1991 Honda Prelude Si Coupe 2-door 2.1l on 2040-cars

US $6,000.00
Year:1991 Mileage:198500
Location:

East Islip, New York, United States

East Islip, New York, United States

 I have owned this car since 1998, over 16 years!  This is the most reliable car I have ever owned and never left me stranded. EVER.  It was my daily driver for the last 15 of the 16 years I have owned it, and I am only selling it as I have 2 young kids now and cannot put the kids in this car, so I now have a 4 door sedan with child seats.

This car was never raced, never modified.  All OEM, stock except for Brembo brakes and a flowmaster header.  I have the original Honda header and will give you with the car.

I have taken meticulous care of this car, from waxing twice a year, to oil changes every 3000 miles, all done myself. 

What's new:

transmission was rebuilt at 194,000 miles, and has been fantastic and like brand new since.  No issues at all.

radiator and all cooling hoses were replaced around 196,000 miles

15" Goodyear Eagle GT tires have less than 2000 miles on them and are fantastic all season tires.  This is my 3rd set of them!

Just passed NYS inspection

Car is super-clean inside and out.  This was my baby for the last 16 years.  No smoke, no pets, no spilled drinks/food, nothing.  Just clean OEM interior and mats (prelude mats were covered with rubber mats so they are MINT)

- I have an extra set of 14" steel wheels & tires with Honda hub caps, if you want them too - free with sale


Things to consider:

- Engine does burn oil.  Anyone that is familiar with the 1991 2.1 engine is aware that Honda used a new material for the cylinder liners, and this leads to oil consumption, but the engines still run fine, and almost forever.  I run thicker 10W40 high mileage oil and Lucas oil for extra protection and reduced consumption.

- The passenger lock does not open with the key, but can be locked/unlocked from the inside.  The key is worn from so many years of use, but the doors do lock, and there is a working alarm.

- Rust in some spots, (typical Honda rust locations) as described and shown in photos

- Yes, there is a salvage title.  There was when I bought the car in 1998.  I believe the carfax said that it was stolen back in 1993 or so, and recovered.  In the 16 years I have had this car, I have not had any issues related to this.

- There is no warranty, of course.  Neither expressed nor implied.  Car will be sold as-is.

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

Pricing for the next-generation 2015 Honda Fit has has been circulating online after a poster going by the username ChrisAP1 on tlxforums.com released the figures. None of these prices include the destination charge, which was not specified (the outgoing model's charge was $790).
According to the leak, the new Fit is being offered in three trim levels - LX, EX and EX-L. A base LX model with a six-speed manual starts at $15,525, with the new CVT running $800 more at $16,325. All cars come standard with air conditioning, cruise control, keyless entry, Bluetooth and LED taillights.
A six-speed EX will run buyers $17,435 or $18,235 for the automatic. Upgrading to this trim nets buyers a power moonroof, a proximity key, paddle shifters on CVT models, Honda's LaneWatch system, fog lights and a 7-inch touchscreen radio. Finally, the EX-L trim is only available with the CVT for $19,800 or with added navigation for $20,800. It adds heated leather seats, a leather shift knob and steering wheel, plus turn signals in the sideview mirrors.

Honda recalls nearly 350k Odyssey minivans over unintended braking

Sun, 03 Nov 2013

A problem reported with the Vehicle Safety Assist System has prompted Honda and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for Odyssey minivans from the 2007 and 2008 model years.
The issue revolves around a combination of parts and software that have been reported to cause the vehicle to brake hard and unexpectedly, without illuminating the brake lights. Imagine driving behind one of these vehicles when the malfunction occurs and you can easily understand how an unexpected rear-end collision could ensue.
Unfortunately, Honda won't be able to fix the problem until next spring, at which point the manufacturer will call in the 344,187 units affected into their local dealership for a fix. In the meantime, Honda will instruct owners on how to avoid the situation. For further details, see the full recall notice below.

Honda and Acura render their future visions for Shanghai

Mon, 08 Apr 2013

With the Shanghai Motor Show coming up later this month, Honda has released a couple of teaser sketches for two concept vehicles that will be making global debuts. Aside from the renderings, there is no information about either the Honda or Acura concept vehicles, but we can tell that both are some sort of utility vehicle, be they of crossover or people-mover variety.
The text for both images indicates that both concepts show future products that will be launched in China, but there is no mention as to what other markets the automaker has planned for these vehicles. In addition to these two concepts, the NSX Concept and 2014 RLX from Acura will make their Chinese debuts, and Honda says it "will display models substantially identical to the mass-production version of the Concept C and Concept S." The Concept C is will be a "middle-class" sedan built for China, and the Concept S, an MPV that will primarily serve China as well.
