the nsx's that are up for sale at the moment.

[Cragswinter]

so,
strictly speaking niether the red car or the yellow one seem to have any bad history?
obviously there's the price issue but then i'm not too worried about that-i love a good haggle!
matpp you have mail

The problem is that the red is 3.2 money any day of the week.

what a refreshing change to the porsche forums, on there any car that's overpriced immediatly has everyone saying that's now the market value of their car-whether it sells or not?!

just out of interest AR what do you think the ball park figures are re market values?
if we assume all low mileage (under 60k)
well looked after

1 3.0 coupe
2 3.0 targa
3 3.2 coupe
4 3.2 targa
5 facelifted 2002 onwards

i'll say all uk cars but can i presume a slightly lower value for a jdm car (with it's missing history etc)

It's very hard to answer this question due to age, milage, condition, colour etc, but if we assume good condition with history,(may need some work ie new tyres or new brakes, or scratch) then I would say the following :-

1 3.0 coupe £15K-£28K
2 3.0 targa £15K-£28K
3 3.2 coupe £28K-£35K
4 3.2 targa £28K-£35K
5 facelifted 2002 onwards £35K-£50K

Just my opinion of course, and for the record I would want over £50k for mine! (Not that it's for sale!)

That is a very difficult question. Perhaps the best way is to observe what cars are actually making on the rare occasions they come up for sale.
IMO all NSX's appear to have increased in value. Prices of earlier cars have increased by 10-15% and good well advertised, well specced examples have sold very quickly. 3.0 litre Targas seem especially popular.
It seems to me that the cars that sell quickest and for the most are the totally original ones. I saw an early silver manual the other day that sold in a week, whereas the cars with even minor cosmetic tweaks seem to hang around for a while.
The yellow targa that everyone's discussing at the moment is a prime example. I'm not hating those wheels, but I'm guessing a lot of people view them as a look elsewhere beacon.
Late pop-up cars are much harder to value. High 30's for a late low mileage car is nearly 20% more than the same car would have sold for 4-5 years ago. I'm not saying it's not worth it. In many ways it's a considerably better proposition than a Boxster, M3 etc.. that can be had for the same money but will continue to hemorrhage your hard earned money for the next five years.
I guess it's preference and perceived value. I was offered a very low mileage 3.2 targa pop-up a few months ago for more money than I paid for my 54 plate.
Facelift cars seem a little easier to quantify. But not much. I've got one so I'm a little biased. However, they do seem to have made some pretty big gains in the last 12 months. We can put some of this down to media coverage, gains relevant to their higher starting value and people wanting a crossover car; something with the classic DNA but a newer revised look. But ultimately it seems that the facelift car now occupies its own position.
Hopefully people have stopped comparing them to GT3's. They are after all completely different cars.
Anyway back to values. I'd go with what Paul has said. However, there are always anomalies; Chris's Type R, Peter's 91 coupe with 1500 miles (first six cars to be imported), late model pop-up or facelift targas and the optioned last twelve cars, even though it seems there are perhaps a couple even later cars.

Cheers,

James.

Well the yellow car has apparently been sold. Managed to get in touch with the vendor via their service website only to be told it isn't available although he "may be able to get my hands on another couple of cars".

So that's two of the fifteen cars on PH that are supposedly for sale that have been sold. It really f**ks me off when traders do this.

Anyway, onwards & upwards. I'm guessing that one of the other cars this trader can get hold of is the red low mileage car-seeing as they're not exacty miles apart & since getting off the phone to the yellow cars vendor the red cars phone has been engaged!

& I thought buying 911's was hard work

[Cragswinter]

just a quick tot up on here, pistonheads, autotrader & carandclassic we have the folowing up for sale:
4 x imports
5 x auto uk cars
4 x manual uk cars
4 x circa 100k miles
1 x type R

which doesn't leave me a lot to play with.
i have spoke to the vendor of the red car, he was very quick in guessing where i was from-perhaps he reads the forums?! it looks like i'll be going to view the car this weekend with a bit of luck so i'll follow up on here. the price is too high obviously but it all depends on how much movement there is? it does have the right mileage, it's in a good colour (though not my first choice) has had a clutch, doesn't need a cambelt for another 3 years & has a tubi exhaust whilst still retaining the stock system.

i din't want to put up a wanted ad (someones already beaten me to it by the looks of things!) but obviously, if any of you owners out there are fancying a change then feel free to get in touch

hi mate
http://pistonheads.com/sales/2909340.htm
thought of tis one?
would not be too hard to put back to standard, think it looks a decent purchase

[PeterW]

N11 NSX sold on PH in January this year. The asking price was £23k (90% sure but don't still have the advert to confirm it). I was v interested in it as it ticked all the boxes for what I wanted. IIRC, the advert came up on the Thursday, I contacted the vendor on the Sunday and made an appt to see it the following Sat am - it was opposite end of the country from me and I have a day job! On the Wednesday he emailed me to say it had sold. As mentioned earlier in this thread there were others also interested. I emailed the vendor and asked how much it had sold for, as I would have considered paying a bit over the asking price, but he didn't respond. Since there was a lot of interest and it sold so quickly, the conclusion might be that this car at that time was possibly underpriced. Looks like it was bought by a dealer, which is a bit irritating, but that's the free market economy at work I guess!

[Cragswinter]

Well the trader claims to have had 20+ nsx's & says this is one of the best he's had. Peter was the chap selling it in January called chris? I'm just trying to corralate some other info I have on the car & a possible previous seller.

The current owner is using the car & has put a clutch in recently, so it sounds like a part time trader or a trader who's an nsx enthusiast, if he's had 20+ nsx's you'd think he would be know to the forum?

As for the black car nobby I'm not interested in import cars (unless a type r was within budget. Which it won't be )
