I sold my car... :( ...I feel quite strange now... I had a NSX for the last four years and from tonight my beater Clio will sleep in the garage. Strange. Very strange.

Anyway, let's see which car do the future reserve for me... maybe another NSX, maybe a prancing horse...

Anyway, MARTIN HAVE FUN!!!

I am sure you will, the way back to Norway will be a blast with all the Germany Autobahn in the middle! :D :D :D
 
That's indeed sad news :(

It seems like there's a trend for older members to sell their cars. Just like Blue Knight, I'm sure you've a very good reason letting go of your beloved vehicle, especially after all the modifications you've done to it in the recent past. In the bigger picture, I sincerely hope you'll pick up another X and still hang around until then. It's a great loss to Prime whenever an active member sell their car, he/she doesn't log on anymore.

All the best.
 
I will definitely hang around, this place is my second home (or first?? ;) )... and as said, it could well be another NSX my next car.

This if no 355 will convince me that I NEED one of those so much and make me ignore the double purchase price...

Another NSX? Red and silver were already owned. Black?

Blue Knight? I thought he only owned his NSX for barely a year?
Anyway, Giuseppe, I am shocked that you all of a sudden sold your NSX. How much is an excellent 355 overthere?

Giuseppe - I'm stunned!

Whatever's going around I hope it's not infectious!

seriously, quite surprised to hear that G - you had done a great job with your car, it looks fabulous - I'm sure you'll be going through withdrawl symptoms over the next few weeks.
Glad to hear you'll still be around 'Prime regardless however.
 
I feel like you just sold a piece of my own NSX.

Wait a minute - I think you did!!! 4 pieces, in fact! :D

Good luck to you....
 
No-no-no Ken! :)
From you I expect more precision... I wish I had a part of your original pristine '91. But the caps came from the '94+ OEM wheels that were not part of the Sax Museum of Automotive Arts on Wheels .

If that was the case, Martin would have gotten the wheels without caps! :D

Anyway, those caps, were part of the deal and raised the price significantly! :cool:
 
Geez, Gheba.
This news came out of nowhere.

Well, I hope this new thing coming your way have an Acura logo on it.

Oh, and tell this Martin guy to log on to NSXPrime so we can still see your ex.
 
damn!

the picture of your car (pic of the month) was the one that convinced that i had to get an NSX.

goodluck on your next project car.

I'm not sure how long he owned his car for but when I say "member," I meant it in terms of the forum, not ownership. It's more than enough to classify him as an "older member" when he's pretty active on Prime for the past year and a half. Hence the term "oldest member" when people are speaking of Lud and Mr. Enness Ecstasy ;)
 
<B>gheba_nsx</B> - Are you feeling okay? Just think of all the memories you sold with it (washing her on christmas day in the snow)

now you'll have to change your name to just "gheba"...

It is a very very sad day indeed.... :( :( :(


(but on the bright side, what color/year NSX are you buying next? :D)

Yes, it is a sad day... in the last days I was tempted not to sell anymore but we were too far with the transaction and Martin was such an enthusiast! He is already in the forums and he will post more about his 2000miles trip back home around Europe!

Anyway, the Crazy-X-Mas-wash :p was done with the mighty red nsx! A car that also got winter tires on... :D
 
Sorry to hear Gheba:-(
But I'm also happy, because the car is coming to my country and that's cool. I've also met Martin, and he is a true NSX fan.
Can't wait to see the car when it arrives on saturday.

Good luck with your next car! It's fun to be in the market for a new car too.

PS, there is a brand new NSX on mobile, it's Mwst ausw. , which means you can knock off 16% of the price when importing it to Switzerland. That will buy you a new NSX for 66000€. Probably less too with negotiations.

I saw that NSX but as I already wrote many times in this forum, I do not feel that the NSX is worth the 66000 euro (or in this case 70000$).

Probably because IMO it is not worth 2x as much as a very well mainatined 1991-1994 and because F355s are at least 10k less than that... some may be upeset by this but again IMO a F355 is a better car then the NSX-T. Again, IMO, I would even accapt the less reliability of the Ferrari (and the 19k price difference in favour of the 355 would cover my a$$ anyway! :D)

Ok, here's the truth, I accepted to sell my car to buy a really perfect 1997 NSX-T, 30k km for 45000 euro. That is the max. price I am interested in paying for a NSX-T (should not be new of course, 1997 is okay :p ) or 30000 for a very perfect 1991-1993.

The NSX-T was unfortunately sold two weeks before Martin came here to buy my car and I lost it. This is kind of sad because I would already be able to post photos of it, with me in it, here right now... :(
And what is even more sad is that the car has been several months for sale, ans zzzap, taken away in front of my eyes anc cheque!

I would want another NSX if the eprfect one comes on my way, and slowly start to make some mod to have another wonderful nsx as mine was... :cool: :(

I probably like more in having things done to it than just own it, and another color (no Boston, no midnight pearl for me! :) ) would renew my interest in the car.

Now, I still have to speak with two 355 sellers... then I will take a decision!

Hope you'll find a nice car.

What about a Diablo?

Didn't we talk about that? :)

Did you have the occasion to drive a F 355 and then to compare it to the NSX?

Good luck to you in finding a nice Ferrari!
 
Hi Gheba and everybody..

Yes I bought the silver...yes I am satisfied...

Yes I had to drive in rain for 2 hours...yes it was a hell of a drive...

Yes Gheba is correct..

I paid 19.000 Euro's for the caps only and then the cost for the car ;) ;)

I can relate to what you are saying. When I sold my first one it felt really strange not being able to go to the garage and see it in there. Although I liked not having the car payments on it for sure. ;)
Soon I will probably be parting ways with my current one as I have different plans for the future.
 
Martin, welcome back! Can't wait to read more about your 4 days drive! Every SMS I got in the weekend I always hoped it was some more news from you (I loved the one where you were "Tubi-ing" in Germany and the police was warned about the "Ferrari with no number plates speeding around"! :D :D :D ).

The photos have to be 100kb at max., so reduce them to that size, before posting them inside here. If you only link from here you can choose the size you want but I would use 800x600.

Have more fun with "her"!
Gheba
