that's going to break the bank.
My 1991 Prelude was perhaps the best car I ever owned. No problems.
I could kneel at the front of the car, and reach up and feel oil filter, don't know about the integra engine.
I bought the car with 70,000 miles, sold it with 150,000 miles. The only thing I replaced was cap and plugs/plug wires, the exhaust system, one set of brake pads at all four wheels, one timing belt, and the two oxygen sensors. Did all work myself except for timing belt. Everytime I worked on the car I was completely impressed with the engineering and manufacturing that went into the components of that car.
The suspension was rock solid. Used to get alignments every spring, almost never out of whack, alignment guy said alignment rocks on these cars.
A 5-spd gearbox to die for.
The only real knock on the car was oil consumption. About a quart every 3,000 miles. But plugs never fouled. Also miniscule back seat, but folding down the back seat and I could get a six-foot step ladder in with the trunk closed.
