What did you pay for your car?

[NSX100]

Hi MC,

It is quite possible that the low response levels are not down to shyness but more to do with the simple fact that the majority of owners at some point have stated that their NSX is a long term ownership prospect. For this reason alone price paid or potential market value is of little or no interest until the time does arrive to let these special cars move on to a new keeper.

There is also the other factor that is a natural instinct that regardless of the article, people want to undervalue when buying and then inflate when selling.

Guide prices have been posted previously, and will again, but in the end will be down to the obvious basics ...

History, Condition, and buyers appetite. When I bought mine over 8 years ago I had spent several months deciding what I wanted. A dark coloured NA2 Targa, pre facelift. The car I bought met these requirements and I paid what I was happy to pay. At the time it was probably higher than some would pay, but it was what I wanted. What's it worth, today I don't know, maybe £10k more than I paid in stock presentation, maybe not, but as I'm not selling its not really relevant.

regards, Paul

I tend to agree with Paul. Like him I wanted a pre-facelift low mileage, unmodified, NA2 targa and finally got it after a 3 year wait. I count 5 others on this forum and I doubt there are many more in the country so very rare. I paid the price I wanted to pay from an extremely nice previous owner and the car has been carefully Kazzified ever since at some expense to get it in perfect condition. Would I get my money back - easily and with a profit based on current rising prices. Do I care? No, since I have no intention of selling. When I see how inferior cars like the Ferrari 308 are soaring in price I take it as indicative of the speculative nature of the market and not a reflection of a car's real intrinsic value as a joy to own and drive. If someone wants to buy an NSX since it appears undervalued in today's increasingly frenetic market to sell on at a profit, fine. This car deserves to appreciate but I would suggest that most of the members of this forum who are current owners don't care.

Yawn. Another thread on here about prices and values. Next we'll be debating the wisdom (or not) of modifying our cars. Double yawn.

Jsut as well we are both OEM addicts or we'd be in for an ear-bashing

Sorry. I did look for a similar one on historic values but couldn't find one. I didn't want to repeat a thread, post a link to the most complete list on confirmed historic values and I'll add my details there.

Bought in 2011, 17.5K miles on the clock, paid £44K. I did toy with selling earlier this year due to lack of use, and would have been looking for £60K+. But I'm soooo glad I saw the light and decided to keep it. I've had an incredible summer with it - new clutch totally transformed the driving experience.

I still can't believe the LBBP on PH hasn't sold. If I didn't already have mine, I would have jumped at it a long time ago. In 10-20 years time, surely its current 61K miles will be totally irrelevant?

what is actually wrong with it?
has anyone even gone to view that is interested in NSX ownership?
