there are some uniquenesses about the 02+ nsx
1) there were only around a 1000 made (in the us)
2) a very high percentage of these were purchased as leases, as acura was subsidizing the purchase of the car (sticker of 88k) by offering a too good to be true lease dead.
3) as a high percentage of these cars were originally leased, the people leasing them bought them and used them, daily driver, driven in rain weather etc, and put miles on them. compare this to the 91-93 cars where a significant percentage were bought and stored or at most were weekend cars.
4) the acura leases were 3 years but the owners could extend them and go month to month for an additional period of time.
What does all of the above mean/
- up until late 2009 monthly you were seeing a steady supply of 02+ nsxs coming off lease and being sold. There are now no 04/05 nsxs leased and thus very few coming up for sale.
also, it is harder to find a 02+ that has extremely low miles, original tires, non accident, all keys paperwork etc, as the cars that were driven, suffered bumps and bruises and then were sold or turned in, where the window stickers, extra keys, etc are often lost.
so, my prediction is that over time finding one of the 1000 02+ nsxs that has not been used as a daily driver, not been in any accident, has all original paint, and all keys, documentation is going to take some amount of patience.
on the flip side it should mean that you can find a good 02+ driver if the above are not that important to you.
