HEY, I resemble that remark!
If this is the case, then the nsx is nothing more than a glorified corvette. Atleast the vette sells for what it's worth. It would also make our wonderful price determination grid someone came up with as utter garbage.
For what most of us pay for our cars, nsx land is the land of how we feel our cars are worth. If it wasn't, everyone kid on the block would ditch their new $20k civic for a piece. Passion has everything to do with the value of our nsx. It's possibly one of the only things it has left for it and keeps up the value where blue book does very little for us.

I should probably clarify what I meant to a certain extent.
"Passion" may affect the value of cars to the extent that a particular vehicle becomes more desirable to a segment of the car buying public and either demand outnumbers supply or it becomes "the flavor of the month" such as the Nissan GT-R. However, the "passion" of the owner does not increase the car's value.
My NSX may be worth $50k to me but if I wanted to sell it I would have to price it about $37k. My "passion" in putting 113,000 miles and 60 track days on it makes me "love" the car but that does translate to it having a higher value in the marketplace.

But this is where the nsx seems to be at now in value. Not what the book says but the trend we're creating in pricing and the trend is higher than book. We create the value of our car in the marketplace.
Maybe we need elaborate more on the difference between "value" and "worth"? Which can vary greatly. Sounds the same but actually a huge difference. Our value is fairly low, but the worth is much higher.

If this belongs to the owner of the dealership, he obviously doesn't need to sell this car.
He put the car up for sale to try to get a premium for it, and will probably only sell it for over 100k. That's his price. It's not like he needs to sell the car to buy another one and it's not like he needs the money. He can just leave this car for sale for as long as it takes to get the price he wants.
It seems possible that they did reject the 97k offer.
Meanwhile, the ad is attracting attention to his dealership (just look at all the attention we gave it).
Who knows. There may be someone out there somewhere who wants it badly enough and has the money to spare. Dubai comes to mind.
In a few years, I expect the prices to either hold or increase slightly. In 20 years+, I am sure this car will be a collectible.
I certainly don't expect the car to drop substantially in value. It's no longer produced. It's rare. It has exotic looks and has a niche following. It is one-of-a-kind. It has a history, and has sentimental appeal to those rich collectors.
On top of that, the NSX-replacement seems to be heading in another direction, and I don't feel like its emergence will affect our prices much. It is in a completely different price segment (160k+), front engined, V10, auto/manual transmission, etc.

I ain't crying, I hope they get their price.
"We" as in prime can asign any value we want to used nsx,that has little bearing on the entire nsx market at large simply because whether we like it or not the majority of buyer sellers are not nsx prime devoted humpy lovey nsx eat sleep nsx,like water for nsx kinda guys:tongue: So I'm with RSO I think Pike's Peak is suffering altitude induced pricing
But heck you can't catch fish without a net/line in the water.
I agree 1000% I hope that guy holds out for his 100,000 dollars. And I hope that news of that sale spreads and kicks up the value of all our cars. We wouldn't get low balled for our cars if we'd stop selling them for low ball prices. DON'T SELL YOUR CAR! If you do. DEMAND a premium for it. It does nothing but strengthen the community. There aren't many around, so if you're an owner, the ball is in YOUR court.
When I first saw this thread title I chuckled a bit too as it does sound a bit crazy but let's step back one second here and put things in perspective:
Owners who can shell out $80k for a sports car most definitely can afford an extra $20k. Value is all about perception of "did we get a good deal" and also scarcity.
Now let's take a high demand car like the GTR and with people paying $25k OVER MSRP it's nothing new for low volume hot cars. Just look at the Audi R8 STILL commanding $30k over it's $120k rough MSRP price. Most dealers only have one per year but at least the car is still in production!
Back to the NSX - if say a potential buyer wanted a 2004/2005 late model NSX in good condition + correct color/mileage, etc, they could NOT order one or even wait till the next production car. They would HAVE TO BUY FROM THE USED COMMUNITY and at this point, if I really wanted a say 2004 white/onyx NSX, I would have to pay what the previous owner wanted
So if MSRP is $89k, the dealer asking $105k is a mere $16k over MSRP - that's really chump change for a exotic car that is NOT EVEN MADE ANYMORE! Of course whether the dealer would actually get that sum of money is a different story all together but they have every right to ask that amount. It's not ludicrous or crazy as some of you are claiming if you put things in perspective.
At one point the GT3 RS market was commanding $50k over MSRP FYI....
It makes me proud to own one of the rarest of rare NSX's and quite frankly, it would take a HUGE sum of money or gun-point for me to give up my NSX. Reason being is that there is really no other car I want on the market right now so if I do sell this NSX I have to think about how much I have to dish out for my next ride. If I had to write my own check for a car, I would not ever go over $150k unless I hit the lottery.
Heck this just makes late model NSX owners happy in that our cars will be worth more down the road than now.

Based upon this email I just received, it would appear that their "offer" of $97,000 was fictional:

Someone from Dubai will buy it! $100K car is chump change over there. It'll probably re-surface on Prime shortly after the new owner installs lambo doors and a hot pink paint job.
You guys laugh but I paid close to that for my 2 year old 02 with 6k miles on it back in 04. NSXs are expensive here. But then again the going rate to sell an 02+ in Canada TODAY is still about $75k+ USD.
Exactly!! When I listed my silver 1996 Ellison NSX-T 5 months ago here for $55k, everyone thought I was NUTS! I ended up selling it for a little less than that...People pay for what they want regardless.
Bahyou Canadians and your monoply play currency..........Lesbos!!!
Thanks doc. I just spit water all over my laptop b/c of that quote.
That my friend, is very sig worthy.
And now we have the Avatar to go with that sig! That is very creative!

PP Acura clearly stated "in the free world" which does not include certain African countries. Perhaps there is another planet where we can buy a new NSX.
now, they have dropped the price to 97,595. hmmmmmm. a 3400 decrease. now do you still believe that it will worth over 100k. dont be fooled. supra4nv selling his 2005 rio yellow for 80k with similar mileage.
if no one buying it in the next 3 months, they will probably lower to 90k.
also, another 2005 blue one shows up. only 9000 miles, selling for 56300.
if you try to rush, you will pay much more. NSX is rare, but it doesn't mean that it's going to be the last one in this world.

If they do sell it in the next 3 months, it won't be to someone local. The snow will start to fly around then and these cars will be parked for the winter.
