I'm a Prelude 1992 4WS 2.3 L non-VTEC with about 120,000 miles (190,000 km) in Ontario, Canada. Just bough 2 years ago.It is a reliable car, manufacture in Japan. Higher QC (quality control), original part is more reliable than replacement part. However, new Honda replacement part is same quality or even design as original part back in 1992.Fuel consumption is about 20 mpg instead of the spec 22 mpg in city drive.Price depreciation is considerably low.Maintenance cost is about $1,000 on the first year, $600 on second year, and $300 on third year.I derived the maintenance cost from 2 years of repair cost by keeping the car at tip top condition.You may need to repair the components I repaired below:1. Rust at wheel well $6002. Rust at sunroof $6003. 4 brake rotor $200 (high priority)4. Front wheel axis $1005. Replace front axial boot $506. Flush coolant $507. Flush DOT 4 brake fluid $60 (high priority)8. Flush transmission oil $509. Flush engine oil $80 (high priority)10. Flush power steering oil $5011. Refill A/C coolant $60 (high priority)12. Replace transmission shift cable $200 (high priority)13. ABS sensor $300 (high priority or ABS doesn't work)14. Any lights $50 (high priority)15. Overall lubrication $50 (high priority)16. Catalytic converter $10017. Replace rusted exhaust pipe $200 (high priority)18. Muffler $150
