In my 4 years of ownership, the Prelude has never left me stranded. It always starts right up and is fun/fun to drive. The temperature gauge has never strayed from its low-middle position. My longest trip was 2.5 hours in the CO mountains the day I bought it. Since my ownership it has received a new steering wheel, new tint, new engine and transmission mounts, all new engine oil seals. It drips/burns oil, a 1/2 a quart per 3,000 miles. The A/C compressor is bad. It has some interior noises- but could be mitigated.Power steering fluid leaked out a year ago, it's kind of better with non-assisted steering. I drive it for a half hour on rural highways weekly. It will do 85, but 70 is enough. A new battery within the year, smooth brakes. The previous owner spent $4K on a transmission-rebuild and rims with Pirelli tires. Mostly garaged. All power options work (antenna is missing). 2 smallish rust areas. Car was repainted in 2011- faded in a few areas. Driver's seat was reupholstered, it looks original and isn't compressed. The Check Engine light illuminated after removing the speedometer cable (removal also stopped the odometer). TMU- I'd estimate 193K. It's zippy, it seems to have all of it's original horsepower, turns on and off crisply, no stutters. Lots of records. The main mechanical parts/belts are still available.
