First post here so hello everybody.
Currently drive a white Accord Type R (CWATR) but looking to get myself my dreamcar within the next year (maybe two years, depending on performance of certain stocks).
I am currently keeping an eye out on available NSX's in Germany (www.mobile.de) with a pricebracket between 30.000 and 40.000 euros and I noticed two NSX with very low mileage: one NSX with 11.000km and one with 12.000km and both are from '91 or '92.
Now this, of course, is very nice but I have this question that keeps bothering me: these engines have probably not been used for long periods of time. Would this not be a very bad thing for the moving parts inseide an engine? What about some sort of electro-chemical interaction between pistonwall (aluminum) and piston scraper rings (stainless steel?)
Are there any drawbacks about getting an older car with (very) low mileage...what about getting a car with approx. 70.000km to 100.000km?
regards.
