How to shop for a Honda Prelude in Tulsa: trim, price and new or used
Honda sells the Prelude new, so a Tulsa buyer can start with a new one at South Pointe Honda, 9124 S Memorial Dr in Tulsa. Choose the trim first, because the trim sets the price. On our lot, the inspection, reconditioning and certification costs for a used Honda are included in the advertised price rather than charged separately.
Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Tulsa. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.
How do you compare Honda Prelude trims before you visit a Tulsa dealer?
Honda lists the 2026 Prelude at a starting MSRP of $42,000 for its lowest-priced trim, and that is the number to start from. The Prelude seats four. Honda’s published 2026 specifications are the figures to compare when you set your budget against the car you want.
Start with the trim, then check the price. Honda sets one starting MSRP for the lowest-priced Prelude trim, so every step up from that figure is a choice you make on purpose. Write down the trim you want before you visit, so the price talk stays on the car you picked.
What will a Honda Prelude cost in Tulsa with Oklahoma taxes and fees?
Honda publishes a starting MSRP of $42,000 for the 2026 Prelude. Oklahoma adds its own vehicle excise tax, sales tax and title and transfer fees on top of that figure. Price your trim from its MSRP, then add the state’s charges as the state sets them.
Oklahoma taxes a new vehicle purchase mainly through a motor vehicle excise tax. Under 68 O.S. Section 2103, that tax is three and one-fourth percent (3.25%) of the value of a new vehicle. On top of it, 68 O.S. Section 1355(2) sets a sales tax of one and twenty-five-hundredths percent (1.25%) of the price, figured on the difference between the trade-in’s value and the sales price where there is a trade-in.
Oklahoma Statutes, Title 68, Sections 2103 and 1355(2) (Oklahoma State Courts Network) (2026)
Service Oklahoma adds the title and transfer fees when a vehicle changes hands. Its Vehicle Title Fee is $11.00, and its Transfer Fee is $17.00. Service Oklahoma also charges a $1.50 Insurance Fee and a $4.00 VIN Inspection Fee. Add these to your total before you compare an offer.

A worked example makes the math concrete. Every figure below is hypothetical. Say, hypothetically, a new Prelude sells at its $42,000 MSRP with no trade-in. The excise tax at 3.25% comes to $1,365. The sales tax at 1.25% comes to $525. The title and transfer fees come to $28. Add the $1.50 insurance fee and the $4.00 VIN inspection fee, and the state charges come to $1,923.50 on top of the price.
What changes if you buy a used or certified Honda instead of a new Prelude?
Buying used changes the tax math, and it changes the warranty. Our used and certified pre-owned inventory includes a downloadable inspection report for all HondaTrue vehicles, and the inspection, reconditioning and certification costs are included in the advertised price, not charged separately.
Under the HondaTrue program, a certified pre-owned Honda carries a limited powertrain warranty of 7 years or 100,000 total odometer miles from its original in-service date, whichever comes first. Certified vehicles also carry a non-powertrain warranty. Our CPO footnotes describe a 3-day exchange policy, so you can exchange a purchased CPO vehicle for another HondaTrue Certified or HondaTrue Used vehicle in our inventory, within 300 miles over the purchase mileage.
A new 2026 Prelude carries a basic warranty of 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Its corrosion warranty runs 5 years with no mileage limit.
