You have to consider some people might not want you taking their car to bits on the driveway as well...

Yes this is true.

The 4WS Prelude is very rare and an icon that most are too dim to understand. Maybe when Acura's PAWS becomes established, people will cotton on.

It is a shame to break a good 'Lude, when they still drive better than most modern rubbish.

PS - I got my first paint bubble on the RH rear wheelarch. That's rather saddening.

The thing is that alot of people are not willing to spend a lot of money on older cars with a low value ! Some being broken to keep others on the road is probably the reason a lot weren't scrapped years ago. If it was an absolute minter I wouldn't consider it.

I sold my last lude for 700 quid on high miles. Yeah i had some stuipd offers of 400 quid and so on but it went in the end.

They only made just over 50,000 5g ludes world wide and theres about 800 2.2vti lude left in the uk (howmayleft.com)

As others have said unless its dead keep it going?

Another thing i dont understand is why people spend 000's on an economical car to save a few quid a week

Just went and put my fingers through the rear inner archs. Very odd considering there spotless on the outside.

It rots from the inside

Yeh usuall you would see signs on the outside before you can put your fingers through it though.
