Tell me about the 2.3l Prelude

LizardKing · 30 Mar 2008 at 21:37

Im looking at getting the above car, anything i should look out for? Specifically servicing as google is failing me

Its a 94 L reg, manual, 4ws version.
Or is it worth waiting to find a decent 2.2vtec model? bearing in mind the vtec is 1/3 more on insurance and more than twice the power of my current car.
Thanks

I probably would get a 2.2, but all the ones ive seen have been sky high millage or looks like the owner had shares in Halfords.
But this 2.3 one looks reasonably clean and has a decent price.

Wow didn't think the 2.3 would be that bad, bearing in mind i would be coming from a 1.6 fiesta! I've been looking at preludes now for 3 months and its getting harder by the day

Unfortunately swapping insurance co is out of the question till june/july. Will ring them tomorrow and get a quote on how much it would be to change for a 2.2.

I assume your from Milton Keynes as your location mentions roundabouts, I would offer to take you out for a spin but Im only ever in Milton Keynes with the Golf

Correct

Good news the 2.3 was a no goer

, it wasn't the best kept/documented example! I dont mind the miles as long as its documented!
Back to the search, insurance is a bit of a killer so may have to wait till my renewal any how

thanks for all the advise!
I think i've now read the prelude forum from cover to cover now!
