    Details:

    This is a two-owner from new, 41,175-mile 2001 Honda Prelude Type SH finished in Milano Red. This car was sold new at Hansel Honda in Petaluma, CA, and lived in Northern California until we acquired it this month. The first owner was an 80-year old man who kept the car garaged and serviced religiously, and second owner was a Honda enthusiast & collector. It is 100% unmodified and has never been modified. 100% original paint on all metal panels as verified by paint meter. All body VIN tags present. Zero accidents. 100% clean Carfax. 100% clean, free & clear title.

    Flaws:

    Exterior: There are some stone chips & nicks (nothing more than the mileage would suggest), one or two removable dings, and the wheels have some markings & chipping. The VIN tags on the front & rear bumpers are not visible, although we are told this is normal for 5th-generation Preludes.

    Interior: The sunroof button has some bubbling, and the removable carpets could use a steam clean to look perfect. The steering wheel has some wear in the leather. Otherwise no issues.

    Underbody: Being a California car from new, this Prelude is in fantastic condition underneath. It does appear to leak one drop of oil on occasion after a long drive. No other issues to note.

    Maintenance Information:

    This Prelude had regular oil & filter servicing according to Honda's schedule. The Michelin A/S tires are properly sized and date coded 2014 with no issues or signs of cracks. Tire tread is good. The car drives fantastic with zero issues (engine, transmission, clutch, suspension, etc. included). It also has a simple Karr car alarm installed.

    Car comes with the following:

    - Original window sticker.
    - Original owner's manual & ancillaries.
    - All original keys & fobs including red key.
    - 2001 Honda Prelude brochure (2 copies).

    Asking $13,995.

    I bought one of these brand new, exactly like this one. Was one of my all time favorite cars. They don't come up like this very often. GLWS.

    One of my favorite driving cars. Particularly dear to me since I learned how to wrench with these when I was kid, know them inside and out, including inside and out the motor and trans and suspension.

    Had a 93 Si 4WS (four-wheel steering), 97 SH and 01 SH. Sold the 01 with 290k miles on it.

    Great to see the cool Honda's you've been working with.

    Same here! My dream car in high school was a JDM Integra Type R. Championship white exterior with red Recaro racing seats. I wonder what the market is like on something like that? Sorry for getting off topic OP :|

    Love the car. Nice find. It appears to be a US spec car devoid of any dedicated Japanese Domestic Market parts. Did I miss something?

    Thanks for all the comments!

    That's correct, not sure why you'd assume otherwise!

    Sorry if I added to the confusion on calling it JDM ... I always just say that vs. Japanese sports cars, etc..

    This was my high school dream car. A friend of mine ended up getting one and it was a blast to drive. Simple, light and fun. GLWS
