How much would you pay for a 1997 Honda Prelude?

I am a honda fan myself and the reason I like them so much is because the price drops after 100,000 miles but the cars are good for much more. It may be worth 7500 tops (auto trader has them from 500-12,000 depending on aftermarket work etc.), but it should be worth it to you, to keep it. Put some wheels on it and it could feel like a new car to you. I think that you should sell a car before 100,000 miles and buy cars that have a few years in them before they get to that point. Or buy one with over 100,000 for cheap and use it as a commuter car, just don't put too much $ in to it. As far as it being rare, you may want to hang on to it for 15 more years to get any real money out of it. Cars are the worst investment you can make, as long as you look at it as a cost you must incur to get from place to place and NOT AN INVESTMENT. You should be very pleased with the prelude.

$3000.00 tops if the car is well taken care off. But I suggest you check Kelly Blue Book and go from there. Good Luck.

i was going to pay 8k for a 2001 black loaded with 97k on it then i bought an 02 altima

Go to Kelley Blue Book -

www.kbb.com

Put in all the criteria and it will give you what the market value of your car is.

You can get more than KBB because lots of people are want good gas milage cars, at least $3500

1000-2000, depending on how clean the car is, and how well it runs.

More than 2000 is too much.

3,000 tops i would try to get you to 2,500....
