My wife picked up the car today from the seller in L.A. She liked the car more than she thought. She said that the car was so clean (just like new).

Here is the story.
One of the previous nsx owners, who happened to work for my father-in-law went along with my wife and her family to pick up the car.
In fact, the guy had an amazing knowledge of cars (having worked at a body shop), and proved to be extremely helpful. Upon the arrival at the seller's house, he spotted something that the technician at MV Acura did not find during the inspection (the technician had told me that the car was in excellent condition).
He saw that underneath the left hand side fender did not perfectly align (don't know exactly which part since I was not there), and that there was a bit of paint work on the lower part of the bumper. My wife and the seller could not tell, but he said he could. He stated that the car may have been in a minor fender-bender accident.
The seller (being an old man, and a second owner) did not even know that the car may have been in an accident (the car was never in any accident during his possession, and since he purchased the car at 10k miles, he did not think that it was in any kind of accidents) prior to his ownership.
He (the car guy), then, immediately called me, and let me know of the situation. He frankly told me that it was not anything big at all, and only the most anal people may notice. Since I knew how nice and honest the seller was, I did not want to make a big deal at the last minute.
Nevertheless, the seller gladly reduced the price even further (the final price that I paid is so low that I will tell you only if you ask me).
So that's it, guys!! I will pick up the car when Spring comes in Boston.
I can't wait. I can't work (though I have a deadline). I can't wait (did I say enough?
!!
Again, thanks, guys!! Although I found the car from ebay, I must admit that I was 1) lucky to have found a clean car, and 2) it was definitely worth waiting for 2 years.
