Service cost tidbit for those considering another exotic

[Hugh]

Solution to Ford GT door space parking issue. Get a handicapped permit. End of problem.

Only you and God will know that the sciatica is in your imagination. Now before all of you Politically Correct candy ass types go jumping on my back. This is the real world, not some Polyanna fantasy land you might think you live in and in the real world you do what you have to to get things done.

The main issue seems to be this:
Even dealers sitting on 05's are either foolish enough to think they can still get $15000-$40000 over MSRP

LOL

2006 Brand New Red Gt for $7000 off sticker

For Sale: New 2006 Black Gt with NO MAC for $4000 off msrp!

Wholesalers are already shopping brand new cars to the various independent exotic dealers here in South Florida at around $125K

It won't be long before I get my car at $100K.

Patience is a virtue.

I have seen that guy posting there before and he seems legit. The local dealers here are crazy though. We have a 05 Red with all options that the dealer wants $185K for, a 05 blue (no top stripes, but the other three options (and I love this car!) for $161 which is only a little over MSRP, and a 06 Tungsten with standard wheels and calipers, but with stripe and mac and I am not sure they are even wanting to sell it.

And they'll the same pain that holders of Krispy Kreme stock did a couple of years ago and current holders of Apple stock are going to feel in the near future.

This is very good information.
Please tell me what is the average maintenance cost for an NSX.

I am on the lookout for one am very curious. I think I read one time that parts are hard to come by incomparison to S2000.

Thanks

Ps. where is the best place to search for a used NSX?

 

[Hugh]

The NSXs For Sale forum here on Prime is by far the best resource for locating a pre-owned NSX.

Parts are not a problem and maintenance is not excessive. I drive my car about 40,000 miles per year. The timing belt and water pump need to be replaced every 100,000 miles or 7 years at a cost of about $2000 for parts and labor. The car is not easy on tires so depending on how much you want to spend for those, consider them a frequent consumable.

Most of the car's issues are minor and fall under the DIY category and are all explained on this site in the FAQ or the DIY forum.
