He said this would cost around $2000 with labor to do. Is he right on this? I'd be willing to spend up to $1000 to get this car ready to handle the winter, but I can't afford any more. Is it worth it for me, or should I look for something else then? Heres a couple pics of the actual car. Also, is this a good price to pay for the car, or should I try and go lower? Thanks!!

We're falling fast.
I used to be scared, denying who I was

the rims wont get harmed your not going through rocks.. just slosh and salt.. and the front spoiler is the only thing i would every worry about.. but even then unless your plowing more than 3 inches of snow you dont need to worry about anything

however if i may say.. .7000 dollars for that?? thats bullshit.. unless it has a premium warrenty i would definately not..

Haha just kidding. I don't see why not. Go for it.

Northern MN winters can get pretty brutal, and it's not like I'll be out driving after a foot blizzard but if it starts to snow here for an hour or two it can accumulate to 3 inches worth. I'm going to college this year and on a tight budget after I buy a car, so I want something that'll last me a few years that I won't have to spend much on besides normal maintnence.

Will possibly need different tires if they have summer tires on them.

Body kit and ride height should be fine. Only if you actually drive unplowed roads would you need to worry, and if thats the case a truck would work better for you.

The cold air intake won't need to be removed.

Your friend is an idiot, and if you don't know much about cars then pass on this. Seriously

$7,000?
They are out of their mind. I wouldn't pay that much for a car that's almost 10 yrs old.
It's not worth the money and time to get it snow-ready either.

Also, for the maker of the thread.. if you get this, make sure you get a set of cheap wheels (steel even) with winter tires on them.. this will be fine in the winter even with the body kit. There's far lower cars that are used in snow (Volvo, BMW, Chevy Corvettes.. Tampons, I mean tempos.. you name it.)

check out tirerack.com for cheap package pricing on winter wheel/tire kits.

your mom has snow tires.

If you can afford i would go for it.

buy the car how it is, and tell the owner to go fuck him self 2k for shit you can get from your local junkyard for next to nothing.

So basically i would say is, go to a junkyard get some cheap tires that will last you the winter and get your self a cold intake(which isn't expensive) and you will be set for the winter, just be careful for unplowed roads though.

BTW what prelude model is this?
