    Good traffic lawyer recommendations?

    Shawn, I think you are again going down a slippery slope. The OP is looking for advice/help, and, I'd take the tact of not assuming (as I perceive implied by your comments) his son needs to learn a lesson. As a parent of 21 and 19 year old girls, my position is to mold them, advise them, and...

    What should I do now?

    Turbo, have you considered sending in your complaint to the Better Business Bureau? https://odr.bbb.org/odrweb/public/getstarted.aspx I think they are nationwide and may be able to question the dealer about the issue. Also BBB keeps a record of complaint issues about a business and ultimately...

    1991 in Florida

    Shawn, I think maintenance records or absence thereof will drive your interest and a reasonable price. For a 90,000 mile car, the engine bay and front look very clean, almost like it has been detailed. But looking at the interior passenger and drivers seat, a different story. Ivory seats need...

    Nice wheels man. I'd actually consider trading my Grand National for a car like yours......:biggrin::biggrin:

    91 black/ivory on Ebay JH4NA1156MT003054

    RobD, congrats on a great purchase..like you said, you hit the Jackpot. I too bought a car on e-bay, was in just amazing condition and a 2 owner car. While I didn't get the deal you did, after 18 months of searching, I found the car. Got to be quick on the draw. This thread has been a great...

    NSX or something else?

    1987 Buick Regal Grand National as good as new just like my NSX.

    Ready to join the ranks!

    Bui, best advice is to use the search function and Wiki and read away. Your question has been discussed many times before. As for your price range, right off the bat, a NA2 at $30ish under 70K will be a very hard find. Even hard for a no stories kind of car. An early NA1 is a different story...

    NSX or something else?

    ysoslow, jetpilot3 just about sums it up. It's really down to personal preference. Take me for example, looks are important, so that excludes the Viper and the Vette. Doesn't have to be super fast not cost an arm and a leg to repair. So NSX is the car for me. Now which one to get. Like the...

    Speeding Ticket (Fight or Pay?)

    Shawn: that maybe how things are done in Florida but my experience in California was quite a bit different. The California test I took (state certified test center) was broken down into multiple sections and there were a dozen or so multiple choice questions in each section that you had to pass...

    Don't forget to replace your hoses!

    My '96 has 25,500 miles on it and garage kept for most of its life in California. Probably going to let it ride for a couple of years before changing the hoses, but will change and not let things go for several years. p.s. changed my hoses on the Grand National last year after 22 years and...

    Vin check please!

    Pqbrown, my suggestions to you in your purchase of an NSX is to do a serious deep dive into this site. There is a wealth of information and everyone is very helpful.....my experience is this is a very active site. Prime members can be a tough bunch sometimes (especially if it has be discussed...

    What do most (ex) NSX owners sell their NSXs to get?

    I think your poll so far is quite revealing....the Ferrari is next in line. But, having said that, NSX owners max out at the NSX $$ wise for exotic, and for those who it doesn't they are too smart to fall into the Ferrari money pit. The Ferrari gives the top end $$ NSX guys the ability to own...

    My new plate:

    Ferrari...or fourareeee (4RE). JAP stands for Japanese (major insult word is JAPAN). So it means the NSX is a Japanese Ferrari. Some say, the car was built to put the Ferrari on notice that Acura (Honda) could build cars just as good if not better than Ferrari. Actually I believe it scared the...

    Any information on JH4NA2161VT000322

    Searching prime by VIN gives you details about the car. Suggest calling the seller for additional information. Asking for a Carfax report from another person is not allowed and not supported on this site. Some say, spend the few bucks to get your own. Car looks like an interesting opportunity...

    NSX for $5,800?

    Tim, you can get 100 and 110 octane legally at the pump. The nearest gas station for me is 25 miles away, so not real convenient. So if I go on a cruise, I fill up and have 3X5 gallon jugs in the trunk (usually one, as it's a bit concerning if I get into an accident. Bad enough to damage the car...

    My new plate:

    mk, when I read your plate, my 1st reaction was the use of the slang word "JAP". While not offensive to me it maybe to others who may do nasty things to your car. Just food for thought if/when your in an Asian neighborhood. My .02

    Two Unicorns For Sale...Advise Please.

    As a newbie to this site, you will find a wealth of knowledge from prime members. However, your question is very broad and subject to anger from some primers with less patience than I. Ask more specific questions than "anyone know the story...." You already have some feedback with more to follow...

    bjmills, respectfully disagree. I believe a Carfax is one of many tools to use in purchasing a car. A problem car does not mean it will show up on Carfax. I could have been the victim of purchasing a bad car with a clean Carfax but for the PPI done by a reputable NSX technician and later...

    NSX for $5,800?

    One word in your sentence sums it up "junk". The Buick club boys using 100 octane and racing their cars at the strip do not put any weight in buying octane boost. When I had my '64 Mini Cooper 1071S, octane boost did nothing for performance...now a gallon of a 100 mixed in with the California...

    Wishd4, Your points are very well known and understood on this site, glad for the happy ending. I do agree with tbromley, go PP and look for good records, avoid a dealership where possible. I spent 18 months (not an unusual time frame) looking for a car and seen just about everything. Take your...
