Potential purchase: JH4NA1269RT000342 (1994, white, automatic)

[rorrim]

Does anyone know anything about this car? It's a 1994 white automatic at Acura of Ramsey in Ramsey, NJ. I've been searching for a clean automatic and they are very difficult to find. Can someone run a Carfax report on this one for me?

I'd be willing to pay to have someone in the area go inspect this vehicle for me. Is anyone interested?

While I would prefer a manual, I really need an automatic to keep my wife happy with the purchase

Thanks in advance!

make sure that you won't regret later for buying automatic

You know my wife thought the same thing until she drove a stick - that was the end of the automatic issue entirely. She loves her 6 speed and would have deeply regretted the automatic. Just some food for thought. If your wife went a drove a manual transmission civic, driving the NSX is just that easy. If you have time tryo to find someone with a manual NSX she can drive around the block. I am tickled that my wife agreed to the 6 speed.

Acura of Ramsey has had that NSX for a LONG while. If memory serves, I saw it there last fall and on eBay several time since then. From the Carfax, it may have been there substatially longer than that:

I do agree with the comments that would urge you to make sure you want an auto. I would also ask why the car has been at the dealership that long (Mahwah and Ramsey are ~2 min apart).

Larry Bastanza (username Larry Bastanza on this forum ) is one of the best NSX mechanics on the East Coast and he lives very close to there. Send him a PM.
