What's the best choice?!!!

[Testacojones]

This are the most expensive cars that from the list that I like, from what I found on eBay and NSXprime. Can decide on which and don't know the real market. I need to make up my mind or take a good old cold shower.

I think over priced,

The only pop up headlight NSX in the list,

Vin check needed on all and a PPI required, but with saying that I would go for the last one. I'm a sucker for the pop ups and the addition of the ctsc it's win win. Some of the other colors are more limited, but if I was writing the check you got my vote.

Well looking at your sig, money is not really an issue, so I would go with the silver 2005 and put a supercharger on it.:biggrin:

The 98 is a great deal and looks to be a beautiful car. The Ctsc is fantastic. Make sure you do a compression check and leak down test if you buy a fi car.

 

[PHOEN$X]

Such a difficult decision. What colors do you prefer? I love them all, but am especially partial to the blue and silver. And of course I limited my selection to the popups, but you don't seem to care as much about that as I do. I guess I'd go for the one in the best condition with the lowest miles, and is reasonably priced.

Good luck and hope you find your car soon!

If you want the modern look get the blue 04 :biggrin:

I like the first one on the list modern looks and supercharger done.

Interesting list of prospective purchases. I would focus on:

http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showthread.php?t=158357

For the following reasons:

1) New model with upgrades from the factory already in-place.
2) Besides white red is 2nd most in-demand color and with black interior a
solid combo.
3) The starting price is closer to a purchase price that is competitive for this
car and so negotiating not as big a leap.
4) CTSC a MUST IMHO on this car. It is the difference between a very good
car and a GREAT car.
5) Low miles.

The seller has not indicated that timing belt/water pump etc has been done.
I would automatically reduce the price offered (around 3K) by this amount.
I would think a target price of around $54-55K is quite reasonable for both parties.

Those sellers with lofty beliefs that they can price the car for the that one buyer who makes an emotional decision as contrasted to a calculated good purchase are what you are seeing. If a seller wants to make a sale, price that car VERY close to what your BOTTOM line is and just say FIRM.
IMHO that is best for ALL parties.

Good Luck!!!

Based on your current inventory, the 98 seems to be a great fit for you!

Thanks guys I'm meditating on your posts. By the way I have to change my signature, I have owned those cars and sometimes two at a time, but things aren't as green anymore and I'm down to a 2010 GT3 and my two kids, but my freedom is priceless!!! All I have to say is that now I can remain forever single, but I want to find a girl that shares my passion for cars, music, arts and xbox live, lol...

I'm all for that blue color and blue is my sons favorite color too, he's only five and really is into cars. I wonder why it has the Comptech placard on the motor picture? Was this car supercharged and had it removed? Anyway a full PPI with leak down will be in order with any purchase unless the car is stock and lower in miles. The only thing with this car is that they aren't really taking best offers, wonder if the price is fair with this mileage.

If I'm picking up on what happened correctly, it sounds like the former mrs. hit you hard. That always sucks to go through. Good luck on your purchase. Any of the NSX's you linked would make for an awesome ownership experience. Your kids will love the car as much or more than you will! BTW, happy hunting on your dream girl.

That car would be at the top of my list. Looks great.

The silver 05 has the lowest mileage, and is the last collectible year. That would be my choice but then I am biased.

Look at the stain under the engine cover though. What is that?

Kind of odd but it looks like there are two stains--they are in the same location but opposite sides and the one on the left is not as dark.

 

[tbromley]

Best deals are the blue with 61k miles at 48k and the Silver at 51k - if it were me I'd take the Silver for 51k - not over priced and good mileage for the bucks. Best color combo of the ones you posted unless you are really partial to blue. I love the tan interior of the blue one - some may not but...your choice.

The others are in my opinion a bit overpriced but low mile 05s are hard to come by. I personally don't think that they are worth a 12k+ premium. 20k + vs 40k miles - no way. The silver one with silver interior for 51k is a good deal. The blue would be if you really wanted a super charger. I personally do not, but others like that idea. I like the car OEM. They are plenty fast like that in my humble opinion. Some think they are slow - silly concept again imho. To each his own! Good luck!

What stain? Someone removed two stickers under there. Seriously if that's the worst you can find with this car then I think it's in fantastic condition. That certainly would not stop me from buying a car.

 

[PHOEN$X]

I haven't seen any stock NSX engine covers with stickers in both those locations, which is why I was confused. How do you know they were from stickers? I thought they were oil stains at first.

If price is not an issue get a color that had low production numbers, model year 1997-2001 (many major performance upgrades in this model year range, yet still with classic generation 1 look), with under 40k miles on it.. It is a tough combo to find and once you find one jump on it fast..:smile:

I like the 2003 NSX Silverstone. It reminds me of my friends 2003 NSX. Still cant believe he sold it right from under me back in 2010 for only 45k. It only had 20k miles on it perfect showroom condition.

If that's your friend I don't want to meet your enemies. LOL

There are three 1997-2001 cars in the USA with under 40k miles on www.cars.com. One car is a low production color on what looks like Monaco Blue, and the asking price is $68k, so if you are looking for one to collect this looks like a candidate.. The silver one is an Automatic Transmission, the red one looks like a possible bargain.. All cars in this model year range are particularly desirable as a future collectable, and now that the NSX has become a classic, I expect these model years to do very well.. The more of a rare color you can find, with a manual transmission the better, but you will pay more for the ones in the rare colors..

Thanks for the list. I live in Orlando and the red one looks pretty sharp.

Well I got hit super hard and then the Mrs. left, but almost empty handed without alimony nor child support because the kids are with me. I was really lucky with the outcome, but my field is in the home development, and the hit was like a tsunami, a tornado and an earthquake all at once. But I'm managing it all day by day. I'm getting closer to my next purchase!!!
