Bronze on white? Have you no sense of color?
Black on white would be the ultimate puss magnet.

Nah black on white looks amazing together. Bronze meh. I'd laugh at you while you drove by in your honda with rims that cost more than your car. 
If you're going to do it do it right.

You get what you pay for.
I'd assume he paid 2k for it. If it lasts him a year that's all good. Anything before that eh you got screwed.

Oh yeah definitely. A car like that though you KNOW is gonna have some issues coming up sooner than later though and that is gonna be a headache. A car is better than no car though, so congrats on that much man

That's what happens I've boughten my fair share of 2k or less cars. They ALWAYS need work. It comes with the territory.

Actually there is a lot of advice out there that suggests buying a used car with this milage as most of the major maintenance repairs should of been done already. It doesn't help that OP said the car is being made "road worthy" though, sounds like shit wasn't taken care of. 
Congratulations OP, and I wish you good luck.

Honda makes good reliable cars. Never had a prelude but my mom has a 20 something year old accord with over 200000 miles that she has only repaired a few times and the engine not at all. I think black rims look bad so I guess it is just a matter of preference. I always keep stock wheels on my cars.

He probably means by roadworthy that it needs to be inspected or registered or maybe just neds insurance. None of those things necessarily indicate a problem

I love Honda. They do make reliable cars.
But 5 grand for a 98. That bitch better not have a problem for 4 years or you got screwed (actually you already did)

Oh, I'm aware. It can also mean repairs which have been neglected.

Yeah, 5 grand for a 98 with that much mileage on it seems like a rip off. No offense OP.

I can definitely see that. My sisters prelude fuckin fell apart. She replaced just about everything in that car and THEN she sold it cuz she was scared it was gonna fall apart again... I assume that happens to a lot of people.
