Something just isnt right here..
"This is a 1995 Acura/Honda NSX Type R. the last year they made the car. this car is silver with black interior. absolutley perfect.."
Car will be imported from japan 4 weeks after buyer pays in full. car will arive legal for the street.

You mean the part where you give them your money and they have four weeks to run away before you start looking for them?

Or the part where they say that a car from abroad will arrive here fully legal and certified?

Does this look fishy?

Looks like the only type-R it has is the front badge (and it looks like an Acura badge at that). No NSX-R were made in LHD; No NSX-R comes with foglights; All NSX-R comes with red recaro seats. The car is clearly an Acura spec by looking at the side marker lights. Although there are Acura spec NSX in Japan, it doesn't mean this is a NSX-R.

but I do like those wheels. Same ones (in different size and color) used on the Lambo Diablo SV.

i run a white 91 nsx with a set of original Honda R rims. the car featured is definitely not a R. The seat should be RED Recaro and I don't think they ever made in Silver .
if you are seriously interested, contact the Japan NSX Club to help. They know for sure if this is REAL or a big red Tuna....
 
If this car was from japan, shouldn't it be right hand drive???

I just sent an email to him asking for the Vin#. I myself have never seen an NSX with the steering wheel on the left side in japan.

What a bunch of ....
Type-R? 95? Japan? Sure and I got a bridge in Brooklyn I want to sell you. I think the deal is this guy is trying to sell a car that's on someone elses lot and is trying to make a buck by putting it on ebay. I don't think he owns it. Just like the Skyline he's trying to sell.
 
Check out the user's rating.

18 positive rating
1 neutral
7 negative ratings

His responses to the negative ratings are very professional as well.

Response by oxygenincorporated - haha.. user never contacted me.. [email protected] is my paypal.. IM LEGIT!!
 
What a dork. The Type-T, IS the NSX-T as we know it, and as the thread says, there is no appreciable difference between a JDM NSX-T and a US Spec NSX-T, aside from the fact that the US version puts down 10 extra ponies.

JDM commands respect?? Does anyone here think someone who pays a ton extra to buy a JDM NSX-T commands respect?
I think the only thing you'd command after paying 100+K on a stock RHD NSX is ridicule..

Gee, if I had said that remark, our humor-challenged would-be censors would be jumping all over it.

Both versions produce the same power. However, power in Japan is measured as ps, not the close-but-not-exact hp, and there's a gentlemen's agreement not to quote figures higher than 280 ps.
 
If you care... I reported this item to eBay as fraudulent, here is the response I got:

Hopefully all buyers will be smart enough to know that this item is fake.


Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to contact eBay with your report about
item #600651212. I will be more than happy to help you with this
concern.

eBay doesn't actually handle the merchandise that is offered for
auction. Without firsthand knowledge of the item, we are unable to
guarantee the accuracy of the listing information. We encourage members
who are interested in bidding on an item to email the seller for
additional information. Be sure to ask the seller specific questions
regarding age, authenticity and condition of the item before bidding.

Part of this information is contained in our User Agreement, under
article 3. I have included a portion of that Article below for your
review:

"...3.1 Overview. Our site acts as the venue for sellers to list items
(or, as appropriate, solicit offers to buy) and buyers to bid on items.
We are not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and

It is up to the member to present the item correctly. Since we are not
experts in these areas, we can not pass judgement on the manner in which
the item is presented. In cases like this, we maintain that any member
with expertise on the items being sold contact the member directly. It
may be that the seller is not aware of the specifics of certain items
and may need to be educated. We are in no position to contact the member
as we have no first hand knowledge about the item being offered for
sale. That is one reason why we allow members to contact each other. Our
more seasoned members should help educate other members so that
occurrences like this do not happen in he future.

Thank you for allowing me to assist you with this matter today. Please
