1985 Honda Prelude review from North America
"A bargin with a lot of problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well I bought this car recently and the seats were in very poor shape. I went and bought seat cover. Paint is fading bad. The power steering has a major leak.
General comments?
I bought this car in poor shape for 600$. which wasn't bad it still ran fine. then bout week later alternator fell out the bottom of the car, clutch went out, and power steering was gone. But over all its always made me home.
