Sold my 05 Silverstone, and replaced it

[arista5]

I will start out by first saying thank you to Prime and a member whom I will not name that contacted me regarding a "wanted" post.

After this member sent me the information about the car I was looking for I immediately emailed the seller (craigslist). I then talked behind the scenes with a few other members on the board going over ideas, pricing and value of this car. I believe this is one of the rarest cars which is now on prime.

My new car is a 2005 NSX Imola Orange Pearl/Onyx (picture below taken at Ed Martin Acura awaiting its PPI)

Current Odometer has 8080 miles on the clock. Next to the 67 mile one in PA this is the lowest mileage Imola/Black and possibly the lowest mileage Imola that has been driven.

Beautiful car. With such low mileage, are you planning to drive it regularly or keeping the mileage low?

 

[shawn110975]

secrets are always bad.

some people on here would have paid triple for that car. do tell the old owner that :biggrin:

we are all jealous you lucky dog.

any other details about where the car has been stored all these years etc.

was it up on jacks in a barn?

I don't know if we'll be hearing alot from Mike today...I spoke with him last night, he took the day off from work today and will be spending the entire day with the car bringing it up to the "Arista5" standard. :tongue:

The Imola was actually owned by a very well off financial advisor in Indiana who bought the car approx 6-7 years ago because he "liked" it.

He knows no real history about NSX and is not even a car guy...he's a gun collector.

FYI-I spoke to the seller because if Mike couldnt get the car for the price he wanted...I was going to buy it....so that car was sold no matter what!
OOOOOOHHHHH I WAS SO CLOSE!!!!....jus kiddin....it went to the perfect owner.:biggrin:

Not sure if this is for real but this 2004 Imola Orange/Onyx has only 13 miles on it. With supercharger and other mods.

[shawn110975]

well that just blew the thunder out of this thread.

I hope the OP isnt kicking himself in tha butt cuz I am sure he paid close to this 13 miles one.

if its real, the asking price is way under what its worth. I think.

no secret deals here. someone needs to JUUUUUMMMMPPPPP on that.

damn I short on cash by about 50K LOL

now thats a low mile NSX.

 

[synth19]

Congrats and welcome to the Imola Club! Letterman jackets coming soon! :tongue:

 

[socold57]

on the imola thread he said he paid less than 65, so its no where near 79 lol

The description says it has 13 000 kilometers, not 13 miles. It would be nice to know the vin for this one...

 

[RobD]

on the imola thread he said he paid less than 65, so its no where near 79 lol

He didnt pay less than 65k...but he didnt pay anywhere near the supercharged 04...that supercharged 04 is actually in Canada and I'm pretty sure the listing agent is French and struggled with the listing...it has 13,000 not 13 miles.

The cost to import that car after taxes and shipping would put it at close to 90k....if not more.

Could you post a direct link?

I saw that 2005 Imola Orange/Onyx deal last week. Would loved to have gotten that one and then sold my 2003. But timing was wrong for me.

 

[RobD]

Could you post a direct link?

Hey Paul...Mike never wrote that about his new Imola...he was making reference to his(I mean my:biggrin05 Silverstone as a price premuim comparsion on an old link....he didnt own the Imola when he wrote that.

I know, this is why I asked for the link Welcome to the Silverstone family .

I just called the dealer, they don't have this car anymore.
