how much for the NSX that I want?

[hondasales101]

I used to own a S2000 and now I'm looking for a 2000 to 2001 NSX w/no mods, no accidents and 1-2 owner. I've been looking at the for sale forum and autotrader.com. I've seen anywhere from $45,000-$55,000. What's a good deal and where could I get one? What did everyone paid for their NSX (2000-2001)? I'm still searching around just looking for the best deal. Any input are welcome, thanks!

Mike at Bridgewater Acura has my 2000 yellow, brand new 4K clutch,chrome blades, sweet car. Give him a call!

I paid 50K for this car and 4K for the clutch.

For $55,000 there are many 2002s available with average mileage (15,000-20,000). Don't forget about the cosmetic upgrades that occurred in 2002. I think spending the extra few thousand for the 2002+ is a good idea, much like spending the extra few thousand for the 1997.

The 1996 has become a very unpopular year and I predict the 2001 may follow the same path...

For some strange reason, your correct. I can understand 1996 but 2001?

1996 & 2001 were the last years before both major changes. 2001's unpopularity isn't as apparent yet. It may not ever be as apparent as 1996 b/c the changes were more comprehensive in 1997 than 2002 overall.

IOW, you're REALLY making a poor choice by not spending the extra few $$ for the 1997. You're getting so much more for the xtra $ in the 97 opposed to the 96. You're only getting cosmetic changes in 02 including wheels and HIDs, but I think that is worth the 5,000 or less extra from 01 to 02. :smile:

Yes, I would love to get the 2002 but they are so much more expensive. I have a limited budget ($45k) but of course I do want the newest, cleanest and lowest mileage.....but that would never happen for $45K on the 2002 model. How much to do that headlight convertion?

Its more than just switching out headlights. You need a new hood, new bumper and a little tweaking to the fenders. In other words, it ain't gonna be cheap.

In your post it appeared you were able to go up to about 55K. Yes, a 2002 for 45-50K is going to be tough. Maybe a super-high mileage one...:smile:

You're better off buying an 02! The conversion costs about $5,500 in parts alone, not including sideskirts/fenders which have a subtle change. Paint is additonal.

Good luck in the search!

what other places I could check other than here and autotrader.com? I guess there are not that many 1999-2001 NSX for sale?

 

[SCdS2K]

cars.com is a good place to find used cars...

 

[Dewain27]

another option is swapalease.com or leasetrader.com. You could find one close to the end of its lease and purchase it at the end...

For some like myself with a 2001 we wanted the lastest model car BEFORE the change. Some prefer the earlier front end. But all NSX's are great :biggrin:
