If you are looking at this car you probably want to what I have learned. I have been looking into this car for a few days, and with the help of a fellow NSX Primer I found the following:
1. It was maintained by Acura of Boston and I called them and was advised to stay away from the car. I was told none of the panels on the car match color (yellow). This was also confirmed with a personal inspection by a member of this forum.
2. cln int; new looking pass seat
3. a/c seems fine
4. driver seat bolster is torn
5. carbon fiber sticker is coming off center dash and side panels
6. built-in radar detector that can't be turned off
7. HID system which sometimes worked
8. headlight comes up slower than normal
9. clutch makes clunky and squeaky sound (car not running)
10. stereo is fine
11. CD changer is missing cartridge
12. windows are fine
13. overspray
a. inside hood
b. underneath car
c. engine compartment
14. 1 panel in engine compartment seems to be bent
15. 2 supporting frames underneathe front of car are rusted
16. front driver side brake caliper has been creacked and rusted badly
17. brake pads are low
18. has B&B (RM) exhaust; tips are off balanced
19. 2 rear rims have curb rash, 1 with rash on spokes
20. 2 of front rims have no curb rash and look new
21. no major dings or scratches other than lower part of car
22. car is lowered with H&R springs
23. all struts work fine
We thought it was interesting that the dealer would not let one of our members even start the car let alone drive the car. I had called the dealer beforehand to set the inspection up since the car is in Boston and I am in socal and he seemed receptive to the visit. The dealer has stated that the car has left front frame damage and the left front fender has been painted in his ads.
