Silver '91 manual - just appeared and disappeared

[goldtop]

Are you the buyer Goldtop?

Nope. I was called mid-afternoon and the first news was the price hike - as predicted (although not quite 18995+3260!). I said I'd rearrange tomorrow morning's appointments so I could come over straight away to see it. Then I got a call back and was told that, actually, if I wanted first option I would have to pay a £500 deposit RIGHT NOW.

I'm not open to being played quite so brazenly as this, so in the words of Duncan Bannatyne, "I'm oot".

So I'm still looking.

Shame. The yellow targa looks interesting at 22k

Well nothing too shocking to read lol as predicted it would raise in value,

Personally I would have the yellow car long before this one.

[nobby]

Agreed (but biased)

I can't believe the yellow car is still available based on the no of people wanting a good clean manual variant

Mad!


hopefully the new owner of silver car makes themselves known to forum

Hi everybody,

I am the person who has just bought this NSX.

Does anybody know a good independent specialist who knows these cars well in the Grantham area, or willing to travel to the Grantham area?

Also, does anyone know anything of the history of this car? It is still on its original registration plate: H870 ARR

Here is a picture I found on the internet of this car at the Silverstone Classic on the 25th July 2010:

Thanks in advance for any useful information.

Hi And welcome to the club!

Bit curious as to why you need an independent specialist already, seeing as the dealer mentioned it was going to have allot of work completed before its sold?

Hello again,

The car has finally been approved and does need some work. To get started:

ABS Pump
75,000 miles service, inc;
Oil Filter
Spark plugs
Timing Belt
Brake Fluid
all filters
4 new Bridgestone tyres
new battery including earth strap Trunk stays and openers
new steering rack end
12 months MOT
A/C Decontamination

Total bill to me of £3260.98

The car is going back on the internet now. Due to extensive work needed to get it to Honda Approval standards the car will be advertised at £23995.00

any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

Regards,

Michael.

Being a total cynic, I would check all that has been mentioned above has been done before you pay up in full!

BTW. Welcome and congratulations on securing the fastest colour NSX.

I know nothing of the car or its condition, equally I know nothing about the dealer.
The Dealer said. . ."Total bill to me of £3260.98. . . including 4 new Brigestone tyres". . . .
A check on the Lings website will show that as a HUK parts, for H870ARR, a set of 4 specified tyres would set you back a total of £5,446.96. At £1,221-90 each for the fronts and £1,501.58 for each of the rears those tyres must be very special and/or the dealer discount very, very significant.
Notwithstanding an introduction to HUK parts pricing, welcome and enjoy the car.

Congrats on your purchase. We went and had a look at this car on Saturday as it is where we have ours serviced. They are a very good garage and look after a few NSX's, they have a rare breed of technician there, a qualified NSX guy called Dave. when we spoke with them on Saturday the car was booked in for a full check over by Dave today to find and rectify any issues.
We had a good look around the car and through all the paper work it had, what a good buy this car is! Body is really straight with hardly any stone chipping on the front, no sign of any oxidisation on the body anywhere we could see, full tool kit and original spare. Their is a bit of wear on the bollster on the driver seat but the leather is not torn and the bollsters are still solid.
And as a bonus you should get a full year warrenty with the car.
Happy motoring and hope to see you at a few meets.

Regards Ian

Congrats to the new owner of this silver one.

Owner has already sold the yellow targa one.
