Yep, the silver one is (edit: was??
) my car!
It was a really difficult decision to sell. I was actually hoping that I wouldn't get full asking price on the car, so I could keep it and tell my wife I at least tried, haha.
Ultimately, I decided to sell because I drove her less than 1500 miles in the 1.5 years I had her. The miles I did drive was spent sitting in stop and go commute traffic, with me worrying about a soccer mom in an SUV rear ending me. I bought a C7 stingray to commute in (I don't feel bad about putting miles on it, it's just a chevy
), and I'm hoping to see the NSX go to a good home where she'll be taken care of and driven, not neglected in a garage and driven once or twice a month like it would be under my ownership.
Whoever buys the car is getting a solid NSX though, with all the maintenance done and a few other preventative items thrown in. I didn't feel right in asking $40+k for it though, as it has a recorded accident on the carfax - a cosmetic one, but still not great for the buyer looking for the perfect/clean NSX. Also had the rear bumper repainted due to some chips. But yeah, I'm not out to screw anyone (especially a future NSX owner), so I feel the $37.9k is very fair. I do wish I kept the OEM embroidered NSX duffel bag and car cover for myself, but.. again, didn't want to screw anyone and want the future owner of my NSX to have the best experience possible.
Really strange though - the consignment shop told me there were a few offers on the car, and one owner seemed serious and took it in for a PPI, but I haven't heard anything since (after the PPI he wanted a paint gauge done on all panels). [MENTION=30046]nikk0bacardi[/MENTION], did they tell you it was actually sold? As far as I was aware, it wasn't officially sold yet.... was going to take it back in 3 more weeks if it hadn't sold yet!
But don't worry - I do plan on buying another NSX in a few years after I buy a house (tentatively shopping for houses in dublin ATM so freeing up a chunk of cash is pretty helpful). The stingray is great, but when I got back into the NSX for a drive before sending it off to the consignment shop, I was reminded of how much better the NSX drove - sure, less power and no V8 noise, but it was so sublime, connected, unique, and "open" - hard to describe but I'm sure as NSX drivers we all know what I mean. Nothing will replace the NSX for me - I *WILL* be buying another one in a few more years.
but they slipped through my hands at a really great price (see links below). I would really like to hear all of your opinions on if these were priced at a steal or priced accordingly.
