Hello James....are you currently resting between NSX's?

Yes, I think so. Maybe I’ll get back into one in the next couple of months. It’s always been the same. I think about buying something different, then when I do have the opportunity, I buy another NSX.
I think it’s probably a number of things; 1. When you haven’t got the money you’ll convince yourself there are lots of options. Then when you finally do, it sharpens your resolve and you realise the stuff you were looking at doesn’t make sense in some important way.
For me it’s the overall package, it’s buying something I relate to and understand in regard running costs, potential maintenance issues etc. the car I just sold needed some age related maintenance which I never previously had to worry about. Up until then I’d had mostly facelift cars which weren’t old enough to need capacitors, accumulators, regulators etc. however, the NSX I think is a pretty simple thing compared to much of the other stuff out there.
Anything McLaren, Ferrari or Lamborghini scares the hell out of me.
I did get a ride in an MP12c. It was brutal, but it’s just the fear of running costs. One medium sized issue and it would be stuck in the garage for 5 years.
So really a main criteria is depreciation. I’m not prepared to buy a ‘fun car’ that’s going to haemorrhage money.
The thing with NSX’s is there are fewer and fewer good cars. The dealers don’t even seem to prep them anymore. Half of them look like someone dragged them out of the ocean. It’s just lazy. I was looking at a car advertised the other day and it was expensive, but just terrible.
Anyway the answer to your question. Yes I hope so.
