NSX Type S/R prices

[goldnsx]

I haven't seen any Type S or Type R in the Japanese market since two years or so. Looks to me like they are kept in firm hands. What prices are they going for nowadays?

I know of one Type S in Japan advertised for 11milion JPY.
it is a 2000 car, having done 58,000 kms.
you can find it on the Japanese site kuruma-ex

There is also a very low mileage 1997 S-Zero on Pistonheads. Make sure you are sitting down when you look at the price!
i think that one is destined for an investor's collection rather than to be driven regularly.

There have been several Rs, S and S zeros for sale in Japan in the last 2 years or so, prices are very high. S zeros are the rarest but I have seen 2 in the last 2 years including the one currently on pistonheads and the other in a showroom in Japan in Autumn 2015.

I am aware of several Rs imported to the UK in the last 2/3 years - I have one a NA2 R imported 12 months ago.

The S zero NZNick refers to at is 230,000 euro and this is more than £260k on the road in the UK, the same dealer in Singapore has a low mileage NA2 R POA but it was previously listed at Euro 210,000 so a bit of bargain compared to the S Zero!! I think low mileage NA1 Rs will be obtainable for around half these prices.

I was looking on: http://www.goo-net-exchange.com/usedcars/HONDA/NSX/

Have the R/S gone to Singapur? Whenever I saw an R or S there was no price just 'ASK' or 'make an offer'. It would be interesting what kind of money they are looking for.

So to estimate prices for the UK a rough guide is:

1. convert to pounds with current exchange rate
2. add £5k for transport and shipping
3. Add 10% to the total of 1 and 2 and then add 20% Vat to that total.
4. Then you will need to pay for UK handling at the port and registration and probably want to get a good check over done plus a service and possibly timing belt/water pump, change. Say another £3 to 5k.

So taking the S at about 15m yen as an example the rough total is about £155k.

Shawn, thank you for the calcs. Dumb question, but how do I know the price - does 1480.0 in the link below equate to 14.8 million yen?

I'm very happy with my base NSX, but after watching Jethro's review of the R I'm desperately praying for £ to strengthen against the yen

Yes I believe that is how to interpret the numbers, and why I started with 15m.
