I'm in the market for a car needless to say, and it will be a daily driver. Whatever I get, I'll be financing. The options before me are...
1. An 05 or newer Mustang GT, or Charger R/T for around 16-18k with 25-45k miles on them. I know the Charger is a 4 door, but I find them a hair more comfortable than Mustangs.
2. A 91-93 NSX for 20k or under with 110,000-150,000 miles on it.
Financing will be more difficult with the NSX, I'll need to a find a dealer with one(from Autotrader there are several in my price range at the moment from dealers). Not to mention I'll pretty much need to fly to wherever to get one as naturally no dealers anywhere near me has what I need at the price I need at the moment.
Everything I've read about the NSX is very impressive. I read reviews from people with 280k miles on them that still run as if new! On the other hand potential repairs are scary, 2k for a clutch, as much for a timing belt change etc. Funny I haven't read any accounts at all of engine trouble.
Also they say it wears out rear tires every 5k miles!
I find it humourous that some criticize it as being slow at 0-60, which it can do in 4.9-5.2 seconds(faster than 97% of the cars on the road in the U.S. easy). And it would be nice to have a car you never see, unlike the Mustang especially(toss a rock at the road blind folded and your liable to hit a Mustang).
But then a Charger or Mustang V8 is a lot easier and indeed cheaper to get, plus they have cup holders and real trunk space
. So, any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
P.S. Especially after so many miles, is the interior still quiet on these cars?
