Hi all,

I glad to be here at the moment when Im going to buy soon to my self honda nsx.
In Finland we don't have any nsx yet.
NSX list price in Finland (NEW) was before Honda stopped the pruction 197000€ / 251000 usd :mad: .

I have at the moment Honda Civic 1.6vtec -2003 & 1.8sport -2006 & Comptech sc S2000 -2001.
I have had 8th diffrent hondas & my family 18:n diffrent, mostly Civic's, one was Civic TypeR -2003.
Also some Accord & Honda colwing's like 1100cc , 1200cc & 1500cc.
I like reability, and overall Honda car's.

Friendly yours:
Pegi from Finland

Welcome! I'm not sure how it is in Europe, but in the United States, '93+ NSXs have passenger airbags. Also, the center console storage compartment lid in the pictures you posted is one piece (indicative of a '91 or '92). Therefore, that car looks like a '91 or '92 to me.

Some '91 and '92 cars might be in the snap-ring range:

The exterior and interior of the car you're interested in looks very clean, except for the engine compartment.

Offtopic: Were you swayed by Conan O'Brien's campaign ads for Tarja Halonen? :biggrin:
 
From the paperwork it looks like a 92 sold in August of 93.
What are the two black things in front of the headlights?
My 2000 doesn't have these.
 
Gene I suspect the "black things" are headlight washer fluid outlets.
Cannot tell model year from VIN (Fahrzeug- Ident- Nr).

Yep. I'm pretty sure those things spray the headlights clean. I've seen them on European S2000s as well.

They are headlight washer jets.:smile:
I can't understand for the life of me why a dealership would detail the inside and outside of the car and yet allow the engine compartment to look like that.:frown:
Is it just me or does the seatbelt look green in the pics?:confused:

Yep,
- I ask today from my Finish Honda dealer what year car it is, he say it is -92 and registered 6/93.

- About snap-ring problem I have to chech it it the car is in that range.
- Pictures seems to be good, but engine compartment is awful :eek: .
The car have serrvice book and it should be only 16900km driven/ 10562 miles.
So that's make me wondering if it could be truth so f****g dirty engine :rolleyes: ???

At least your questions about T. Halonen:
No, I haven't seen it (Maybe only Finish who have not seen it) :biggrin:

Swiss cars can be found on www.autoscout.ch If you're interested in one of ours strongly let me know, maybe someone of us knows the car or have a deeper look inside. The more cars leave Switzerland the higher will be the price of the remaining ones! :D:D:D
 
Roenick,

Congrats!! Do you think it might have been cheaper for you to import one from the U.S or Canada? I'm not sure about all your taxes but the list price sure is outrageous?

I will tell more later...
 
Congrats,
Have been looking at the car you just bought too, liked the tan interior as that is different from most red cars.
Was for sale in Germany and looked like a good deal.
However, I want something other than red.
Good luck with it.

My understanding is that, in Europe, a car's model year is determined by when it is first sold. So that means this car would be considered a 1993 NSX. (If an NSX were built in 1991 but sat in a dealer showroom, new, until 1997, it would be considered a 1997 NSX.)

This is different from here in North America, where a car's model year is determined when it is first built and is part of the vehicle identification number assigned at the factory.
 
pegi,

Outstanding NSX you have. I noticed that the targa top is black. I have never seen that before on a 1997 -- nice.

Are you familiar with FMI? We do some work with them.

Hello Pegi,

Nice car you have bought, but the roof collar is not good for a 97 european car i hope you know this!!. It seems indeed a first type car that has been registrated not before 97 !!

Where dit you found this car ?? what is the cars chassinumber?

Great to have a new european NSX lover!!. I am now home from almost 2.5 weeks holiday in Norway and sweden, and i found in a carmagazine in norway that there where 3 red NSX cars for sale in Norway, is this one off them??

greatings from the Netherlands
