a little to pricey.. but its a good low milage for its yr.. If its a non vtec i wouldnt buy it for that price more likely 3500 or below.. Ask for the maintenance and has it been race before? if it has been race before i wouldnt even grab it for you do no now how mad he runnin that prelude.. over all it will last longer than 50k.. just have to maintain it and ask for the maintenance history.. goodluck findin your first car.. i would look into civic hatches and swap in a motor.. all u have to do is feel the car.. drive it slow and slowly go to the next level.. i know how it feels to be down ohh u cannot handle this and that.. trust me i put them to shame by drivin a supercharge mustang at age 17.. goodluck
