Re: Current Nsx's for sale. Why arent they selling?
imo if anything doesnt sell; its overpriced.
this goes for cars, condos, homes, education practically anything.
the problem is that accurate 'pricing' or fair market value is determined by many many many factors. supply/demand, affordability, marketing etc etc etc. hence sometimes fmv for rare items is hard to determine.
one of the biggest problems for the cdn nsx market is that we are so close to the USA. so when price comparing its immediately apparent that cdn nsx's can cost on average more then 15-40% more then their us counterparts. of course this explain why there are so many nsx's sold in canada that come from the states.
the fact that for about 95% of nsx owners or those looking for an nsx/911 etc etc... the exotic sports car is normally a frivolous item that is either the 2nd if not 3rd, 4th, 5th ... car in the house hold. so the demand to purchase the car at top dollar for urgent day-to-day transportation simply doesn't exist for many (unless they are are collectors looking for MINT < 1000 km vehicle).
and of cousre, for 99.999% of us whom drive our cars, they will simply ALWAYS go down in value.
imo money in my pocket (or money in anyones pocket for that matter) is always better then money into a depreciating asset.
the other thing ive noticed is nsx price ranges. nsx pricing for my rationale (like a few others ive read on this forum) is simple. if its within a certain price range for what im looking for i'll go for it. if it exceeds that amount and hits 997 991 territory; then i would likely go for a much newer/updated vehicle instead. that doenst mean i love the nsx any less; its just that for the money there are so many other newer, very attractive options.
this has held true for alot of my once die hard nsx fans that by the time they had 50-60k comfortably ready to purchase a newer NA2; all of them opted out and purchased much much newer cars instead as they felt that the for the money, they could get something that has more power, newer etc etc etc (typical modern day sports car arguments)
all imho of course.
