Many of the issues in your pictures are quite common on an older NSX that hasn't been refreshed or had parts replaced. The ripped seat bolsters, worn interior leather, ripped sun visors, and cracked front parking lights all happened to my NSX while owning it. None of those items are indicative of abuse.The misaligned pop-up headlights is super easy to fix. When I installed HIDs in my car I had the same problem. If you're not super careful how you place the pop-up covers back on, it will look misaligned like that. Perhaps the a previous owner removed the popup covers at some point in order to install HID? The spider web crack in the paint on the front is a sign of stress. My guess is that the car was lightly bumped into in a parking lot.It's normal for an older NSX engine to generate a bit of a clicking noise. As long as its not excessive, it's likely not an issue.It's normal for the oil pressure gauge to appear to be reading zero when the car is warmed up and idling.What I would be most concerned about is the non-functional AC. You really need to find out why it's not working. If the compressor has seized and contaminated the entire system with metal shards the cost to properly repair will be very high. In the worst case scenario an Acura dealer may quote you as high as $8000 to fix. Definitely get a PPI and if you learn that AC system needs expensive repairs you can use that to negotiate a lower price with the seller. You might be able to get a really good deal on this car.
