I have read the changes in the NSX year to year, and another thing intrigues me. I have noticed quite a few sigs from other people on here that say they have a 91 NSX. Beyond the performance boosts, as well as the other changes, is the reliability of an older model NSX typically the same as that of a newer one? The reason I ask is that *typically* 91 NSX tend to go for about 25-30k and the later models of about 95+ go for about 40k + Would getting a later model simply mean that you get to enjoy the small updates, or is there something distinct in say, repairs, or maintanence on an older NSX...if there's no big difference, i'll probably just go for an earlier model.
early nsx vs. late models

If you have been reading these things forever as you stated in your other post Johnathan you would have found that a well maintained 91 is just as good as a new nsx. If you look in the
FAQ's section there is a detailed list of what to look for when purchasing a early model nsx.
I also did a search and came up with at least 20 post which covered this subject i guess its just easier to make a post and wait for someone to do the work for you.

I have to disagree with your small updates assessment. In my opinion these were major updates!
From the FAQ:
The early model NSX was once ranked #1 in JD Powers and Associates 5 year dependabilty survey.

I recall that in another post you are only 20. Most of the time you really do get what you paid for. Most NSXs that are well below what the asking price is are poorly maintained examples. You might save some money on the initial purchase, but I can guarantee in the long run you would have been better off shelling out more money to begin with for a better one.
Bottom line is the NSX is a reliable car regardless of model year. However, you will see some people complaining how unreliable an NSX is. If you read closely to the posts of these owners, you will see that they bought a used and poorly maintained NSX to begin with. This is hardly an accurate measuring stick of the NSXs reliability.
