Rant: NSX search

[otoro]

A week from now will be the 6th month mark from my initial NSX search. Formed a habit searching and combing through Prime, Autotrader, Craigslist and Cars.com, but to none avail.

Seems as if you get closer to a PPI, sellers tend to disclose more than what they had intially said. Really frustrated at the entire gamut of this search.

Thanks for listening

Keep at it man. Took me about 6 months of the same routine as you-twice a day, before I was lucky enough to be the first caller on a newly posted ad. Luck and timing do have something to do with finding your NSX!
-Tip: When searching nationwide via craigslist, use a site called crazedlist.org. You will be able to search across whatever/or all cities you'd like to search for in a single shot.

Sometimes it takes time to find the car you want. It's not uncommon for some members here to take up to a year (or more) to find the "right" car. Keep at it. Patience is good when looking for a clean NSX.

I echo the sentiments. Keep at it! I went through over 6 months and over 14 NSX's before I found the one I have. It's worth the wait. Just be sure to know exactly what you want and keep looking.

Thank you for the tip, tend to have a problem with that site and Mozilla. Guess right now I'm short on luck AND time :redface:

Everyone has been so helpful here on Prime. Especially those of you (nsx1) whom convinced me to keep at it, just as I was settling for any NSX. Been checking the same sites over and over again; sometimes I guestion myself if the pursuit is even worth.

To date, I've driven 3 NSXs and have personally seen another 10 or so from AutoTrader/Cars.com. Believe me when I say a correlation exist between sale price and owner abuse.

If anyone knows of a Spa Yellow, White, Black, on a NA2, please PM me.
Thanks for everyone's feedback, guess I'm just frustrated and babbling about nothing.

Took just about 2 years for me... I had been looking for a '97 Spa Yellow in the 45-50 range... The ones that popped up that fit the bill sold really fast and one guy decided not to sell his after all. I finally found one here in my back yard (Mesa, AZ), so no sales tax and it had a couple of extra mods that I don't mind at all. A word of encouragement: it was totally worth the wait.

Your halfway there...don't give up! It is amazing when you get to bring one of these cars home. It is a mind altering event.

Jerry don't give up yet! You've gone pretty far already! Besides, maybe you'll give me the extra motivation to get myself a perfect NSX for myself too :biggrin:
Hope to see you around sometime soon again!

It'll be worth your wait. :biggrin: In the mean time you can save up for the fun bolt ons...:biggrin:

 

[mcano]

Dont give up! It is always frustrating when you want some real bad and you can't quite get your hands on it. It took me about six months. I waited 8 months for the first RX-7 came out.

Keep at it, you will be glad you did!

take your time. you'll find the one your looking for sooner or later. :smile:

Such a welcoming community Prime is. I thank each and everyone for all the encouragement.

As of today 11/07, have zero prospects and no new leads for a Spa Yellow NSX; Prefer pre-2002's. If someone knows one out there, please PM me.

It took me over a year to find mine. Good luck.
