Hi i'm looking for a manual 4th gen prelude with the 2.2 vtec engine. With a budget of around £800. Just wondering what there is for sale, I have searched a few adverts on here already. Seems I have been unlucky and missed a few recent bargains.
Also is there anything in particular to look out for? I've read about wheel arches and sunroofs being problematic. Thanks

Thankyou, I keep checking every few days but they're either autos or out of budget

rusty sunroofs are common - swap with a carbon fibre one or find a better nick replacement if it bothers you or leaks
rear arches are notorious for rust, replacement arches can be purchased though if your happy to spend the £££ to get them replaced - 100% worth it though

Thanks alot for this info, the arches themselves didn't seem too badly priced, I'm guessing it's the work involved that costs money?
The only one of them 3 I would consider is the silver one. Although I'm slightly put off by the fact it's been engine swapped.

People swap the engines all the time. As long as it works and nothing seems affected then I wouldn't worry
