Hello everyone.
I used to own a 91 NSX before the dot com meltdown and now I'm looking to join the club once again.
I see a lot of comments related to low ball offers. My thought is that no one should sneer at an offer of 90% of listed price or, if lower, accompanied by rationale (TB/WP pending, tires, etc.).
What is your opinion?
My second question concerns desirability as a buyer. My only firm requirement is a manual transmission. Softer requirements: black/green/silver, mid 90s car. Other than that, I see several scenarios that would make me a happy owner:
In the end, like anyone else I want value for money spent.
I have cash in hand (or may need a week depending on final price) and, unless some major adverse event happens, will buy in the next 2-3 months.
I get the impression some sellers want the buyer to be much narrower in their focus. Based on the above, do I appear as a less legitimate buyer than others?
I'm new to the community and I'm learning a tremendous amount through the forums. I don't want to insult anyone while trying to get the best deal on an NSX.

- Stock vehicle, turnkey and ready for years of trouble free driving other than expected maintenance
- Older car high miles, cheaper, that I can invest in mods to suit my tastes
- Modified car high horsepower, but looks and acts like OEM until you stomp on the gas.
