1991 Honda Prelude Si Coupe 2-door 2.1l on 2040-cars

US $6,000.00
Year:1991 Mileage:198500
Location:

East Islip, New York, United States

East Islip, New York, United States

 I have owned this car since 1998, over 16 years!  This is the most reliable car I have ever owned and never left me stranded. EVER.  It was my daily driver for the last 15 of the 16 years I have owned it, and I am only selling it as I have 2 young kids now and cannot put the kids in this car, so I now have a 4 door sedan with child seats.

This car was never raced, never modified.  All OEM, stock except for Brembo brakes and a flowmaster header.  I have the original Honda header and will give you with the car.

I have taken meticulous care of this car, from waxing twice a year, to oil changes every 3000 miles, all done myself. 

What's new:

transmission was rebuilt at 194,000 miles, and has been fantastic and like brand new since.  No issues at all.

radiator and all cooling hoses were replaced around 196,000 miles

15" Goodyear Eagle GT tires have less than 2000 miles on them and are fantastic all season tires.  This is my 3rd set of them!

Just passed NYS inspection

Car is super-clean inside and out.  This was my baby for the last 16 years.  No smoke, no pets, no spilled drinks/food, nothing.  Just clean OEM interior and mats (prelude mats were covered with rubber mats so they are MINT)

- I have an extra set of 14" steel wheels & tires with Honda hub caps, if you want them too - free with sale


Things to consider:

- Engine does burn oil.  Anyone that is familiar with the 1991 2.1 engine is aware that Honda used a new material for the cylinder liners, and this leads to oil consumption, but the engines still run fine, and almost forever.  I run thicker 10W40 high mileage oil and Lucas oil for extra protection and reduced consumption.

- The passenger lock does not open with the key, but can be locked/unlocked from the inside.  The key is worn from so many years of use, but the doors do lock, and there is a working alarm.

- Rust in some spots, (typical Honda rust locations) as described and shown in photos

- Yes, there is a salvage title.  There was when I bought the car in 1998.  I believe the carfax said that it was stolen back in 1993 or so, and recovered.  In the 16 years I have had this car, I have not had any issues related to this.

- There is no warranty, of course.  Neither expressed nor implied.  Car will be sold as-is.

2015 Honda Fit set for Detroit reveal

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

We've got one more debut confirmed for next month's Detroit Auto Show, as Honda has announced that it will be showing off the 2015 Fit in the Motor City. Honda has released a singular image of the new Fit's rear taillight, above.
From the sole image, we can see that the American-spec Fit will share at least its taillights with the Japanese variant, which we've helpfully included an image of to the right. Now, technically, the blue car to the right is the Fit Hybrid, a car we aren't expecting to see in the US market. But the gallery of images we've included below should give those interested in the car a very good idea of what the new Fit will look like when it hits the auto show stage next month.
As for what will be under hood when it debuts in January, Honda is touting its Earth Dreams Technology engine, which we take to mean some sort of four-cylinder, gas-powered mill. Expect excellent fuel economy from the new car, and according to the Japanese brand, "leading-edge connected car technologies."

Honda Civic poised to get new Earth Dreams engines

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

When Honda executed its emergency refresh of the Civic for 2013, it didn't do any massive powertrain reworking. But that doesn't mean new things aren't already in the works for Honda's compact. According to Automotive News, Honda has confirmed that it will offer the Civic with a new Earth Dreams powerplant sometime in the future, though details on timing and exactly what sort of engine are unclear as of this writing.
The confirmation comes from Honda's executive vice president and regional director for North America, Tetsuo Iwamura, who says that the Earth Dreams engine will come when the Civic is re-engineered or redesigned, not during a refresh. There is also no mention of whether these changes will apply to just the standard Civic, or if the Si and Hybrid models will receive some Dreamy new tech, as well.
The entire Earth Dreams group of technologies encompasses more than just naturally aspirated engines with direct injection. A turbo-diesel engine is also part of this suite, as are new continuously variable transmissions and new gasoline-electric hybrid powerplants. Honda launched its 2.4-liter and 3.5-liter Earth Dreams engines in the redesigned 2013 Accord.

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.
