    Hi and welcome,

    That car is an import so it may not have full history.

    Thanks Sudesh I saw the square number plate pressing and assumed that would be the case. I was hoping it may have been known to one or two members

    I wouldn't say it's a bargain, but also wouldn't say it's too badly priced.

    The interior is.............. interesting to say the least.

    Hi and Welcome to NSXCB,

    Nice looking car that would benefit from Sudesh's carpet treatment. Looks to have an after market exhaust as well.

    Price is in the sweet spot for a well documented auto and with that mileage (if certified) you could add plenty more without hitting its value.

    Check the obvious things and take a copy of the buyers guide (printable from this website) to help you check it all over.

    Good luck

    regards, Paul

    Red face

    The guy at Autec says it was a local car taken in PX. Since it was imported in May 08 the owner has serviced the car with them, they supplied the wheels & tyres. But it appears no more info.

    Sudesh thanks again - The ad says 1994 M reg. I will raise the point with the Garage. Could there be any reason for this error in description I assume they would have taken the details off the V5.

    I live some distance away from the seller, but am planning to go on Thursday, I have printed off the "check list" in readiness.

    Its definately a 1991 car

    A few reasons for this are:

    1. Centre arm rest is the old style, it was updated in 1993 to the dual opening one
    2. The ivory interior was also dropped in late 1992/93 for TAN
    3. The rear fire wall color was also changed in cars that came with tan/red etc interior. So went from being black to interior color.

    But the most important thing is the chassis number, on this car it's 1000791, which on my JDM parts system comes up as a 1991 car, I have also double checked it with my friend who own a Honda dealership and he has also said its a 1991 car.

    As the car doesnt have a documented history, you may want to budget for things like, timing belt change, coolant hose replacement, inspect the drive shafts and boots and so on.
