    Default prelude vs. lancer

    i currently have a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer OZ Trim for sale
    just small stuff done, like boltons, system, tint, rims


    the other day i got a text from a guy wondering if i would trade for a 1999 Prelude with tiptronic transmission, h22 engine, dark tint all around, blacked out tail lights, exhaust, intake, system, black giovanna rims. and small stuff, but the thing is, he said i can keep the wheels and tires off my car and the prelude. he has an extra set. he says he just really needs a 4 door because they are fixing to have a baby.

    is this a straight deal?
    just looking for any inputs

    shit, i'm sure if you tell someone "i'll give you $20 to check out this car" someone is gonna be game.

    the OZ lancer is a good family car. its got decent power and a smooth ride. good for a DD, i wouldn't mod one though. the lude....well, its a lude....i love em. got a really good motor, very comfy feel on the inside(:idb:lol) and well....its a honda.....can be easily modded with a HUGE field for parts.

    yeah i just always liked the eve, but could not afford one, so i bought the cheaper one lol and was going to just work on it, this was before i knew much about cars, then i found out that i made the worst choice, i used up all my money for a sohc lol and so i was going to get rid of it so i could get a cheaper car with more potential and have money to work on it.

    but yeah, i will do that, offer someone $20

    The Prelude looks better and probably performs better, but I wouldn't touch that transmission if I were you. Those auto trannies were quite problematic.

    so i went and test drove it today, it looks really clean, don't really like the rims but they will do, it's a little bit louder than mine and has vtec! so this is definitely a good deal, love it way more than my lancer, going tomorrow to sign the title over.

    Dont know how easy that would be to sell the shell but go ahead. The prelude is def a better car but requires premium gas and gets 17-22mpg. You could get a car with regular gas and more power.

    Everyone I have ever known with a 5th gen has gotten 17city/22hwy on full stock. That has been the only reason I haven't bought one. What have you modded?

    Nothing. all stock except for an intake. I drive my prelude to kentucky every week with 200,000 miles on the car. maybe i just drive like very conservatively.

    does it have like very expensive rims or something because i can get an h22 longblock for 800 bucks. But the I'd say its a good trade and good luck with your prelude. you're gonna love it.

    yeah, they are giovanna 18" rims, looked them up, the cheapest set with tires i found was $1500 and run all the way up to $3000 for just the wheels
