Hello all this is my first post. I just joined a few mins ago. Looking for a pre-owned NSX and I test drove this one today at Global here in Houston. I was hoping if any of you had any more info on this car. I just pm'ed MisterNSX since he was the original owner, also mentioned that the person he sold it to had been in a wreck.
The car drove pretty decent, except the eps being non-existent. I would be pretty OK with that. I intend to get an NSX as a weekend warrior and not for daily usage or too much freeway driving. Just inside the loop in Houston in the midtown/downtown area. Now the EPS does give me some parking probs but that is not a big deal as there's a lot of ample parking in Texas.
The lambo doors are gone and I was told that Global repainted it. The doors did not have any problems, the power window was painfully slow but nothing a new motor cannot fix. Also there was a slight noise from the front of a metal clinging whenever I changed gears. The carfax looks good with no notice of a rollback on mileage. Looks like the timing belt was replaced right under 29K miles.
Does anyone know of a GREAT place where I can take it to get it checked out here in Houston? I am willing to pay whatever the charge is. I did call an Acura dealer and they quoted me $110/- for the checkup - but I don't know if they have an Acura specialist inhouse. Also anyone here in the Houston area willing to help me out by going with me? I would owe you one! Global said that they would let it go for 25K and that the car had been on the lot for 200 plus days.
I am not looking to make any major changes - I have spent hours on the forum looking at reviews and posts. Looks like EPS addition would be expensive and not worth it. Also an aftermarket steering around 320-350mm would do better. Also I LOVE the drop and wheels on ryan1926 and I would love to steal/borrow that look
The NSX stole my heart when I was young and has always been one of my dream cars. I just recenytly sold my 99 SLK230 and my daily driver is an 06 Lexus IS250 silver/black.
