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?

The only other option i saw was a 2001 IS 300 for $7000. I've driven the prelude before and it handles better than my celica. As for the power its a toss up. My celica has 225 turbo charged and the prelude has 220 stock, but with a turbo could easily hit 260. The IS 300 has some mods done to it and is putting 320hp to the ground, but its more expensive and insurance sucks.
