Prelude BB6 SiR S Spec

Post by **rob quilter** » Tue Jun 24, 2014 8:26 am

What you all also have to remember is that Preludes are worth drokk all in the UK, the rest of the world actually pays quite a bit for them. The US pay £6000+ clean ones can go for £9000! Same story in Austrailia, a basic SiR in Japan privatly will go for at least £2500. There are S Specs on dealer forecourts in Japan for £8000+.

Scene kids in the UK will pay £6500 for an average condition EK9 Type R with 100k on it, why should a mint low mileage S Spec sell for a much lower price?

Rob, how much does it cost to get the car over here on the road (including all the fees, Mot, tax etc etc)

Let's say the car I wanted is in Japan for £2800. By the time I get it on the road here how much will the total be.?
