Details

This one-owner 1998 Honda Prelude has 107,615 miles and is powered by a 2.2L inline four-cylinder engine backed by a five-speed manual transmission that sends power to the front wheels. This unmodified example is painted in its original Flamenco Black with matching black cloth upholstery and is equipped with power steering, ABS, cruise control, a moonroof, and AC. The car comes with a clean Carfax that certifies it as a one-owner vehicle with use in Delaware.

This Honda Prelude has been inspected and photographed by third parties and is found to be in good condition. The inspection does note wear on the exterior paint in multiple areas, as well as discoloring in the headlights. Minor scratches and dings can also be seen around the exterior. The interior is also in good condition, with only minor wear on the seats, dash, and door trim. All interior systems operate as they should. The car runs and drives as designed by the factory. Included in the sale are one key, an original window sticker, and an owners manual.

This Honda is being sold through a CLASSIC.COM Pro and is located in Middletown, Delaware.
