These might give you a good starting reference point.
I'm sure others will share their insights and experiences. Maybe even give you advise on who may be the best NSX tech in your area.

ok so there is another one that is for sale 92 with 150k on the dash and he is asking 21k is that a fair price? i know that is a lot of miles on the engine so if i were to get it what do you think i have to do and how much i have to spend to make the engine purring nice.he said engine is in tiptop shape but i would want to do that for my piece of mind.one more thing the snap ring issue i was reading it was only for 91-92 detail on what to look for so it wont happen to me
Maybe nothing. If it's been well-maintained, it could be running just fine, even after 150K miles. If you want someone to check it over, Ted at Muller's Woodfield Acura in Hoffman Estates has far more experience with the NSX than anyone else in the Chicago area, including rebuilding NSX engines and trannies.
Did you read that section of the Wiki?
thanks nsxtasy if i do get it,it will be going to woodfield for check up also i have to ask the seller to see what is his tranny # which i hope he can tell me.do you think there is paper work on it or does he have to lift up car for that?

well this is how I got my first NSX
I told myself I want to buy one and flip it for more money.
searched " ALLOFCRAIGLIST " and ebay looking for a cheap NSX to fix up and sell.
found one in the middle of BFE North Carolina the guy
had a 1992 with 114K miles and was asking 21K for the car and he wasnt going down on the price.
so I drove up the next day from tampa. he was happy to sell it.
my NSX had no records at all but did have a clean title. needed some work had issues that other
people would turn their head at cuz their sh_t dont stink.
drove it home decided to keep it that was 3 years ago and no major issues. beside the normal stuff that I would have done anyway.
so My advice is find one thats in decent shape and a good price, and bring it back to MINT status. you will enjoy the adventure and you will learn about the car. nothing beats hand on experience.
