NSX found, I need your help please

Hello everyone from sunny Spain!

[rsevo6]

Hi,

Welcome here, do get a NSX, it is a very special car to have.

Just in case it is of intrest to you, I have 2 NSX, one of these, a LHD silver 1998 Na2 NSX-T 3.2 6-speed is for sale in The Netherlands, one of the best in the country i'm told by several NSX specialists.

If this is possibly of interest to you, I can give you more info.

Hello and thank you. It depends on the mileage really. As per pricing, I must use the 2005 example that I found as a benchmark, as I do not think that I will find anything above that in terms of age/mileage combination. What do you think about that one by the way, is it really that hard to come across? (still with original Honda guarantee until March-2010).

Cheers

Hard to say whether that's a good price or not, because of the poor exchange-rate € to £.

£50,000 in the UK would be too much for that car - there was a similar late-model car for sale in the UK at £40,000, which a few people were saying is too high, but in reality is probably not that far off - good condition NA2's (2002-2004) have been selling for between £28k and 34k recently, from what I can gather.

But if you go back to historic exchange rates, say 1.4 or 1.5, €55k becomes £36-40k...which is probably what I'd advertise a car like the one you're describing at! The final paid price will of course be a little less...


I'd ask around the European NSX clubs, see what they think...in any event it sounds fantastic, and having just bought a yellow NA1 myself, it's in the right colour!

Best of luck with your search,

Martin.

The 2005 car is a very rare find in LHD, if you can and want to spend that kind of money, and/ or you want the new style appearance, it is a very realistic price.

LHD prices cannot be compared to RHD, which are a lot less rare and therefore significantly cheaper.

My LHD '98 NSX has 96.600 Km on it, 100.000 Km service already done and is in very good /mechanically top condition.
Mileage is not too important on a NSX, wether it is 50K or 100K, it can take a lot more and it is more important how it was used.

Also the '98 is the old style front and rear, some like it better than the new style, some like the new style better, question of taste.
For the rest, the '98 and the '05 are technically almost identical.

My price for the '98 is about 25% lower than for the '05 and in my opinion it doesn't offer much less. I myself couldn't justify the extra expense for a '02-up model compared to the '98 just for the appearance.

Get a modded one from the US with all the things you are likely to want done to it.

Thanks rsevo6, your feedback is quite reasonable.
Many thanks

pd. I didn't realise that there would be such a big difference between RHD and LHD prices - there are 2 examples going for 80k and 70k in Germany (mobile.de), but I think these are not realistic market prices.

Thanks, I thought about the Acura option in the States too, but it's simply too much hassle for me and it is not cost-effective either, if you account for all the import duties which are quite high for cars coming from the States. Additionally, I intend to use the car and keep it for the long run too, so I would much rather have a original version and keep it that way.

I have done some research throughout the Spanish Honda forums and it seems that this same unit was sold 18 months ago for 60k Euros.
