks, yes it would be dope.

 

[Turk]

If I'm reading it right, the wagon's motor only has 15,000 miles on it. Thing looks minty. I hate wagons, but that car is really different. I wouldn't mind driving it around.

So you say mook should get a real beater under 1k, then you post a car that is 1500 that needs a motor.
