First of all, make sure that this car WAS NOT WRECKED. Everything starts going wrong once a car is wrecked. Also make sure the airbags never went off, because that significantly lowers the car's value. But as long as it wasn't wrecked, and the airbags didn't go off, I would buy it and just keep no airbags in it.
Then again, if I had a 2001 prelude I would take out the airbags. Airbags are not good for people who drive with one hand on top of the wheel, because when they go off it'll shove your hand right through your face, and break your arm. And by saying that I drive with one hand on the top of the wheel, I am in no way saying that I drive aggressively, because I don't. It just gives you better control.

If this car has had a bad AIRBAG module - you better make sure it has not been wrecked ! Were the bags detonated ? If so - I would pass - it has been rapped hard ..Otherwise - call honda and ask about service bulletins - In some states safety system like seat belts are warranted for the life of the car - I think air bags system may also be warranted for at leat 100K miles

I had a 1995 Prelude that I saved for roughly 4 years. i offered it used from the broking with approximately 14k miles on it. when I offered it, it had 125k miles on it. It ran fantastically from day a million different than a small situation with the grasp -- it replaced right into a 5 speed -- that fee little or no to repair. throughout the time I had it, all I did for it replaced into get many times scheduled upkeep, tires and alter the oil many times. i'd surely enormously advise this motor vehicle. constantly reliable, no rattles, no drama and great gasoline mileage. I incredibly have had a Lexus, BMW, Volvo, etc., and the Prelude would desire to fairly stack up nicely against any of them. good success!

AirbagS? As in more than one? Lots. You are looking at around $1,500 per unit, so replacing two would be in excess of $3 grand with everything.

It is very expensive to replace the airbags, you might be able to sign a waiver regarding the airbags, it would be noted on your registration. Contact your state's licensing agency to see if they have this program.

it is not worth it, sooner or later those airbags are going to hurt you if you are in a accident. they may not deploy or something, so my advice is to not buy this car...

you can junkyard it for around 1200 dollars for everything but finding someone to install them may be impossible because of the "liabilty" involved
