Many of you old schoolers may remember me from way way back in the day. I've had my NSX 17 years, and I think it's time to see what she's worth and potentially retire her from my garage.
Here are a couple of pictures, keep in mind these were taken a 5 years ago but she has only a couple thousand miles on her since then so she still looks the same.
Now that probably jogged a few old schoolers memories. My issue is I'm not really sure what this car is worth today. Blue book says the car by itself is worth $19,900 given its mileage and condition, so I'm going to just list what she has and maybe you guys can help me determine a fair price for it.
Things to consider: It's never been in an accident but it does have a minor scuff on the front right bumper caused by a cone being clipped on a track day. It also has a minor ding in the back left quarter panel where a deer (yes a deer) ran into the back of the car on a mountain road. No paint damage, just a ding that could be removed via a dent wizard without requiring a repaint.
Mileage: 120,191
Year: 1992
Color: Black/Black
5 Speed
Condition: Good, but could probably use a little paint love, the paint is original and it has 120k miles so it's seen its fair share of nicks on the front bumper from driving.
This car has been sitting, and driven maybe 2-3 times a year outside of the monthly short drive to keep everything lubricated and the gas flushed for the last 5 years (thus the reason I'm considering selling it, I just don't drive it anymore).
I had a recent checkup on it done and everything came back clean. Engine compression per cylinder was 90% or more across all cylinders. She's been very well maintained, many of the older members on here can vouge that I take very good care of my vehicles in general. The rear boots need to be replaced because they're cracked, but I'll get that done prior to sale, it's an inexpensive repair, a few hundred bucks to replace them and re-grease.
Modifications (Extensive)
Exterior:
Window Tint on Back window, no body changes
Engine:
Gruppe M Supercharger
Gruppe M Air Filter (Large, carbon fiber)
Gruppe M Engine Management
Comptech Headers
Blue Hoses/fittings
Gruppe M boost guage in place of factory volt gauge, looks stock in dash.
Transmission:
4:55 R&P
NSX-R Short Gears
Single Disc Racing Clutch
Aluminum Ultra Light Flywheel
Suspension:
Tien Type RE (The higher end ones) Coil overs
Comptech Sway Bars Front and Rear
Exhaust:
Comptech
Battery:
Ultra-light gel cell racing battery
Stereo:
Completely custom, including 10" fiberglassed reverse mount subwoofer in passenger footwell. Custom EMPEG MP3 stereo, with NSX logo programmed into display. Powered by an ARC Audio amp system. (See pictures)
Wheels:
OZ Racing Superleggera one piece lightweights.
Interior:
Custom dash for stereo, everything else is original. Seat condition is actually in much better shape than most NSXs, I will post pics of it later.

This is all of the current modifications. There are also a ton of "parts" to go with the sale.
The car at one point (for like 2 months) also had the RM Racing Nitrous kit, the kit is still fully built into the car, it's just disabled, meaning the electrical trigger/control switches and injection nozzle have been removed. I would leave all of this in tact for you to do with as you please. You can see the bottle and mount in the last picture in the trunk. I used a total of 3 bottles before I disabled the system and stuck with just the supercharger for power.
Original OEM wheels from 1992
Original OEM suspension
Original OEM sway bars
Any original part that was removed/upgraded I still have, including engine cover, original transmission gears, original transmission R&P, original headers, etc..
Everything below was purchased years ago because I intended on repainting the front of the car to refresh it from day to day rock/road abuse. It's all new, in original OEM packaging, never opened.
1 extra under front skirt plastic piece (older NSX owners will know how much fun these were to replace from scraping driveways).
1 set (left and right) of front turn signal covers (the clear plastic in the front bumper)
1 complete OEM front bumper cover (I bought this to have it painted to replace my current one after the track day scuff incident, and never bothered to do it.. it's still in its original OEM unopened box).
1 front hood emblem (same thing, I was going to repaint the front end to refresh the rock chips, and needed the emblem for the hood)
1 set (left and right) of rear under wheel well plastics. These tend to crack in old age, so I have a new set never installed to replace.
So that's the car in a nutshell... all said and done there's over $100k into the car.
I saw a car in similar condition/mileage with a Gruppe M selling for around $45,000, but I don't know if that's too expensive or about right.
So I'm looking to you guys to give me an idea of what she'd be worth, if it's a fair amount I might let her go.
Thanks

I like to drive fast, but I'm not big on abusing my cars, which is why it's in the condition that it's in, most have no idea it's almost a 20 year old car when they see it.
