What did you pay for your car?

Some fair comments there but I think it can work both ways. I've listened to Challenge Stradale owners talk up the value of their cars for the last 4 years or so. They all say they aren't selling and they are all quick to tell a story of the latest example going for a new high price. Maybe that's what we should be doing in this thread ;)

The insurance issue is easily resolved with an agreed value policy. I've done that as I think mine is at the higher end of the spectrum due to originality and milage and I don't want them taking the average of whatever is on the market at the time.

1999 NSX 3.2 Coupe Orange bought 2005 for £25K with 33K miles
1994 NSX-R Green bought summer 2006 for £ 31K with 30K miles I believe
1993 NSX Silver coupe manual bought summer 2007 for £16.200 with 99K

With regards to my car I have been transparent from the beginning with the issues it has and the fact it will take a shed load of money to get right. If I ever was to sell it (which will not be happening) I couldn't hide what I know about the car. I wouldn't want to hide the issues even if they have been resolved.

I am just lucky that this car came along when it did as the reality is I was being priced out of being able to afford an NSX. As for the insurance, I have an agreed value which is way, way off what a 1999 NSX would be available for today but I am happy with that.

It was the same story with the Porsche 911. I had been after a 964/993 Turbo for years but each time I got priced out and most of the time by owners talking up the value of their cars as T1LTU has mentioned above. In the end I did get a Porsche 996 C4 but its no classic turbo!!!

The thing is that to a lot of people the car is an investment and they get all wrapped up about it. To me the NSX was always about performance, and where it lacked it I gave it to it via SC, Cars are different things to different people. Just enjoy the car and dont worry if it goes up or down in value! Just look at bitcoin LOL!

I will update the table when I get to the computer. If anybody is concerned that their car is not represented, put in your details. This isn't about resale or aspirations, just what you paid at the ttime.I like to think I am not biased. I love the NSX, but I love my other 6 as well.

Hi, I purchased my 1992 UK spec Formula red NA1 NSX manual coupe in 1998 for the princely sum of £21,000, mileage then was 46000 now it's on 136000
I was the 7th owner of this beautiful car and I appear to be the only owner to fall in love with it as it seemed to have changed hands every year until I fell for its charms and I have no plans ever to sell it. :)

Thank you very much to everybody who has replied to this, it looks like it is starting to get somewhere. I know there is some resistance as it is thought that this is self-selecting and biased. The best way to remove any bias and make this even more useful is to make sure that any purchases or sales you have made are included. Remember, it doesn't matter whether you were buying or selling, the price is still the same so it is still equally valid. If you are on your third NSX you would have 5 valid reference points (unless you neglect to sell the first two cars :) ).
