Little heads up for anyone who is interested in the NSX. I checked it out today and noticed vin sticker missing on front left fender, door and rear fender. Hood and whole left side on the car has been repainted. Timing belt is original

for 65k!?!? wow. i'm sure you saved the time for quite a few potential buyers.!
the left side must have a story.
No question it has a story. Paint gauge show left front fender has a very high reading.Right rear fender also been removed.You can tell cuz screws/ bolts is striped.
Just to be clear, this is the post for this car, on NSX Prime, correct?

Has to be, identical vin number
if it's only a fender, it's not that bad. any body shop can take it off quickly. but the door and quarter panel...
Yeah that's the car
Can paint gauge be used on aluminum?
Depend on the gauge u have- high end meter can. I use a "postitest dft combo gauge...

So has a carfax been ran? Maybe something will show up with that much work done.
I see ... learned something new today.
Ran auto check- show clean. Carfax and auto check is not bullet proof. Dirty reports only show if there's a pay out by insurance.
I can attest to that. My first NSX was "clean" on both AutoCheck and Carfax, but had over $30k in damage I found out later...
I agree that sometimes just a fender isn't bad. I would be worried about the fact that the seller is presenting it as clean though.
I think he would do better to just be upfront about paint/bodywork. Trying to hid things like this makes him/her seem suspect.

More than just one fender. Every panel on the left side of the car has been replaced . Hood also has been repainted.
Yeah seller should edit his ad and come upfront and disclosed damage. I gone over the car w/him and pointed out "missing vin sticker" and showed him evidence of paint work and suggested he should edit his ad. Sad thing is i asked seller before i made my trip (350 miles one way) if vin stickers are in every panels and he said "YES". LIAR!!!!
that's a f*&king stupid part. you wasted one day.
i can imagine what happend if the whole left side has been replaced. it's nearly salvage title.
FFS @ $65k.
This seller deff cannot be trusted . Less than 30 minutes ago I had a friend of mine send him an email and asked if timing belt been replaced and if car has any paint work and
this is his reply>>>>>

Always nice to know other members are looking out for each other
I know. Its one of those nsx 'intangibles'!!
I met up w/him on sat so he knows now. I asked him to edit his ad and he has not. A friend of mine got in contact w/ him a few hours ago and he still said he has no knowledge of paint work. No knowledge???
