I agree w/ L Alpert. I just found (and bought) a '95 Prelude w/ only 36K on
the odometer. Judging from the CarFax report & the overall condition, I'm
confident that's accurate.
As for the blue smoke, you're probably looking at worn rings; possibly
valves. Overfilling the crankcase won't cause that. I have an old Camry
with badly worn valve guides; & I lay down a smokescreen everytime I start
up after sitting for a while; but it goes away in 10-15 seconds. If the
smoke is constant, my guess is rings.

A 95 with 36k...I'd jump all over that, even if I didn't need it.......!
