| depends on year and condition.. good condition 91s (USDM) usually about 38-45k. upwards in price for modified ones and even more the higher you go up in year. main thing to watch for is snap ring make sure its not in snap ring range. other then that make sure it gets inspected at an acura dealership and they should be able to tell you anything else. |

Yup, scam.
I paid a lot more for mine.
And they never rust, btw. Ever.
A 92 with 90k in good shape is worth about 35K-38K or so. |

| accept i no the guy and back home the population is 10,000 So doubtfull, Stuff like that isnt worth 2 much back home in the northwest of b.c but yah ill look more into it, might be a good swap vehicle for my Charger fund but thx for info guys much appreciated. |
|
|
| ehos |
DO IT! If you know the guy, and there's no lien on the car, and it's legit, what the hell are you waiting for?
For 6K a NSX is a good car. |
|
|
| 92_WhItE_H23 |
| i wouldnt believe it.. even if things dont sell for that much wherever it is, fact is the guy (if original owner) still probly payed like 80 or 90 grand for it so chances are he wouldnt sell it for 6 grand.. |

Yeah, that seems about right. Is it a Canadian car or USDM? |

Yeah, that's about right, if not a little cheap. 40,000 kms is a lot for an '04 though.
The '02+ models are very, very rare in Canadian dress; there's probably about 15 from 02 to 05 that were sold up here, so they're pretty much non-existant.
Got a link? |

That guy must be retarded. HALF price for a 3 year old NSX??? There's no reason he shouldn't be able to ask more.
That's insane.
On the flip side, a person would be crazy not to jump on that while the chance is given. |

It's USDM though... The only went for about 89K new in the States.
Up here they were 142K in '05 when they went out of production. |

| FYI, just because I didn't see anyone post it.. NSXs are all aluminum, if it was rusting, you would have more to worry about then the scam that this seems to be. |

if it actually is an nsx, and not a written off pile of scrap, i will drive up there this weekend and give him more than 6g. |

| No wonder they didn't sell. 140 thousand dollars for a car with 290 HP. Not to say they aren't great cars, but Honda should have put in a bigger motor or a blower to keep pace with the rest of the automotive world. |

| Welllll All critisism put aside i looked into it more turns out the car was one of them Japan shipments a while ago and hasnt had any conversions done he got it off an auction so i guess he got it cheap as far as i know one of those buy cheap oversea's import things at any rate he wants 6k so if someone could set aside there ego's and all that jazz and just let me know if it is actually a good deal, is it worth having it all redone to be legal here? i guess u need tires headlights all that jazz iunno ''never owned an import'' as well turns out the Diff is Messed on it as well but yah. Someone let me know thx,~Tom |

| and theres abit of rust on the rear panel he said and it shouldnt rust O.o so hmm and that picture before wasnt it i googled it and it looks the same as all the others but yah :S This is why i like domestic's they all rust.... :D |
|
|
| azn_fire_fly |
| even if he got it from Japan, the car should be more than 6000. The Honda NSX is still at least 20K in Japan. If it is a real Honda NSX for 6000, its a good deal. But the car shouldnt be rusting because its all aluminum |

Use common sense. The internet is a great tool...doesn't take much to do a little research. Even knowing nothing about these cars, one could find out everything they need to with a few clicks of the mouse.
Go to the autotrader, eBay, etc, etc and see what they are going for. If this car is selling for 25% of its value, there is a reason for this. Pretending that the owner doesn't know its value, or because of where its located is responsible for the low price is just stupid.
If its too good to be true, it most likely is. This is true for everything in life. If you saw an ad for a 2007 Ferrari for $20,000 would you buy it? :rolleyes: It wouldn't happen...

Weird things happen:P but in this case your probally right so thx, Didnt mean to try to start arguements over this. just wanted some Import enthusiasts opinions. |

Seriously, the engine alone is worth 6g or more.
I don't know how he got the deal, but a '91 NSX in fair condition is still going to cost at least 20g in Japan. I've researched importing them since they became available to bring over.
If all it needs is headlights, and a diff, I will buy it from you for 10g, and fly us both to Vancouver to pick it up. :) |

| hmm well iunno i cant really go look at it cuz im like 20 hoursa away from it i guess ill get a friend mabe to look at it this weekend, or sometime soonish im gonna go check out ur meet's this weekend ill just let u no wut i no about it then if u go? might be more suitable then the .net. sound good? |
|

| there's a difference between a kid not knowing a mustang is a shelby and a dude selling an NSX for 1/4 what it should go for. Its not like theres a higher model NSX that sells for way more and he thinks this is the base model. They're all expensive, and there is something fucked with it for 6 grand. |

Come find me at the meet this friday, I drive a red 1991 NSX with black wheels on it. I'd be glad to help you out in anything I can, but I can pretty much guarantee this is not a legit seller. |

The body panels will never rust, it's physically impossible for aluminium to rust. |

Well...technically aluminum does oxidize...but it's that hard coating of oxide that prevents it from further oxidizing unlike steel/iron. So yes, in short, aluminum should not be subject to the same pitting that is common of steel vehicle bodies.
Straight from wikipedia (search for Aluminum oxide):
Aluminum oxide is responsible for metallic aluminum's resistance to weathering. Metallic aluminum is very reactive with atmospheric oxygen, and a thin passivation layer of alumina quickly forms on any exposed aluminum surface.This layer protects the metal from further oxidation. |

being a sheet metal worker by trade this is correct hah.. however oxidization can resemble rust but this usually only happens when the aluminum is carved or scraped and the layer of oxide is scraped away. it will get rusty but the color is more white/grey compared to the usual red of rust. either way its very difficult for it to become like that unless its constantly being worn down and exposed to air (no paint or anodized coating) |

Or like stated about scraping off the protective layer.
Maybe he got into a accident and took forever to fix it, so he sanded the panel down, left the project for a few months, found some oxidization and sanded it down again, and etc. |
