Foreign Auto has been mentioned. Is a dealer going to be a better bet? Just curious.

Thanks.

I think you mean Foreign Affair.

Hopefully the locals will chime in about local dealers. Some dealers don't have a lot of NSX experience and treat an NSX PPI the same as any car inspection, such as the checklist for a PPO car. That will pick up some routine items - stuff like tire tread depth, battery charge, brake pad thickness, etc - but may miss anything that's NSX-specific. There may be dealers who have a mechanic on staff who does a lot of NSX work, so he knows to check NSX-specific things like snap ring range, etc., and that's the kind of dealer from whom you'll (hopefully) get a comprehensive NSX PPI. The same is true for independent shops (like Foreign Affair, which services a lot of NSXs). Either way, you want it checked out by someone with the NSX experience so they know which things to look for, beyond the routine stuff for all cars. HTH.

You can see my review at the very top. Jim Russell know the NSX in an out, and is attentive, detail-oriented, and a really nice guy. He will spot common issues in a second.

Be sure you specifically ask for him to do it. In fact, ask to speak to him when you call... tell him Ben sent you.
