Just a heads up everyone..
I spoke to the husband /owner of the car. He informed me a few months ago the catalytic converter caught on fire while driving. Fire department was nearby and put the fire out shortly thereafter.
Car is at an Acura dealer getting a new rear tire, rear bumper / valence, catalytic converter, engine cover. Who knows what else, or what else they may have missed replacing. Had oil changes done a jiffy lube, and still on original WP/TB. I stopped asking after this point

I called on this one before seeing your post above. Though I am seeking GPW, the idea of buying a low mileage black '04 from a little old lady who used the car only to drive to church and the supermarket and always highway miles only of course piqued my curiousity to at least inquire. Plus I've been taking my Vitamin DL lately.
Talked to the wife of the owner. Gut feel impression: she seemed very nice and not scammy, but very admittedly not mechanically inclined. Is the wife of a very busy businessman - she probably created the ad for him and probably unintentionally typo'd the 2004. Car is in Texas, they are currently in S. Dakota on new business (oil industry), so going on memory alone she considers the car to be black with very slight green highlights in the sun (ala Brooklands Green). No VIN handy since the car is far away. Tan interior, manual trans. Probably needs the majors (TB/WP, hoses, etc). Book of receipts with car.
She emailed me two photos I can share with anyone interested. If looking for a green/tan low mileage 94, sure looks clean at least on my iPhone. Seats look rather beautiful, some slight marks maybe on the center armrest, and shifter knob is backwards.

blue_myriddn - No problemo!
This counters my gentle "anti" sentiment above regarding spoon-feeding here, so before posting earlier, I searched "NSXs Wanted" thread titles for "green." Only around 10 came up back to 2002 and all were "no green please," which struck me as surprising. So I then PM'd a recent posting seeking a solid NA1 coupe just in case.
The seller I spoke with seemed so transparent and friendly, and the apparent lack of love in the Wanted section actually made me feel a little sorry for this great looking spotted elephant from the island of misfit toys and crooked houses. I'm actually finding myself hoping it finds a good home from a happy Prime member who later posts pictures of it warm & toasty in his garage.
