Ok. My first car was a 95 VTECH Honda Prelude and I loved it, but wrecked it. Then I got my 96 Celica ST and have just about finished a $4000 dollar 3sgte engine swap. But I just found a local seller that is selling a 2000 Prelude with 72,000 miles on it for $4000. My dilemma is: Should I sell my newly swapped celica for 6-8 thousand and get the prelude, or keep the celica?

I had bought a two year old Prelude Type SH back in 1999. The car had only 18,000 miles on it. It was the biggest piece of crap I have owned to date. After just one week of owning it the whole bottom end had to be replaced (by Honda) and thereafter the car was in the shop on a monthly basis. I finally sold it back in 2002 with about 42,000 miles on it. The car was junk. I would stick with the Celica if those are your only two options.
