Quite the conundrum; A pristine example of a car NOT for sale in a showroom full of cars that are.
Brand new 2005 Black/Black NSX at Marin Acura

My E63 AMG came from Beverly Hills Mercedes and they drilled it right into the front bumper. Four holes.
Most of the new Acuras are like that. The front bumpers have dimples that you drill into to hold the top of the bracket.
I saw this car back in 2006 when I bought my RSX from Marin Acura. I'm both surprised and pleased to hear the car is still there!
and 14 oil changes, 3 trans oil changes, 2 radiator coolant changes, spark plugs, fuel filter, brake fluid X3 and a good hellaflushing. That last one was not my idea. "Sittn on a tolet"
My honest mechanical opinion, most likey not. I doubt theres enough tension to stretch that belt while setting there. Those belts are incredibly strong. I'm doubting the car would need anything, except a battery.
I agree... even the hoses look brand new. This car can be driven "as new."
Hey HS you could throw some photos up for us pilgrims in "fly-over country." :biggrin: :wink: :redface:
I don't know why you guys care how the car is maintained - its not for sale and he does own a dealership so I'm sure he has the resource to maintain it properly. Dust never hurt anyone. If I owned a dealership I would also show it off, but I would definitely rope it off for sure. Great way to get people to "talk" about the old and upcoming new car!
People who have money don't really give a rats us about how we think anyways, a big reason why they are rich probably!
But I'm glad he is showing it off and *gasp, look we are talking about it here!
P.S. I have my 2009 GPW s2000 (heavily modded) listed for $52k on s2ki right now and tons of haters but guess what, it draws TONS OF VIEWS and people are talking about it so I guess my plan is working
I'm sure this black NSX owner will sell at the right price but I agree it's worth way more than $100k, bet he will take $150k for the car?

That's quite reasonable if you have an annual inflation rate of 7%.
I was half kidding of course (if only because the '05 timing belt service is, I believe, 9 years/90K miles, which gives another two years on the subject car), however, if Honda recommends changing the belt based on the lesser of time or miles, and the time has expired, it wouldn't matter if the car were driven 5 miles, 500 miles, or 50,000 miles, it's time to change the belt. The compounds that make up the belt have a finite shelf life whether they are moving or not, which is why the service interval on the belt has an age component as well as a mileage component. Does it really need to be changed? Where's Nostradamus when you need him? Personally if I were dropping coin on that car to drive, I would not take any chances.

Wasn't referring to the front bumper license plate holes, but the holes that some dealers put into the trunklid, rear bumper, etc, to affix their dealer nameplates.
I was in the area today and so I popped in for a look. When I first walked into the showroom, there was an unattended small child sitting in the passenger seat.
I spoke with the GM and he told me the owner never drives it, it has all original fluids and is NOT maintained other than keeping the battery charged. The battery was dead or disconnected today.
It is immaculate other than the paw prints. I asked the GM why they don't rope it off and he told me they want to "keep it friendly".

Keep it friendly?! F*** that! Kids will be all over it and damage it real quick too. There's not another one like this anywhere!
I thought I saw one of the sales guys heating up some top ramen in it
I was thinking the same thing!
Isn't here supposed to be a plaque on the engine denoting the number? I thought this is unique to 2005 NSXs.
They probably lost it after jump starting it 100X.
This showroom is full of ugly cars around the beauty
For GOD sake, someone take that front plate OFF! Hideous.
