Kelly Blue Book says: private party $2,700. NADA says between $3400 and $5300.

ah yeah I know all that - I figured he was adding in for the mods - 4900 is just asking

Yeah, usually mods don't add a lot of value to the car though. I've seen cars with $20k invested that can only sell for $7k. But I can't answer your question because I don't know much about the preludes.

that doesn't seem like too much of a bad asking price. the only thing about buying a "pimped" car, its like buying a lifted truck, they probably "lifted" it/"pimped it out" for a reason.... too beat on it. I would defeinately take a look at it and try to get an honest background of the car. my friend(preluda92, he is on this site, feel free to PM him) had a 92 Lude with that same mileage and it ran extremely strong. Honda's are great cars. have you heard anyone ever say "damn, my Honda keeps breakin down".

The Prelude is a great car. If I'm not mistaken, the SI has the VTEC H23 motor in it. Plenty of torque and horsepower for a car that size. Can't comment about the price, but I currently have a 1992 Honda Civic and that runs like a top. The car is as dependable as ever.

the prelude "vtec" had the vtec engine. the SI has a 2.3 liter non vtec where as the vtec model had a 2.2 liter vtec motor. the SI still has plenty of power to get ya around though IMO.
