Honda has sold just 969 examples of the Prelude since last year. Despite heavy damage, these Preludes may be repairable, but it’ll be pricey. Honda says it hopes to sell roughly 300 Preludes in the US monthly. The new Honda Prelude has only been in the US market for a few months, and already, there’s a growing number appearing for sale in junkyards after being crash-damaged. Since its introduction in December, Honda has sold 969 examples of the new Prelude in the US, consisting of 174 in December, 216 in January, 299 in February, and 280 in March. In addition to a pair of totaled examples we wrote about last month, we’re now aware of at least five that have been crashed across the country. Read: Someone Crashed Their New Prelude Before Hitting 300 Miles, And They’re Not Alone The first example has been posted online by IAAI and is painted white. It was wrecked with just 417 miles (671 km) on the clock and clearly suffered a substantial hit to the front end. The bumper is missing, one of the headlights is gone, the driver-side fender has been crumpled, and the windshield is smashed. While the listing notes it still runs and drives, repairing it wouldn’t come cheap, particularly as spare parts are probably quite rare at the moment. IAAI A second Prelude has also been listed by IAAI out of its branch in Seattle. This one is painted black, was driven 1,841 miles (2,962 km), and also apparently still runs and drives. It, too, has suffered a significant knock to the front end, with both the bumper and hood crumpled. It’s impossible to know if the driver hit someone else, or something, or if another car rammed into them. Either way, all of the airbags have been deployed, and the car desperately needs some TLC if it’s ever to return to the road. IAAI Copart has also listed a damaged Prelude up for sale, finished in a bright shade of blue. It’s been driven 3,806 miles (6,125 km), and the driver’s side has taken a hefty hit, leaving significant dents. The listing fails to mention whether the car runs and drives, but a look at the dashboard reveals an electric power steering issue. If that’s repaired, and a new quarter panel is fitted, it should be quite straightforward to repair. Copart
