It's a grommet, looks like its wet from where the water on top has run down and crept round, I don't think it's anything to worry about. All in all that's a very clean looking floor.

Found another one, in my favourite colour! Looks like a UK one, are rear wipers not just on JDMs then?

I asked for pics and questioned any rust, got a 4 word reply "its a lovely motor"

And shouldn't the 4ws be activated in those pics?

Is it just my phone or is there a bad colour match on the o/s rear quarter panel of the white one.

Offset on those alloys is horrible! That looks pretty clean man! The 4WS is electronic, so if you angle the fronts with the engine off, the rears won't turn. Whether he did that or not ...

Ask for a video of the dash as he starts it up. Can tell you a lot from what lights never light up, what ones come on and what lights stay on!

No chance, the seller can't even be arsed sending me more pictures.

I hate sellers like that!

They deserve there cars to never sell and rot away! Shame it's always the cars we actually want that they're trying to sell

Might be the colour you want and it's cheap, but worth holding out for a JDM

So it's not a JDM then? Hard to tell the numberplate size from the angle. And aye, thanks for the help...oh well no sale from me

Post by **NafemanNathan** » Wed Jul 04, 2012 1:59 pm

Yeah, not a JDM, there are a few other tell tell signs as well

Like the front numberplate holder?

The rear number plate is UK sized, not JDM

I think what you have to bear in mind is that even the youngest Preludes are 13 years old, its hard to find one that is cosmetically perfect. I bought my 5th gen with 60k on the clock, 2 previous owners and it still had stone chips and a pin dent on the bonnet.

I think you need to concentrate on getting a rust free one, most will have the odd ding or bumper scrape, but these things are an easy fix.
