Neo,

This car keeps comming up for sale...!

Yeah I know a little bit about it but can find out it's full history (up till 05/02 anyway), with a phone call...!

You see that car was sold by the same dealer as mine on the Gold Coast in Qld.

The guy bought it for 128K back then and then tried to sell it 6 months later for 149K. My understanding is that he has advertised it for sale every 4-6 months but with price tags which don'y really correspond to true market value, hence why it keeps comming up for sale. I actually think the guy doesn't really want to sell it and was advertising it keep another half happy (I dont know this, I am just hypothesising)

I see someone is holding onto its private plates to sell it with standard plates. Maybe he is serious about selling this time?

Ah. it's probably for sale "at the right price".
So if somebody comes along and wants one urgently, at least he's in the marketplace.

if you called him and said "wanna meet for an NSX drag?", he'd never sell. There's something about multiple NSX's that binds people & cars together.

I've seen it a few times at dealer. Very nice.
The first time I saw it, it had a sold sign on it. That was about 6 mths ago.
$160K I was told it went for.
3-4 weeks or so later I stopped in again and it was back.
2 week ago I was back at the dealer and it's still there.
Talking to a sales rep there, she said they had $110K on it but if anyone offered $100K he'd probably get it.
I hope it does'nt sell, it's a handy place to get my NSX fix.
