Hi all,
Hopefully you won't all shoot me down for being on the lookout for an unmolested vehicle
Ideally I'm looking for a manual 5th gen, 2.2 VTi with 4ws, and have been struggling to find a nice clean example locally. Would also consider equivalent older gens.
I'm based in Edinburgh but willing to travel pretty much anywhere for the right car, so please let me know if you have something that fits.
Thanks,
Tom

Try and get a H22A8 - Later 99 model.

Welcome to LG!!
Preludes are thin on the ground at the moment, very few decent ones so you have to be eagle eyed and look every day

As Nit's said, if your looking for a UK car with 4WS the 99+ H22a8 is the one to get.

Cheers guys. Nice to see another Edinbugger here.
I seem to be developing a mild obsession with the lude hunt, have to check ebay/parkers/pistonheads/gumtree/etc at least once an hour or I get twitchy.

Just been on Pistonheads to check if there were any good looking prelude's for sale and...
.. what the hell, there are like dinosaurs. All good one extinct.

Lucky we kept our ones.

There are a few of us round Edinburgh

Have you had any experience with Ludes before?

Nope, this would be my first one.
I have a spectacularly dull car history (ending with my old Primera which ran itself into the ground last year at 196k). Haven't bothered replacing it until now as I was working away a lot of the time, but always wanted a prelude and they're now finally cheap enough that I can afford one
Test drove one yesterday and really enjoyed it, but the setup seemed pretty dodgy so had to walk away.

Unmolested is always best. There are some right cowboys out there.
