Well I finally bought an NSX after 2 months of daily and nightly looking. 2004 BLK/BLK with 6,100 miles and completely stock. My preference at this time as this is my first NSX. There are some really great cars out there as well as dogs, but at the right price every car can be desireable. This one looks like a new car as there are hardly any chips.
Drove it from DC to NY on sat, great fun. I am concerned about the salt residue that was on the roads at that time. The road was dry for the most part but there is a little white powder residue on the car. The body is one thing and easy to wash off, the underside is of greater concern. I don't want to put it through a car wash with a neutralizer as I always hand wash and driving back will only get it salty again. I plan on putting her into hibernation for the winter but want to do the prep while there are still some above freezing days. Is there a product that you can spray on and hose off that will eliminate the raod salt?
Another question that the dealer and the previous owner couldn't anwer is why some of the tools were missing. When I looked in the owner's manual, everything for a tire change that was identified was there but a few of the slots are empty. I have posted a pic so someone can tell me what is missing.
The owner removed a tire to have some scratches on a tire fixed but said he put everything back and can't remember if there were empty slots or not.
However I would like to praise the dealer, American Service Center in Arlington, VA for their accurrate description of the car, acceppting a fair offer $61,500 OTD, quick service and willingness to make everything right, like replacing or paying for any tools that are missing. They are exclusively a preowned Mercedes dealer so anyone looking for one, I would recommend them, see Mohamed.
Attached are a few pics of the car. One of the pics shows the MR2 that the NSX is replacing, soon to be shipped to its new owner.
I would like to thank everyone who has given me advice and help in my search especially our local Guru, Larry B. I look forward to a long membership in this club. I owned the MR2 for 14.5 years and the car before that for 10 years. I tend to keep my toys a long time. Thanks again!
PS
In my search I also came across a very sweet red/tan 2004 in Sarasota, FL with 10,000 mi I would have bought if it was closer. The car has a lot of very tastefull mods and 2 sets of wheels. The owner sent me a lot of photos and details and after many discussions I beleive this to be also a great car if you like the mods.

....Ok went and looked at my tool kit and noticed it is different than yours (mine is an '03) I cannot tell what you are missing but I noticed my screwdriver was not there so I looked under the styrofoam tray and there it was so...take a look underneath!
