1986 Honda Prelude Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I bought my 1986 Prelude in February of 2003 for $1500 cash. It had 145,000 miles on it. Two days ago (writing in August of 2012), it blew its head gasket right at 199,000 miles. I'm sorry to be junking it, because it was a great car for a long, long time. Averaged around 26 MPG, had good power and handling, and used very little oil or coolant until maybe a year ago. I did have one major repair about two years ago; had to replace the alternator and a few other things. That cost about $900. But other than that, it's only needed maybe $100-200 or so in repairs every year. I took it to Burning Man three times (tip for cargo capacity: take out the passenger seat!) and on a 2000-mile trip three years ago. Worked fine every time. All in all, the best used car I ever owned. I don't think I would buy one now, but in 2003 I got a fantastic bargain.Aug 23, 2012

i like everything about the car apart from the back seats and how hard it is to find parts for, ive taken it to races completely stock and it has done what others would say isnt possible and exceeded my expectations in every way, for an old car it goes really quick ive reached 210km/h on the track so it still has alot of go for a car with over 260,000 kms on the clockFeb 21, 2012
