Mostly stock, has a fidanza flywheel and OEM clutch with about 15k miles on it, DC headers, comptech intake snorkel, some stereo stuff, Enkei RPF1s with new tires, and black ultra-suede recovered OEM seats.

Here's the damage that totaled it, it's been fixed and has a solid 20k miles on it since the accident, tracks straight (all of the damage was in front of the suspension) and haven't had a single problem relating to it.

I don't have any recent pictures of it since I put it back to stock, but here's a post accident pic, it doesn't have the wing or hood any more and it's back on stock suspension.

22-25K depending on maintenance needs and documented history. Mileage is a tad high. But its the salvage title that hurts. It ain't fair and having the accident pics will help but probably not that much. JMO.

I would said in the range of high teens to low 20k.

That's ridiculous. If a fixed running an driving 95' NSX Targa is worth teens to low 20's... you might as well crash it again and sell it like that.

Wrecked Targas go for 15-25k all day long for parts/rebuild alone. This car is easily worth high 20's to low 30's... on the low side IMHO.
 
I would agree with nsxot1c. The car, if it had a clean title, would still go for somewhere between 33-37K. With the salvage title, the value does take a beating, but 25-30K is still reasonable.

Cool that's about what I had in mind, just wasn't sure if it was grounded in reality or not. :)

I would disagree to a certain extent. I think that the numbers being bantered about range from what one would want to get as a seller versus what one would pay as a buyer.

I wonder how many of the people saying it is worth 30k would buy it for that price........

That sounds awfully optimistic to me. 114K miles is quite a few miles. The mods don't help, either. With a clean title, I'd expect it to go for $29-33K. Deduct $7-9K for the salvage title and that puts it around $20-25K. And that $25K upper limit still sounds optimistic to me.

The other thing to realize is that the salvage title (and to a lesser extent the mods) will drastically cut down on the number of potential buyers, compared with a clean car of similar year and mileage, so no one is going to be knocking down your door to buy it.

Fortunately, you don't have to believe anyone here. If and when you want to sell it, list it for the highest price you think you might get, plus a few grand to give you some negotiating room. Then, when you don't get any offers, you can steadily drop your price a few thou at a time, until someone buys it. Then you'll know how much it's really worth.

Your also asking people who really know these vehicles. NSX Prime is a relatively small community, there are thousands of people out there who would kill to get there hands on an NSX. As they say a sucker born every min. I'm sure if you waited out you could get 30K IMO.
 
the front looks bad ass painted balck like that holy geez makes the car look different but still oem

nice pic
 
I guess my estimate may be a little bit high, but going by what NA2 1997-2001s are going for now with ~75k miles (40-45K), and what the normal difference between NA1 T's and NA2 T's are, I think the price does make sense. Now, the salvage title can diminish value anywhere from 5-10K, so it really does depend on the buyers pool.

A month ago I ran over some debris at freeway speeds and sheared off the part of the case that attaches to the upgraded SOS rear engine mount and busted the passenger side axle.

The rest of the car was checked and is fine.

This was a $12k repair.

State Farm thought it was a total loss since my NSX is 125k~+

Well when Mitchell findings told them that the market value for my NSX in stock form was worth $35k~ (market value here in Silicon Valley - the center of the world) they determined that it was fixable.

How's that for a point of reference?

BTW, that damage doesn't even look like it should have been totaled. It's a lazy adjuster that simply looked at the miles and didn't have much of a point of reference for used NSX value that figured it was a salvage.

That's just NOT true. I'm not saying it's never happened, but your chances of finding someone willing to buy an NSX for thousands more than its market value are about the same as the seller of those $15,000 pristine '97-05 NSX's being for real.

Market Value of a NSX in Silicon Valley - the best place to reside in the world (thanks to jobs, WEATHER, diverse food selection and diverse sub species of humans) always > Chicago and the rest of the world.

Go to the off-topic forum to discuss. That's where snobs who have never been outside California can congregate and try to make each other feel superior in their provincialism. :biggrin:

Sounds like the reasonable consensus is 20 - 25 K, if seller is patient.

The fact that this is a '95 doesn't really affect the value much. A '91 in the same condition and with the same mileage would bring about the same money. The jump in price comes with the '97 NA2. I doubt anyone would pay 33-37 K for a 95 with this mileage even with a clean title. Not when other AP1's with much lower mileage come up frequently with an asking price of 30K or less. And the selling price on those is probably a grand or two under the asking price.

Not true. The '95-96 NSX-T generally goes for $4-6K more than an otherwise-similar '91-94 NSX Coupe. The jump isn't as big as the $6-10K jump to a '97+ 3.2-liter 6-speed over a '95, but it still exists.
 
My condolences to people that are suckered into the slowest NSX - 1995

Looking over my registry of recent ebay completed sales, looks like you could be right, at least to a point. But the data is a bit misleading. It is difficult to find hard sales data (as opposed to asking price) on 95/96 models with over 100K on the clock. I think the price difference between a 91 and a 95 shrinks to near zero as the mileage approaches 100K or more. But I can't find enough examples of each to back up that opinion.

This.

My previous 94 was a salvage, I know. Expect to get $20k for it.
