The story of this 1996 ACURA NSX-T (JH4NA1285TT000234) according to our interpretation of the information reported to CARFAX:
This coupe has had 7 owners and was owned in California. It was originally registered as a commercial lease vehicle. The leasing company actually owned this vehicle and collected payments from a commercial company until the vehicle was sold or the lease expired. These vehicles are typically used for business purposes.
It was severely damaged and issued a Salvage and Junk title by a DMV. It was later issued a Rebuilt title by a California DMV, which allows for the vehicle to be repaired and returned to the road.
It has a consistent mileage history with no indication of an odometer rollback. It was driven an average of 7,906 miles per year, which is lower than the industry average of 15,000. The last odometer reading, reported on 09/05/2004, was 67,689 miles.
It was not reported to a DMV as a Manufacturer Buyback (LEMON).
Its basic warranty has expired. You may want to discuss an extended warranty with your dealer.
