Yep yep... I belong to that car :smile:
I bought the car about a year ago from Marc Richmond, aka 01blackS4 on the forum. He's since moved on to
bigger and better things with his other NSX...
And yeah, I'm legit and the ad is real; I've met NsXMas (Frank) and a few other people from here in real life. Oh, and Mark Basch has done all of the work on the car in the time I've had it, so he and his wife Jane can vouch for my authenticity... and validity of my money, heh :wink:
I'm looking to sell the car as I rarely drive it, and would like to buy a new house in the coming year and could use the money from it. However, with the overwhelming response I've received about it, and after reading some threads on this forum again (after taking a few months hiatus from car forums,) I'm starting to have second thoughts about selling it, and I'm also wondering if I'm asking too low of a price. I don't know if I want to let it go, and whether I'll regret it down the road :frown:
Anyhow, all that aside, here's the details on the car...
The interior pic was pshopped by another forum member from a post of Marc's sometime back, but I couldn't find the original thread. I thought it might have been
this one due to the broken links and Marc's post, but I'm not sure. I don't have any other pics of the interior, but will try to get some this weekend, weather permitting (been raining here the past couple of days.)
The VIN: JH4NA1150NT000636 -- lucky number 636 off the line I'd guess. If I recall, the car started life in Louisiana, moved to Texas, and ended up here in Phoenix. I remember the Carfax report having an alert/warning on it, but don't remember the details, other than it wasn't anything big. The car hasn't been in any accidents, and has a clean title.
And NSX FoYoAss is right -- they're his old wheels on the car. Well, the rear two at least; I bought new front ones direct from iForged, as one of his was lost in the shipping debacle with Marc, and the one that came through had the wrong offset for the car (needed a spacer,) so I just ordered two proper ones. I still have the wrong offset one lying around, for whatever it's worth.
In the time I've had it, the car's only been at SOS in the parking lot while I was buying a couple of parts. I've never had any work on it done there, as Mark Basch has done all of the work on it that I didn't do on my own.
In terms of condition, the interior is pretty much perfect. The front lip spoiler could definitely use a repaint from rock chips and regular wear and tear, and to make it perfect, the side skirts could use a repaint too, due to the paint thinning in a couple of spots. There's a couple of small oil leaks (oil pan gasket and valve cover gasket,) but other than that it's in perfect mechanical shape. The front tires are fairly new, and the rears are practically brand new (put on a couple of weeks ago) -- they're Falken GR Beta FK-451s in 225/40-18 up front, and 275/30-19 in back. I've done the oil changes on my own using Mobil 1 10w30 and OEM oil filters. All fluids (brake, tranny, diff) were recently flushed by Basch.
