No, No, No.... listen... you guys know my quailifications...8 NSX's and counting....blah blah blah... that being said, my words need to be taken seriously...
It is price...always is price. If it is the economy, then it is price... you have to be patient to get what you want (that being YOUR price). $65k is absolutely too high for that car, to the people who have seen the ad (placement)..as it is STILL available. $55k is far closer to what the car will ultimately sell for than $65k is. The cars fell out of MSRP range, right down through the $70's, then into the low $60's, mid to high $50's now. Drop in $5k increments, GET IT LISTED on Ebay, Prime, AutoTrader, etc... get your car with your needs to be reduced price, in front of as many people as possible. The more reads, simple math here, the greater the odds you will get offers, but be prepared to take an offer lower than you think. No matter what, every car I have ever had (all the NSX's, Ferrari, Porsche, Z06, etc.. they ALL lose money) Ferrari being the only exception, and ONLY in perfect scenario (RED car, ZERO mods, less than 5k miles TOTAL on the car, etc). Also, no one throw up the fact that used Ferrari sell more than new..that is only because Ferrari does not allow over sticker pricing on NEW cars, but on a used car (you know, the ones with 10 miles on them, yet they are used...) then it is "market price". I have been victim of, and capitalized on, the Ferrari exception to the rule... but this rule does NOT apply to NSX or really any other car that I know of first or second hand. (Ford GT was close, but ultimately, recently, now, it is complying to the rules of sports car resale)
If you still have the car, then the car, as it is built (color, options, miles, etc) at the price it is....is too high. Drop the price by at least 10-20%, directly or via 2 drops (1 every 7-10 days) and it will go. Time on market, like a home, will hurt you, so take it off if you need to..for a few weeks...then repost at new price. Keep in mind, sweet spot for 2002+ cars is in the $50's right now... nothing to speak of worth anything more (spare the potential for a factory warranty) in a 2005 (left over 2004's) vs the 2002 car.... THIS is why our resales are all over the place. Only 2 major (noticed by everyone from 10ft) visible changes in the 14 year production (13 years actually..)..so only we NSX fools can tell what is what..most first time buyers are looking lower $$, those with sub 2002 cars, are looking for a 2002 only, and anything newer is just a bonus, but not worth much more $$ at all.
I hope you sell your car...I have sold my 7 cars (8th is IN the garage) on Prime and Ebay..only once through my dealer...so, practice, practice, practice, and LOCATION (ad placement) location..location.
OK, flame(s) on!
