auto or manual? high mileage?

if that red 02 has been professionally repaired it wouldn't bother me, sounds a nice car and possibly a minimal impact,
just parts are expensive hence as said above gets categorised due to the price. but then its a super car so you'd
expect them to be that price?

Although... as the silver car thread shows, even a Honda repair - presumably to standards and QC way beyond what a conventional car would get - is simply not enough to stop some buyers avoid the car.

There's a few LHD's in France currently available......see this link: http://www.leboncoin.fr/voitures/offres/midi_pyrenees/occasions/?o=1&q=nsx

Good choice if you can live with LHD. Almost all around 100,000km interestingly

The '93 black one on page 2 looks interesting....only 83K kms = 53K miles.....all original apart from painted wheels. Not too far from the UK either.

No, no, no. If I was happy with a LHD manual NSX, I'd be biting this guy's hand off:

If you go for an auto take care to test the automatic gearbox and watch how the previous owner has driven it. I recall quite a lot of auto gearbox failures. I don't think it's the gearbox itself but the owner trying to keep up with a manual and driving it hard. For me, an auto is not meant to be driven like an manual or in a very sporty manner. In permanent city driving it certainly has its advantage. But even then a manual is that too.

You've mentioned in your initial post that you want a manual, so I would not compromise at all. Higher mileage is not a problem at all if all the maintainance has been done and I don't mean a full booklet with HUK stamps but the quite long list of things that expect to be repaired after 15-20 years.

RHD or LHD? I'd never buy a car that has been built for the wrong side of the road. Only one exception: if an English has only been built RHD and I couldn't sleep one feet below groud-level before having owned one.

Give yourself a little bit more time. The market changes very slowly. But it can change for you pretty fast if the right car turns up for sale.

Good luck!
