Message	But I have to agree with the some of the others that fixing the Prelude is probably your best bet. I have a 97 Accord with 224K miles, doesn't use/leak any fluids, has cold air, and all the power options still work (granted, I've had to replace a switch or two) that I drive everyday. I understand the need for a reliable car, but being familiar with your own car to fix some things will save you tons of money in the long run. Still want to shop around? Try CarMax.com. I bought a 06 Pathfinder from one store about 1.5 yrs ago for the wife. Been happy with it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Conversation between my sister and my wife (shortly before we got married): Wife: "You know, sometimes I think he loves that Z more than he does me." Sister: "He probably does, and as long as you're okay with that, everything will be fine."
