    Caveat Emptor!

1997 NSX-T, Yellow/Black, 6-Spd, 80K, $39800

Many more expensive cars are leased by the first owner. Right now you can get into a 2001 NSX for $650 or so per month.

With an 80K mile car, you may see several owners. On a carfax for a car that was leased as new, you can often see several auctions after the lease is up. Most leasing companies don't deal with high-end cars, so they end up on the auction block.

Many NSX's that are traded-in will also end up at Auction, unless they are low mile and go to an Acura dealer. A Lexus dealer isn't going to mess with a 2 year old NSX that's worth more than most of their new cars.

In other words, I don't think the lease is necessarily a red flag.
 
Carfax isn't any sort of "final word" source either. The guy posted his number in the add; personally, I'd suggest just calling him and discussing the car's history rather than fishing for hypotheticals on the thread...
