Ready to pull the trigger

[skillz4587]

I have been searching for an NSX for over 8 months. I have had a few missed opportunities for an NSX but I have tried to be patient. I have my financing secured and I have my eye on a few cars and I would like some opinions.

The first NSX is local and I have a local mechanic that can do a PPI but would still like some input. Pictures can be located at http://www.tropicalmotorcars.com/inventory/ab-show.php?listid=119731041559676&p=5&s=make ASC&page=1

The other is from an nsxprime member so I am pretty sure it has been well cared for.

The third one is located at http://www.diamondlot.com/cgi/info.exe?bc=3450225&dealer=BESTBET
**It was initially advertised as being supercharged but the advertisement no longer mentions superchargered. **

Thanks in advance.

3 very different examples?

Are you sure you know exactly what you want?

 

[skillz4587]

Yes, know I will be doing some mods to the car which was why I was considering the 3rd one but at that price I suspect that the supercharger may not have been installed properly which may mean engine problems later on. As far as the other two it is a toss up because I do like both colors but as far as the targa versus coupe I have read the positives and negatives with each. But I am pretty much indifferent. The main thing I am looking at is the overall condition of the vehicles.

Buy the second one. He's a member here.:smile:

 

[MisterNSX]

The second one is the best deal. The third one turns me off...lots of electrical, interior & body mods that don't look professional.

#2 for sure

I would leave the silver car alone rear end has been painted and was possible previously supercharged, interior looks choppy. Here are a few i found in craigslist.

Don't know about the history If your interested let me know I can take a look and give you an idea. If you are picky then broaden your search to nationwide.

1. 91 67k for $28k
http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/car/551569352.html
2. 93 $29 84k roof painted updated wheels
http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/car/557378939.html
3. 92 48k $30k
http://baltimore.craigslist.org/car/530730723.html

 

[Dtrigg]

First one states 3.2?? Check that out.

Also this lovely example 97..

1. http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/car/556233059.html

2. 91 $34k 70k miles LA

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/car/559077302.html

3. 92 $35k 68k miles wants 99 996 as trade.lol

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/car/554451433.html

4. 91 $33k 52k miles

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/car/553622386.html

Looks like 91-92 are commanding top dollar when clean.

STAY AWAY FROM #3


Did anyone notice????? It's a 5 speed, but the gauge cluster is from an AUTO??? I doubt those are the actual miles...

#2 would be my choice as well. It depends on how you feel about the color though.

Good Luck,

I doubt the first one has a 3.2, since the pictures show black valve covers. I think they changed to red for the NA2.

I agree, stay away from #3, but it according to the vin, it's actually an automatic. That thing looks like it has a poser manual shifter on it.

[skillz4587]

Thanks for the advice. I will definitely remove #3 off my list. I will be checking out #1 this weekend with my mechanic and see if I can get in touch with the owner about #2.

Thanks again.

That dealer must not know jack about nsx's, 91's had 3.0 c30a blocks, not the 3.2 c32b. If he dosent even take the time to figure out wether this car has the stock motor in it or wether its been swapped to a 3.2 then i'd stay away from it. If it has been a swapped 3.2 in a 91, then state that and be honest with your customers.

But I bet that your car didn't come that way from the factory. :smile:

From SOS:
Convert your valve covers to the same color of the red 3.2L valve covers used in 1997 & later NSXes.

Thanks you all for your comments, help and wealth of knowledge. I really do appreciate it. I finally got my car on Saturday. Interior needs work(Seats) but mechanically the car checked out, got a pre-purchase inspection prior to purchase and then took it in for a more thorough inspection yesterday. Thanks again for all of your help. I will be posting pictures later on.

Which one did you end up getting? 1, 2, 3, or something else?
