trade my bike for a Prelude?
someone offered a trade of a 2000 Honda Prelude for my '03 Ninja.
The prelude has 192k on body 80k on second motor.... and its automatic. thats the only thing holding me back currently a bit.
The car is black like which i like, its already lowered, has a sunroof.
It also has altezza taillights which i dont want so the stock lights would have to be part of the deal.
I already found a front bumper and wing i'd put on it. This would be my daily driver car since my denali will be sold this week most likely.
Anyways, what do you guys think??.... and no.. i wouldnt be a ricer. it would be done very clean.
oh yeah KBB value for private party with 192k and fair condition is like 5600....

i bought it in 2003 new.. and only put 3600 miles on it. getting deployed in a few months and no time to ride it. a car is more practical.

I was going for why don't you want it anymore, I guess that kinda answers it. If your set on getting ride of it for a car, then that trade above seems to be a good fit in your plan.

i wouldnt do it unless i knew the person who owned the card and the person who did the work. you dont know if it was well taken care of and with that many miles on the body i wouldnt trust it...

plus once my denali is gone, i wont really have a 4 seater anymore.
i'll only have:
saturn SKY(roadster)
Camaro SS(6 point cage now)
Dodge ram(reg. cab, not on the road)
Camaro Iroc Z(not roadworthy)
Corvette(project)
and to give an idea... this is similar to how id finish the prelude off...

No! My brother has a 99 Prelude and previously a 90. He's at 96K miles on this one with the automatic and no way it's worth that money. The Prelude is geared like a sports car and revs over 3200 rpm's at 70-75 mph so gas mileage sucks too. I wouldn't do it.

If you do it exactly like that car in the pic then yes, if you plan on doing it different keep the bike.

if you do decide to do the trade ask for money with the car. your bike is worth more than a car that has 200k (even if it has a 2nd motor). id say 2k and the car for your bike.

Probably your best bet. You can park the $ somewhere to compound intrest/build on itself so you will have even more money when you get back from overseas.

a) you will regret getting rid of the bike.
b) you will regret getting rid of the bike.
c) you will regret getting rid of the bike.
d) i wouldn't do it because i know what POSs the preludes are. it was honduh's half-hearted attempt to fill the gap between the basement and the NSX. if you want a project, and you don't mind getting all of your parts from japan (overnighted, if need be) then go for it. did i mention that you will regret getting rid of the bike?
