Thanks for all the input guys. After waiting on serveral factors, I won't need to sell my car. I'm glad I get to stay with the NSX family. :smile:

What do you think my car is worth?

Looks great, the only concern is the snap ring. If you get it preemptively repaired I'd think you can probably get 30 for it if you can wait for the right buyer. If not, I'd expect 26-28k (the lower the quicker you want to get rid of it). Also, the mods aren't going to fetch you much. You may be better off returning the car to stock and selling the mods (especially wheels) separately. Just my $0.02.

I agree with this price range, $25-28k as-is, $30k with a snap-ring repair and full service. This is factoring in a $2k premium for the color, and assuming the car has a clean history report.
The mods don't really affect these figures, it will fetch this with or without them, so parting out what you can makes sense.
The car will need 17/18's with the body kit, so you could part them out if you have the time, but you would need to find a replacement set of aftermarket rims. I would definitely part out the wing, probably the exhaust and steering wheel as well. Doing so would fetch an additional $2500.
There's no premium for a white car vs any other color. As with any other rare color, you could try holding out looking for that one rare person willing to pay an above-market for that color; you might find him, but it's just as likely that the car would never sell, because it won't fetch any premium from the vast majority of buyers who are only interested in red or black or some other color.
The same way as the rare color, the mods drastically reduce the market for the car. You may be lucky enough to find someone who wants exactly those mods, but it's equally likely that you'll have more trouble selling it because most buyers won't even consider a car with substantial mods.
The good news is, you can always put it up for sale at an optimistic price, and see if you get any interest; if not, you can always lower the price later to help it sell.
I haven't been in the market or keeping close tabs lately. I did go out surfing the net last weekend, checking some of the online car sites and was surprised to see how many NSX's were listed above $30k, closer to $35k or higher (early NSX's)
I'm not sure if that means the market is crawling up or not. Possibly because the average new car prices have an average above $30k now?
Some people will advise avoid a Snap-Ring range car at all costs. So if you can get documentation it has been fixed, it might help. Some people may not know about the issue. Not all cars in the range will have problems, it is a gamble and something to keep in mind.
A potential buyer can consider the cost of a fix or replacement transmission and factor in the cost in making an offer. Most people will try to negotiate down from an asking price.
Personally the snap ring isn't a deal breaker. Two cars being fairly equal, I would pick a non snap ring range car. But your car looks nice, well cared for, and is GPW. Which appears to be a very desirable color for many. There are members who have held out for quite some time in search of a GPW NSX.
I'm not much help with giving you a good answer on what to ask for you car though if you decide to sell. I would watch the asking prices on-line, watch what cars are selling for on e-Bay, etc.
I suspect there are those here on Prime who have been in the market recently who will be able to give you some good answers. The ones above seem to be in the ball park I remember the market for an NSX.
Maybe somebody on prime will see this thread who wants a GPW car and will give you an offer you find acceptable.
Good luck.

FWIW, I'm not one of them. The snap ring condition can be fixed by replacing the snap ring itself and half of the transmission case. It should cost somewhere around $2K.
Just take both with a grain of salt. Just as the prices in listings are asking prices and some may represent wishful thinking on the part of sellers (others just providing a cushion from which to negotiate), NSXs on eBay typically sell for significantly less than market prices for cars sold elsewhere. And it can be even more difficult to find actual prices for a heavily modded car like this one (which are often, but not always, less than an otherwise-similar bone stock car).
Do you have any of the OEM parts? Like Scorp said in order to recoupe the $$$ you got to take off the mods and sell them separately. The more you take off the more $$$ you get back out of it.
I would probably list it for $28K with as little mods as practical considering your time and energy.
I wish I was ready to jump into another NSX I would buy it as it is. Very tasteful IMO. Good Luck!

If I saw it advertised here on Prime i'd expect it to be priced between 26 and 29. I would expect it to sell between 24 and 27, both assuming it was not a snap ring car. I have no idea how much a dealer would part with or how much you might be able to get through cars.com or autotrader.com.
Knock off 500 because it is...IF the issue has been fixed and you have documentation.
I don't know what it might go for as is but personally I wouldn't pay more for it than 25 minus the cost taking care of the snap ring issue.

Velocity has a great program called..."What is my car worth?". I'd love to see your car on that show!!!!
I don't know, if I was in the Market still.... I'd give you 30K for it.
Prime member Yintzer would be VERY interested in this car. We always discuss NSX via PM and JUST YESTERDAY he mentioned wanting a car almost to this exact spec... color, TB/WP... the works.
http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showthread.php?t=158496
Teej is looking to collect his finder's fee. Looking for a solid white coupe that is basically OEM or can be taken back to near-OEM, with a very clean interior, and with the usual allowable exceptions of comptech headers, minor suspension mods, and any magic sprinkles by Brian K and/or Hugabuga...
Willing to pay a reasonable premium for white for the right car, not afraid to state that.
But to respectfully not veer from the thread topic: respond to my PM and we'll discuss what I think it's worth.
Thanks guys. I'm waiting for a few things to determine if I really need to sell it or not. It's been a hard decision to try to make. I'll keep everyone updated.

this...
Four scenarios...
i. Address the snap-ring issue, list it for $32.5k. Take any reasonable offer over $29.5k for it.
ii. List it as-is for $31.5k. Take any reasonable offer over $28.5k.
iii. Remove mods/accessories to return to stock best you can. Address snap-ring issue. List it for $29.5k. Take any reasonable offer over $27.5k. Add up to ~$7k+ to that in terms reselling of mods/accessories.
iv. Remove mods/accessories to return to stock best you can. List it for $28.5k. Take any reasonable offer over $26.5k. Add up to ~$7k+ to that in terms of reselling of mods/accessories.
Mods/accessories...
Price: ask/accept - Part
+ $250 / $175 - WW front lip
+ $250 / $175 - Sports diffuser (Mode4/Dali/NRG-Synergy?)
+ $750 / $500 - Stacy side-skirts
+ $625 / $500 - DF rear
+ $625 / $500 - Momo steering wheel with type r horn (hub/release?)
+ $1k / $750 - DF type R wing
+ $2.25k / $2k - Volk ce28 17x8+38 hi disk & 18x9.5+34 w/Falken RT615 tires
+ $1k / $850 Ap-x exhaust w/test pipe
+ $1.25k / $950 - Comptech headers (non-flex?)
+ $1k / $900 - Tein Flex coilovers
= $8k in parts "asking price" & recoup ~$7k+ in actual selling price
{approx' prices listed just to serve as reference points}

Start with 30k, take 28k... That seems more than fair, I've seen a lot less go for more.

exactly.
in general if you want the most money part the upgrades individual and sell it as stock as possible. this way you will likely make the most on it.

I wouldn't consider that car "heavily modded", not to mention most of the mods are very tasteful, even desirable, and, for the most part, simple bolt-ons. If a buyer doesn't want them all, they are easy to remove and replace. The car is worth $30K as is IMO.
True, you may net more $ by removing some, replacing with stock (presuming you have them) and selling those parts separately. GLWS... nice car.
I agree...
I think the car is easily worth $30-32,000, perhaps even more to someone looking for a white NSX with a nice set of wheels, ground effects, exhaust, etc.
I would definitely start in the high 30s after ring issue is fixed. Personally, I just bought my NSX few weeks ago, I would have done anything possible to buy your car. A guy that knows about upgrades and how expensive they can get would definitely buy your car. The white color is a major plus!!! Hang in there pal you are in control, after all you are the one whose got the car. Good luck !!!
Any of you big spenders interested in a BB over ivory with 81K miles, mostly stock with double-din nav, all original spare, toolkit, etc, original paint, polished 16/17 oem forged rims, very fresh tb/wp, all new oem hoses, interior in great condition, good clutch, no grind, great master/slave, and not snap ring range?
Based on this thread somebody out there must be ready to drop 30K on it.
