Default Buying a car - Honda Prelude

Hi guys, im buying my first car soon and im not really sure about it.
The car is a nice 1997 Honda Prelude that has just gotten a new paintjob(red)
Its as good as new, everything has been overhauled. It has 180 hp.

First of all.
Is it a good car?
Im probably going to do something with the engine since i like to work on cars.
I need something cheap but good.

- Thanks.

97 prelude eh? Then sounds like it should have a variant of the H22 motor. Damn good stuff to build off of. Accord owners like me like to nab those motors and stash them in the accords.

Honda never dissapoints with mileage really and 2.2 liter motors are great imo. I say if you like the test drive and such, take it

Awesome a first car, ya the late 90's Honda Prelude it a good car, like chopper said it most likely has the 2.2L in it; good on gas, I had 2 buds of mine run both the original motor and tranny to over 300K miles before they needed to replace them. So it gets an A++ in reliability imo, and there are all kinds of awesome aftermarket bolt on parts for it, BK, turbos, shift kits, heads, chips, and more. Defiantly let us know if ya get it and if ya start tuning it up.

my bud scott had this setup a full Mugen Exhaust(fyi i think it sounded better with out the cat on it): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm842...eature=related

I talked to the guy im going to buy it from, he told me i could get it for 80.000 NOK (ca. 10000 euros). And he might take my father old piece of crap that he calls a car in change for it (+some money) that would make it 55.000 NOK, (7000 euros or something like that).
