I think $48,500 is a bit high for this vehicle. I believe you can get a 97 ( with the 3.2 l , 290 HP engine) with similar mileage for the same price. I would pay $39,000 if the car you speak of is in MINT condition. Also, has it had the timimg belt, water pump changed? ( That's nearly a $3,000 expense suggested at 6 years or 95 miles). If you love the B/B, I'd hold out for a fully maintained 97-98 model and stand firm at $43,000... $45,000 if you are in mad love !
How much -- 1995, blk, 14Kmi, 1owner
- Thread starter gti2kids
- Start date
It would be worth $37-39k at the most.
Yes this car has low miles but consider that 1995 was the first year for the Targa meant that the reinforcing caused weight gain while still using the 3.0L engine. Some say its the slowest of all NSX models but I think we are talking semantics...a second slower?
Concerns on this car would be how long it has sat and whether the Timing belt has been done (date or mileage - whichever comes first). As others have stated this could be another $3-4k cost.
Keep searching as this price does bring you closer to the 2000/2001 or 2002 pricing.

Don't sweat it, the NSX is an easy car to drive stick with. Although it won't be as easy as your new VW, it still will be fine. It shouldn't have much to do with the throttle being drive by wire or cable, and more to do with the engine and clutch.
+1 to Jetpilot's comments, its a 35K to 40K car
(if its truly mint, documented, and sorted)
I would add that with a step up to a 97'-01' NA2 model you get a 3.2 and a 6 speed trans plus some other refinements. Those are usually in the 40K-50K range until you reach the 02+ model years which are usually running $50K -70K
If your price range is $30K, you can pick up a nice documented, sorted, 91-94 coupe in that range... I have recently inspected a few good/nice condition 95/96 models for around $35K here in Phoenix
No matter what you do, fly to see the car AFTER a qualified, independent PPI is performed... 30K is a lot of cash, make a smart purchase

Has anyone in the area went and looked at this car? I talked to the sales manager this morning and am awaiting his call back. Looking into getting into my 1st NSX.:smile:

Seems like a majority of your posts I have seen, are mis-leading and speak from no personal experience. My advice to you and support to this community, try posting and contributing to topics that you know are actual facts.
To the OP, try contacting Bank of the West. A few Muscle Car and Exotic car buddies, have used them for financing. Good luck on the purchase.
I have seen several of the '91-94 cars sold in the past 5-6 years with similar miles. Most were sold for around $40K, give or take a grand or two. Given that this one is an NSX-T and those generally sell for a bit more than a coupe, I'd say a fair price for this one is mid forties - maybe not $48K, but not that far off.
I'm sure you realize that you will be paying a premium of thousands of dollars for the low miles, and that you can pay less for one with more miles or get a newer one for the same money (but again, with more miles). Everyone who says that this price is too high is ignoring that simple fact.

I would wait/pass up on this one at this time. Like what many have said, the price is a bit steep. Take your time and one will turn up in your price range and to your liking

Greetings GTI,
If you wait, the price may go even higher in the future (if you can still find it.) Especially if more NSXs are wrecked/destroyed and no longer on the road. A NSX with only 14K miles is a such rare find and the dealer knows it. People are starting to wake up and appreciate these cars. IF I have the money, I would pull the trigger and buy now before someone else buys it and have it shipped to another country. It's a small world and you can bet there are foreign buyers out there who sooner or later will discover this one is for sale.

Spend a little more, buy an 02. You will save a ton of money in the long run that way. Most NSX owners grow to like the headlights and everyone knows the 6 spd is great plus all the wearables are 7-10years newer. I think that car is worth about 40k fwiw.

I am in the same boat right now. I just bought a 1993 black with 7,400 miles. I am doing the timing belt and Pump next week, but I have no idea what it is worth. i have been looking for a Targa, because I just bought the car to cruise. Maybe I could trade that dealer???
Post count is not a reliable measure of the quality of a member :wink: There are many examples to the contrary here (on both the positive and negative side).

Buy from a private party such as a prime member. Know the history of the car
and which reputable members have cared for their dream car. Pass for this reason and the pricing.

That is WAY overpriced for a 1995, even with 13.5K miles.
Maybe... 35K-39K if its REAL nice and completely mint bumper to bumper with great service history, lineage of owners, up to date maintenance, etc
A few months ago here in Phoenix, I test drove a good condition 95' with ~55K miles and the seller was asking in the 35K range. Had very minor and common roadrash on the paint and otherwise presented and drove quite well. If I recall correctly, his ad was on autotrader... not sure about that
Whatever you decide to do, have 5K in a piggy bank on reserve for any maintenance, parts, mods, etc that you need. Un-budgeted repairs are not fun repairs and you want to start your ownership on the right foot.
If you are dropping 30K + on anything, spend the money to go see the car and have a PPI done after you see it.
Read the wiki here... invest the time to know the car and it will pay big dividends down the road

Rare mileage, original car. Not many of these left. (but at the same time, they keep surfacing)
I would approach the dealership with an offer that included the Timing Belt, water pump maybe a front crank pulley replacement done by an Acura Dealership. Tell them you won't make an offer without this critical maintenance completed. If you are serious about the car, while it is at the Acura dealership, pay for a PPI.
Then and only then can you make a valid offer.
I like original, non-modified cars, so I am biased on this one. It isn't even broken in yet!

Thanks, I couldn't agree more. Imo, this Shawn member represents the NSX community in a very poor way (especially for any new members, lurking).
Hey Shawn, you can brag all you want about your post count and how much you think you help the NSX community. While your negative and mis-leading posts speak otherwise. I don't need a high post count, or matured internet profile to back my 20 yrs. in the NSX community.

If you think my advice is poor and I represent the NSX community without merit then your in error.
You say my posts and or the help I give is considered bad advice says who? ( you ).
" 20 yrs. in the NSX community " looks good on paper. how many miles worth?

Looks like a nice NSX. The price does seem kinda high. For example is you paid $45000 for it and then decide to trade it back to the dealer in a year, they will only give you maybe $27000-$30000 for it. If you plan to keep your car for a long time its ok. But if you are not 100% sure, I would think twice about getting this one. You will probably need around 3-5k for maintenance. Even though the car only has 15k miles, the car is still 16 years old. Check ebay there is an 02 or 04 in south floirda - asking price is $51k. I have a 95nsx-t which I purchsed in jan2011 for less than $27K because of the "help" of shawn with his write-up on the nsx which was located at a dealer in tampa. Maybe someone can take a look at this car and give you a second opinion.
Greetings Everyone,
Anybody knows what happened to this vehicle, was it sold at the asking price of $48k?
Here is a recent dealer ad today in Autotrader for a low mileage '91 NSX in Knoxville, TN offered at $54,988. Somehow, a '95 with 14Kmi offered at $48K does not seem unreasonable anymore.
