+1 it's all about quality to me. Different periods of the car, NA1/2, Zanardi, froggies vs flip up etc...Suggest no high end professional pictures, rather great quality amateur photo's. siD

Just drive the car on dry days........believe my '96 has never seen rain. :smile::smile::smile:

If that is somewhat of a no stories car and in great shape, the asking price appears reasonable. As for an automatic, can you live with it......if not then I'd suggest getting a 5/6 speed. Not worth the pains of switching cars...not cheap either. Expect resale on an automatic to be less to a...

When your car gets to it's destination, I'm assuming you will be there to watch the off loading right? Make sure the driver does not do the same thing...although unlikely going down the ramp..but could still ride the clutch getting the car off the transporter. Better still drive the car...

He did...just not letting the cat out the bag just yet. :wink::wink:

Tim, Merry Christmas to you mate. Hope you and your family are enjoying the holidays and all the best for 2012....siD

The center console looks stock and maybe the NSX-R came stock from the factory. Do you know this? I'm by no means an expert in NSX-R, Type S etc..

Only one way to find out :wink: A cab at 9 years needs to be opened and enjoyed. As for vinegar, how the bottle is stored will definitely play a part.

Check out the Wiki section of this site. Lots of information. I'd say get the best car within your price range. Pay a little more for a better car. Maintenance records is a deal breaker sometimes. Your rookie questions could be cause for you wearing a flame suit. Well maybe. Read all the...

Agreed. Higher miles and a tracked car are not positives in many minds I suspect......

Re: Determining value.. I may let my Gruppe M 92' go.. Just based on the information, maybe as high as $35,000.

A VIN only does not offer up much information about the car. So unless a primer knows the VIN in my view your SOL in getting feedback. Are you worried someone might buy the car right from under you and is cause to provide so little information? siD

What were your outcomes? You asked for feedback on repair costs. A thank you would be nice...

If there were legitimate documented reasons for the re-paint, and a PPI and Carfax is clean then, in my opinion, $20k is a good deal. If there are maintenance records that show the car is well looked after, and, the TB/WP has been recently done then I'd call $20K more of a steal. These cars...

Congratulations on getting the car of your dream and at anytime of the day :eek::eek: My 1st reaction was 2:00am are you kidding, then came to my senses. Would probably have made the driver breakfast :wink: taken the car for a spin and then slept the rest of the time in the car.

+1 if you have lower standards for a car, the mileage is correct and the car has been brought back to life, then this maybe the car for you. By lower standards I mean Rob's feedback does not bother you. I guess everything can be fixed...hmmm unless its the original oil :frown: Good luck in your...

I live in Northern California and I have heard of Mincomp but have no experience with them. Your car sounds superb. siD

He's a newbie, but we can wait to flame him in person :wink::wink:

Brandonsan, here is the link to where I bought the car back in 2000. They still display it on their website. After all it was once owned by Status Quo frontman Frances Rossi. If I remember correctly, you had an Aussie model right with a big motor in it? http://www.plmini.com/proj_rossi.htm

Visually, it may make you feel like you just got to have it for Hawaii weather, BUT, listen to TURBO2GO. Very wise words....siD

Yes, it's all fair game when buying a car. But if a prime member knowingly beat me to the finish line when on my way to place a deposit or yet still pick up the car over the next weekend, they better have a good flame suit on. If the seller is a primer, they'd need a good flame suit too. I did...

In my opinion, the normal Joe would spend up to $20k on getting this kewl car. Anyone truly interested in an NSX, prime member of not, would pass. just sayin....siD

Congratulations on NSX ownership, I think :rolleyes::rolleyes: Check this link out... http://www.nsxprime.com/wiki/Main_Page. lots of info Your Avatar or lack thereof Says Canada? You there or in California? Where did you buy the car? Did you do a pre-purchase inspection before buying the car...

Exactly why I paid a little more for mine....

If a person is looking for a "T", doesn't want to spend the extra dollars for 6 speed 3.2, like to just cruise with a little less power, and, look just as cool in a NA1 then the 95/96 model year is the most desirable. In laymans terms, its your call on the most desirable. siD
