This 1 OWNER Prelude is perhaps the nicest Prelude on the market right now. Like with all of our vehicles here, this is a Carfax Certified Buy Back Vehicle. This adult owned Prelude is in AMAZING condition in every aspect for the year and mileage. The previous and ONLY owner took great care of this vehicle both cosmetically and more importantly mechanically. This rare find will come with a VA state inspection to assure that it is in great mechanical condition!!!! This vehcle looks and drives great!!! These Preludes are getting VERY hard to come across specially with low mileage and in this type of condition. This Honda also comes with the factory floor mats, ALL books/manuals, ALL KEYS AND REMOTES !!!!! This Prelude was owned and traded in by a 45-year-old lady who traded it in on a brand new Honda. She used this car as her commuter and most of the miles are due to highway driving. This car is 100% stock with zero modifications. I have driven this car well over 300 miles and it drives LIKE A BRAND NEW car in EVERY MANOR, it drives FLAWLESSLY. YOU WILL NOT FIND A PRELUDE THIS NICE. Exterior ConditionThe exterior of this vehicle is in PRISTINE condition for the year and has been well cared for. The paint is in amazing condition as it has a great shine and smooth finish. ALL Panels on this vehicle are 100% original with ZERO previous paint work and EVERY panel has the factory issues vin plate. The front bumper and hood were protected with a front leather bra for protection so they look great. All headlights and taillights are 100% perfect. The wheels show little wear and the Goodyear tires are BRAND NEW WITH 95% life. I tried to include as many pictures as possible so you can see the true condition of the car.....This car is GORGEOUS in person. This Beauty was absolutely garaged kept!!!!! Interior ConditionThe interior of this vehicle is also in great condition for the year and mileage. The carpets look brand new. The seats look amazing for the year. The rear trunk area is clean with no damage. All dash areas and door panels are very clean. All power components work absolutely perfect included the window regulators and the AC is ICE ICE cold. The photos below will show EVERY part of the interior so you can see for yourself how clean it is. The interior is a 9 out of 10. This was absolutely a NONE SMOKERS vehicle. This Prelude is in great condition in every way, the motor runs great and is very strong and starts up fine with no issues. All driving components work just as they should, the clutch is nice and tight and shifts very smooth, the brakes work great as they were just serviced. The complete drive-train has no issues. As great condition as this car is, IT IS a pre owned car therefore you will find some minor wear from it being driven, both interior and exterior. I would also like to add the AC is ICE cold !!!
