Thankyou nitin ;). No disrespect re, the mileage. Just stating some criteria.

Considering the age of these cars, I want one that is going to last me a very long time.. a keeper. That will also become a bit of a project too, hence looking for one in OE spec.

Yours certainly offers ALOT of inspiration! ;)

Have seen this one for sale. It's been advertised for weeks! Keeps popping up on numerous car sites.

I wouldnt want White either (have very specific requirements)!lol.
It shouts out boy racer. Suspect its also likely to attract alot of (unwanted) attention, parked anywhere too. :|

I'm looking for Silver (looks so sleek on the 5th Gens) or Black (stealthy). :)

You need to figure out what you want in regards to engine, gearbox, and steering. Have a read of this if you havent seen it already: http://www.ludegeneration.co.uk/honda-p ... -t720.html

TBH, I don't think that one looks good in white in the photo's (nowt wrong with the car, I'd say that's about as good as you'll find, just for some reason the white colour doesn't make the car look good in those pics)

BUT, I've seen SirSi's white 5th gen plenty of times in the metal and I think it looks great!

LOL - had a pretty bad evening last night, plus coming into work this morning didn't exactly fill me with happiness, but I have picked up a little reading your comments above. thanks!! :)

Wonder why that White one hasn't sold yet then, considering it has everything going for it !? Perhaps I might just bite the bullet and go see it, then decide.... :)

A few things could be putting people off it; it's at the higher end of what a Prelude costs nowadays, the stated milage is 123K (a fair chunk of that will be in km), JDM cars generally cost more to insure, most people dont know what it is, few people are in the position to own a Lude (low MPG, little space inside etc..).
