I bought my car 2 weeks ago with 133,300 miles, and it is already in the shop. I loved everything about this car, and I thought honda's were reliable, but now i'm having second thoughts. I was testing out my car, seeing what this V-tec thing was all about, then the engine light came on. Apparently I scourched a cylider wall, and it made a horrible ticking and rattling sound. The mechanics are telling me that I need a new engine, which i priced at about $6,000 OUCH!, or find a used engine, which is extremely hard in South Dakota. One mechanic told me that to overhaul this engine, it would cost $2500 alone in labor. Preludes are nice, but damn expensive to repair
