Looking for a project NSX in Canada

[Kenzo]

Hi all, finally registered here and looking for some assistance with, what seems to be, a rare request.
I'm seeking an NSX within Canada that needs work, so high mileage or salvage (I know but I'm looking to restore/build) are right up my alley.
Mainly mechanically inclined, so a decent body is preferred. Engine work or transmission work is not a big concern.

I have no color preference, but would require that the car be standard. Black interior would be a plus.

If members have or know of others looking to offload theirs, please contact me.

Thanks!

PS: If this needs to be moved to the wanted section, please move. I'm hoping to target mainly Canadians.

there is a thread on this car under the Canadian forum: http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showthread.php/190368-1995-for-sale-in-Winnipeg-(possible-scam)

apparently, not a scam, but a legit car.

Thanks Warren, I've spoken with the owner. I've also seen your previous posting back in 2008 in regards to it. Sounds like nothing new has changed besides maybe plastidip on the wheels.
However, that is one car I've been considering, but the horrible paintwork is truly stopping me at the moment. That and the fact that the owner has mucked around with the head and has attempted a valve adjustment.
Owner has mentioned it requires the good ol LMA fix now as it has developed the noise (which sounds like after he had fiddled around). However from what I've heard it could possibly be knock or something not quite right in the head. This one would be ideal, cept for it's paintwork, which leads me to my next question...

Question to the community: With the seemingly appreciating costs of NSXs, the car above with all it's paintwork glory and lack of maintenance records/maintenance in general in the past, what would be a suitable asking price. I've offered my price to the seller with my justifications but was not accepted.

I'd say 25K is about right. 25K seems to be just about the bottom rung for NSX's in Canada at the moment (likely only to climb).

It's definitely a sellers market at the moment (even for poor examples). I suspect most NSX's sold are for their asking price, else close to it.

To put the car linked above in perspective: I saw a NSX for sale in Ottawa 1 or 2 years ago with over 400,000 km on it, a body far from perfect, I believe in need of a TB&WP job, and no maintenance history. Seller was was asking 18 K, car was sold in a handful of days.

Remember, you're looking for a project car. If you get one that's actually half decent, you might not want to cut it up..
Good luck with your search!

Thanks Lucas, I'll definitely keep that in mind now for future cars.

Agreed with Lucas on all counts. That rough NSX was owned by a buddy of mine and he sold it at a very fair price. IMHO that yellow one is proced right and fairly at $25K. Someone will buy it.
