2002 Acura NSX for sale; Imola Orange, almost 34,000 miles, Price: $52,000,
Introduction
I am the original owner. I never park the car in the sun, and I have always pampered the car. No speeding, No burning rubber. No popping clutches. The car is 100% stock. It has had a rather boring life. I purchased it late in 2002 from the Acura dealer in Alhambra, CA because it was orange and I wanted an orange car.
Color: Imola orange, with orange leather interior. 1 of only 8 of this combination for 2002, and I think only 1 of 24 ever made in this combination, since the first year of the NSX facelift. It was also the first year for Imola orange in the United States. I understand the color was already popular in Japan. Because orange is so uncommon, seldom do onlookers recognize the mark. Usually people think it is either a Ferrari or some yet to be introduced Corvette.
Conditon: The car is in excellent shape. I am the only one to ever wash and wax the car, and I treat the rubber, door seals, and all the black plastic parts each weekend,. I only park in the shade. Sun is probably the worst enemy of a car in Los Angeles, and I take great care to baby this car. The 2 rear Bridgestone Potenza S-03 tires are almost bald. The 2 front have almost no wear, and were put on 12,000 miles ago at the same time as the rears. The car has stock wheel alignment specs. If I were to keep it I would certainly opt for something more fuel and rubber efficient. Currently the car gets 22 mpg combined freeway and city driving.
There is a small dime size area of wear on the driver side seat where I get in. also a few small paint dings, and minor wear to the front spoiler. Finally, there is on the driver side behind the door a small 3” long indentation in the aluminum body where someone’s bumper must have contacted the car at some point. But it is small, and doesn’t affect the paint. No wrecks, not even minor ones except the bumper incident. The Carfax report will show up clean.
Maintenance: Because I baby it so, the car is like new mechanically. I read where some owners need to replace clutches and even transmission after only 20,000 miles, but not here. The car recently had its 30,000 mile maintenance done by an enthusiast/mechanic at the local Honda dealer. Also I had to pay to replace an oxygen sensor that made the engine light come on. I just got the car smog checked.
Oh yeah; My wife got me an Escort X50 radar detector, and I had it custom installed along with a Shifter XR3 that detects everything. It has sensors front and rear, installed in various cavities. I keep it in the glove compartment, but it is operational.
