need advice on NSX purchase

[AndyH]

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I have a few questions on an NSX that I would like to purchase. The car is a 92' black/black with 153K miles on it. Do you think this should be a concern to me? The seller's asking for $24K. Here are a few pix to the car http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=927303&uid=599261
feedbacks would be appreciated.

With that many miles AND some not-so-widely-desirable mods, I think that price sounds a bit high. I look at it this way: this car has 53K miles MORE than one that already has 100K miles.

That pretty much sums it up -

I would say if you wanted an NSX with 153K miles on it, get one with 80K for a few more bucks and put 73K on it yourself

I hope mine looks that good after 153K miles

looking at the pictures doesn't the door sill plate look like it was modified. I would double check the history of this car.

??
who makes those gauge faces ??

Also:
- RM DTM exhaust
- WW mid-height wing
- some type of intake
- NSX-R engine plate
- aftermarket wheels
Are some of the original parts available ?

I agree with mileage -- too high IMO

 

[nsxtasy]

I would hesitate to say that the mileage is "too high". I would say that it's too high for that price.

At the right price, this may be the right car for someone who can't afford a nicer (lower-mileage) one, and who isn't necessarily going to fix every little thing that goes wrong. A "beater NSX", if you will.

Is that the Gen 1 RM exhaust? Clearly, one exhaust tip on each side is only a cartoon (no heat signs and no soot).

Looks funny now - probably really looks funny on a cold morning...
