Since April 27, 2002 my Milano Red 2001 Honda Prelude Type SH has gotten me through a lot in our 69,000+ miles together. It survived a right rear suspension rebuild & cracked rim as well as a severed exhaust from a metal plate covering an open manhole. My Prelude survived being parked on the streets of NYC for 2 years without being stolen or side swiped by a city snow plow. It has never left me stranded in any major snow storm. It has taken me from NYC to South Carolina. Westchester, NY to Pittsburgh PA. Westchester, NY to Cape Cod. It takes me to and from work 6 days a week.... My memories with it are mostly good ones. For a good cause I will have to scale back on driving it. My wofe is due with our 1st child in September. The other day while looking at strollers & infant seats, I asked the clerk at the store if I could bring these items out to my car to see if they fit. She asked what kind of car we had and I pointed to my shiny red Prelude. She laughed and then asked if A, we were going to keep that car & B, if we had another car to driven when the baby comes along. Looks like the Prelude will be relegated to commuting duty and we'll be using the wife's 200 Protege ES a lot more at night & on weekends

First I want to say congraulations on your upcoming first child! Yes it does indeed look like you'll be using it more for commuting when the child comes. But hey at least you'll still be driving it  You bought your car late in the model year. I thought I bought mine late in Feb 8th 2002. But you got me beat. The last four of my VIN is 9097. I wonder what is yours. Now you'll have one more joy in life with the baby.

...Hi all, I guess this must be the place. I just bought my first ever Honda, a red 97 Prelude VTEC. So far all I can say is WOW..I had no idea a four cyl could rock this much. This thing looks like a brand new car even though it has 87,000 miles on it. Its nearly flawless for the year and I got it for $6700 bucks. Do you all think I got a good deal on it? What kind of routine maintanience should I be looking for on this car? I cant contain my excitement for this car, and for me a 97 IS a new car. Its a blast to drive. Anyway, nice to meet all you other Prelude owners!!! Rowzman``

Congraulations on your Prelude! Yeah a 97/87k is nothing. This car is a blast to drive. Just take care of it, and it'll take care of you. Oh nyc, my car has a build date of July 01. So your car was built after mine
