85 honda prelude, dont have pictures of it yet...
had a bit of an adventure getting it home, had a brake fluid leak, brakes worked long enough to drive around town, but after a half hour on the highway went to brake and nothing... luckily made it out without a scratch on either me or my freind who was in the car, or the car itself
new brake line, and new clutch and it should be a great running car, only 124,000 miles...

Im just not a fan of the prelude series of cars. I do like the later model backend though.
Good deal on the brakes. lol

no, it was just a good deal, and i've been looking for a new car since i totalled my old one (some idiot didnt know how to stop at a stop sign...)
car was 300, 124,000 miles, needed new battery and clutch, didnt know about the brakes, but still not an expensive repair, gets good gas milage, and has a manual, so it was pretty much exactly what i was looking for. had plenty of experience working on cars so i'm not really concerned about the work it does need.

Preludes are nice cars. Good pick.

I hate Japanese cars but have heard some pretty nice things about Preludes. Good job.
