2000 Honda Prelude Base, 5 speed, Only 114000 Miles, Rare Cold Climate Package

2000 Honda Prelude Base Description

I am selling my well maintained 2000 Honda Prelude. It has a low 114000miles (183000km). This was my dream car as a youth and I purchased it soon after my 30th birthday; life priorities have changed, and now I must sell it.
I have kept a stock appearance, down to the stock stereo system. Upgrades are subtle, including a leather shift knob from a SH prelude, genuine leather shift boot, genuine leather handbrake cover, and a K&N high flow filter media in the original factory air box.
Engine: Vehicle runs great; it is the best handling vehicle I have ever owned and immensely fun to drive. Regular maintenance done by Honda with records from 2000 to 2012 by previous owner. It is rarely driven as I am provided a company work vehicle. Engine bay is immaculate. It has been completely reliable, I have regularly replaced oil and also elected to change the spark plugs last year.
Exterior:This car has spent its life on the mild climate of the west coast, and is basically rust free. It is also free from sun damage (rubbers and plastics) typical of rust free cars from hotter climates. The rubber trim is in excellent condition. See pictures.
Underbody: Excellent condition, See pictures.
Interior:Excellent condition; I have not seen another prelude with an interior in better condition. Factory heated cloth seats are supportive and look/feel immaculate. Carpet is clean and in excellent condition, the same goes for factory mats. The stock 6 speaker sound system powered by stock head unit with acoustic feedback sounds great. No sun damage. AC blows cold. See pictures.
Ownership history: This prelude was originally purchased by a lady in Vancouver and she drove it until 2012 when she traded it to a Vancouver MINI dealership during a vehicle purchase. I then purchased the vehicle from the same dealership in the summer of 2012.
In summary this is quite a unique vehicle: It has the Canadian cold weather package (heated seats, and heated mirrors) without the downsides of leather, low mileage, manual transmission, and basically rust free, with an immaculate interior. I purchased this car because the interior is immaculate, and the underbody is in excellent condition. My intention was to restore this car to factory "like new" condition, by giving this car a properly done paint job, but I never got around to it, and now my priorities have changed. I have elected not to do any cosmetic work such as a cheap paint job just to sell the car. This car is worthy of a collector, and a proper paint job will make this car perfect in my mind; I will leave this up to the next owner. This is one of the cleanest Preludes you will find.
