Probably too good to be true (JH4NA1152MT002998)

[JMChristopher]

Hi guys. I found this on Cars.com:
http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/616300110/overview/
It's a 91 BB, 48k miles good condition for $27k
It is probably too good to be true, but I was able to get a hold of the owner and he said he was the third owner.

Doing a reverse google search of the images in the listing makes it look like they were original and not lifted from some other ad. A google search for the VIN leads me here:

This seams on the legit side, but I am 1200 miles from the car so I would have to fly out there.

What do you guys think?

See if you can find someone on the forums that is local to check it out.

If there are no issues, this one is gonna be sold in a day.

Where is the car?

 

[JMChristopher]

Oh, right, that isn't mentioned in the listing, but when I contacted the owner he said it was in Germantown, MD.

Interesting steering wheel

Posted on the DC area facebook page to see if someone can pop in. Too bad I didn't know a bit earlier, I was up in Germantown last weekend.

I also spoke to the owner. This car is a salvage title. Was wrecked in Austin, Texas in 2008. I believe this post has details.

Looks like the repairs were done properly from the pictures.

 

[JMChristopher]

Thanks for digging that up. That is all I needed to know. Even if it was done properly, I don't think I am interested. Trying to find one in close to mint condition with no accidents.

Good luck with your search. There is this car you may want to check out:

I believe it has 17K miles and they are asking $44-$45k.

^^^That's a good price, if the maintenance is up to date even better.

+1 - Made me think about picking up a 2nd :wink:

Thanks guys. That one looks good. I know it is a pretty tall order, but I am trying to find an NA1, non targa, with under 100k miles for around $30K. I have found a couple in the past, but they sell in a matter of seconds. One was a red 93 with 70k miles for $29k. Looked like it was in good condition too. It sold before I could arrange travel though.

Ah well, one day I will find one...

 

[Speedmaster]

This one is very near me. But, I am not the best judge of these cars...happy to go

and see it anyway. Say the word.

Did you find a nsx? I purchased mine on August 1st, under 30k with tasteful aftermarket wheels. It has interior flaws which I can fix over time. It's still possible to find under 30k, just do your homework.

 

[Big_D]

You should check this out...a little above the OPs budget but well worth it.

"All records since new" is worth a lot of peace of mind.

Wish I could jump on it! Not ready yet. :redface:

Sure, you can get an NSX under 30k with deferred maintenance. :smile:

I would focus on a well documented service history.

 

[phily]

I just bought mine at the end of August. Almost identical to the one that you started this post with. One owner, 77,000 miles for just over $30K, all original except for an after market stereo. They are out there. Be patient. Good luck.

 

[shawn110975]

with prices now almost all the NSX's your gonna find for that budget are gonna be salvaged or previous damaged if not salvaged.

I would jump on this one the damage wasn't that bad and if fixed nothing wrong with it being salvaged.

but saving for another year may be to late as prices keep climbing the next one might be out of reach ya know.

I say if an NSX's can drive me home from where I purchased it then I can fix anything that's wrong with it.

goodluck Never give up on your dream
