Global motor cars of Houston

Linky no work.

You might also want to post in the regional section.
 
I wanted to re-post the info from our regional forum to this subforum for future use for any prospective buyers for this particular car:



Here is my review of the vehicle (I wish I brought my camera to document it):
VIN JH4NA1159NT001090


-Due to the lambo doors, the front fender where the door meets it is messed up. The driver side is worse than the passenger. There is an 1-1 1/2 inch crack in the driver fender along with what is best described as someone taking a bite out of the fender and ripping it upwards. When looking from the rear of the car forward, the front fenders stick out about half an inch from the rest of the car. There are also 3 dings in this same front fender.
-The rear bumper is not properly attached (also the rear valence - gaps).
-There are many chips on the door of the driver side (big ones) that it appears they tried to fill it in with touch up paint vs getting it repainted.
-The rubber piece in between the front bumper to the car sticks out on the driver's side.
-Interior of the car appeared to be in good shape with ok wear on the driver side bolster.
-Both rear rims are rashed and the fronts have many chips on them.
-Front tires are Yokos ES100 while the rears are some brand called Ventus.

I think that's it for now.
 
Hello all this is my first post. I just joined a few mins ago. Looking for a pre-owned NSX and I test drove this one today at Global here in Houston. I was hoping if any of you had any more info on this car. I just pm'ed MisterNSX since he was the original owner, also mentioned that the person he sold it to had been in a wreck.

The car drove pretty decent, except the eps being non-existent. I would be pretty OK with that. I intend to get an NSX as a weekend warrior and not for daily usage or too much freeway driving. Just inside the loop in Houston in the midtown/downtown area. Now the EPS does give me some parking probs but that is not a big deal as there's a lot of ample parking in Texas.

The lambo doors are gone and I was told that Global repainted it. The doors did not have any problems, the power window was painfully slow but nothing a new motor cannot fix. Also there was a slight noise from the front of a metal clinging whenever I changed gears. The carfax looks good with no notice of a rollback on mileage. Looks like the timing belt was replaced right under 29K miles.

Does anyone know of a GREAT place where I can take it to get it checked out here in Houston? I am willing to pay whatever the charge is. I did call an Acura dealer and they quoted me $110/- for the checkup - but I don't know if they have an Acura specialist inhouse. Also anyone here in the Houston area willing to help me out by going with me? I would owe you one! Global said that they would let it go for 25K and that the car had been on the lot for 200 plus days.

I am not looking to make any major changes - I have spent hours on the forum looking at reviews and posts. Looks like EPS addition would be expensive and not worth it. Also an aftermarket steering around 320-350mm would do better. Also I LOVE the drop and wheels on ryan1926 and I would love to steal/borrow that look :smile:

The NSX stole my heart when I was young and has always been one of my dream cars. I just recenytly sold my 99 SLK230 and my daily driver is an 06 Lexus IS250 silver/black.
