That's for damn sure, if I can find one in my price range

I think you will, just have to be patient and diligent in searching, especially if you are looking for a 5spd 6th Gen.

5 speed 6th Gen or a 5 speed Prelude...

The 5th Gen Lude's are nice, but the oil leaking issue is probably more headache than it's worth. Just keep that in mind.

Is the oil leaking issue with the distributor, valve cover or what? What should I look for because the one I looked at only had a small valve cover leak and ps leak.

Also your insurance will go up compared to a 6thgen.
I was in the same boat as you, I either wanted a 5mt 6ga, or 5mt prelude. The insurance woman said it would go up another $20/month for just the basic prelude, not even the type sh. But 5mt 6gas are kinda hard to come by, but I eventually found one and just settled with it. It's a lot more fun to drive than the v6.

Yeah man and I am looking for something with better gas milage anyways. I don't really care about the increase on insurance as it will probably be increased already due to me having to claim the accident as uninsured driver :/
