1997 Honda Prelude Base Coupe 2-door 2.2l on 2040-cars
Homestead, Florida, United States
I'm offering my base model, manual transmission Honda Prelude as a straight auction with no reserve. The car has under 100,000 miles and is in great mechanical shape. I bought the car new and I've been the only owner.The title is clear. I put over 2000 bucks into repairs shortly before I stopped using this car as my daily driver three years ago. I replaced the timing belt, the water pump, the radiator, shocks, and various front axle components. That's the good news. The negatives of the car are that it was involved in several fender benders over the years. It has not been run on a weekly basis for years. And, it has been out in the rain in humid South Florida, so the interior has some moisture damage. I think a good cleaning would make the interior pretty close to new. The car needs a new battery and could probably use new tires.
Because the car definitely needs some work, this is not a good buy for someone looking for something to ride off into the sunset in. However, it will be an amazing deal for any Honda Prelude enthusiast with mechanical aptitude, who can quickly turn this car into a really great machine again. The only item in the car that is not stock is the stereo, which is a JBL cd/usb deck. Let me know if you want to set up an inspection. Buyer must pick up in Miami, FL. This is a great deal. I've procrastinated selling this car because I wanted to get what I thought it was worth, which is north of $4500. But I realize that I don't have the time or energy to clean the car up and make it more presentable. This is a great opportunity for someone with the mechanical aptitude. Bid with confidence. Questions are welcomed. Thanks. |

Honda S2000, Acura RSX recalled over brake boosters
Fri, 14 Jun 2013Honda has announced a recall that affects two of our favorite, dearly departed cars from the brand's portfolio: the S2000 roadster and Acura RSX coupe. A total of 5,239 S2000 models from the 2006 and 2007 model years are affected by this problem, as are 13,113 2006 Acura RSX models.
"A production error may have allowed brake booster components to be produced outside of the original specifications, potentially causing decreased brake assistance over time, which could increase the risk of a crash," American Honda said in a press release. Thus, dealerships will inspect and, if necessary, replace the brake booster setups in these vehicles, free of charge.
No crashes or injuries have been reported in relation to this brake problem. Honda says the problem was discovered during warranty claim analysis.
Honda further expands Takata recall to 340k vehicles in Japan
Thu, May 28 2015Just days ago, Honda announced it would expand its global Takata airbag inflator recall by 4.89 million vehicles globally, though none of those were in the US. Now, the automaker has broadened the safety campaign in Japan by 340,000 units. The company's Japanese expansion includes 80,000 vehicles to replace their driver's side inflators. According to Reuters, these cars were covered under an earlier recall but weren't yet repaired. There are also 260,000 additional automobiles in the country in need of passenger side replacements. A broadened campaign is also coming for the US, but its extent isn't known yet. According to Reuters, Honda submitted the necessary documents to regulators on May 27. However, the automaker has decided to wait for National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to make the official announcement. Takata's exploding inflators are linked to six deaths and many injuries. Research indicates that exposure to moisture causes the part's propellant to ignite too quickly when the airbag is activated and can cause these ruptures. In testing on components taken from recalled vehicles, Takata found hundreds of cases of them bursting.
