Check oil level at least once per month and keep track of oil consumption Some Prelude burns oil, but very few is that bad to cause the oil light on.

Replying to: shmang (May 15, 2009 12:04 pm) I park my car in my garage and there is no oil on the garage floor, so if it's leaking, it's not obvious. I'll have to mention it to the shop and have them check. I wish I had more time to do myself, but not at this stage in my life - career on the road, young kids, etc. I'm just happy to keep my Prelude! I'm also in the market for new tires. I went to Tire Rack and it said that the Bridgestone Potenza's got the best ratings and those are the ones recommended for this car, so I guess I'll stick with them ($102/tire). The Yokohama S drive came close in the ratings though ($89/tire) |

Replying to: preludefan (May 15, 2009 5:51 pm) As far as tires, it is totally depends on how you drive and your location. But, tirerack gives you very detailed information to help you to choose the right one. Good luck. |

Replying to: preludefan (May 15, 2009 5:51 pm) Do you still have the stock bridgestone potenza tires on your car? I have the Yokohama S drive tires on my car and they are fantastic. Excellent wet & dry adhesion...just make sure you take em off the car before the white stuff starts to fall. Tire racks website is helpful, but their employees are REALLY helpful.. Call them up and see what they say. You said your car has 70K miles on it...have you had the timing belt/water pump/balance shaft belt service done yet? Have you had the spark plugs chaged? |

My neighbor just traded in his 2007 Mazda 3 and got a CPO BMW 328i - It seems there are deals for BMW and MB - As he told me he could of bought the MB C300 instead if the color is right. Sounds interesting... I would do the same thing with my wife's car if she likes the feeling of sporty sedan like BMW, Infiniti. But, no luck yet, I am still working on that.

My best friend loves Infinitis. He just turned in an '07 FX35 Sport lease and his wife's truck is a QX56. He wanted another FX or maybe an M, but the lease dealsare no where near what they were 2 years ago. He walked into an MB dealership to drive an ML & E. He and his wife both LOVED the E350. He picked up a GORGEOUS, brand new, 2009 E350 4Matic with NAV & AMG package for a little more than $11K off sticker. He also got 1.9% financing for 66 months!

Replying to: nyccarguy (May 22, 2009 7:49 pm)  But, since I just got my M45 and is not ready to part with the Prelude, I guess I have to wait for couple of years. But then again, my son will be driving and I can get a sports coupe - something like the 370Z (or what ever is comparable at the time). Until then, I will need to do a good job maintaining my Prelude so I can still drive 2 cars that I enjoy alternatively, which is not too bad.

Replying to: shmang (May 23, 2009 5:28 am) Right now the car to get is a CPO BMW 335i sedan... I've seen people purchasing them for high $20s (2 years old). |
