Stuff WILL wear as the mileage increases, but just as much will wear with age, to be honest...and lack of use!
As Ian (WhyOne) says though - the engines are good for starship mileages, as (unusually for a Honda) are the gearboxes. I bought on condition and history, and ended up with a car on 91k. Unfortunately it does need some work doing (in progress), but the ride and damping still feels OK.
If the bodywork on this one is straight, it's got a full (detailed, not just annual services) history, and the engine feels strong, it's a bargain!

Blue '08 FD2 CTR - big, ITR-sized shoes to fill...
Yellow '96 NSX 3.0 - oh was it worth the wait!
Black '99 ITR - well, I had to have another one, the first was so much fun. Miss this one even more than #1...
Blue '03 S2000 - SOLD, flawed but fun
Blue '04 Focus TDCi Sport - SOLD, very good fun for a diesel!
Black '00 ITR - SOLD, still missed
Red '98 Civic VTi - SOLD, probably still bombproof
Havoc remind me to show u some pics sometime of another yellow with less milage that i went and looked at for a club member as near me.
I got back in my car and it felt immacualte..... truly special. Milage dont always mean derogatory. as we all know.
cheap car tho

Being a fan of Honda engines, I later went to Honda's Tochigi Research Center on two occasions and requested that they consider building for the McLaren F1 a 4.5 liter V10 or V12. I asked, I tried to persuade them, but in the end could not convince them to do it, and the McLaren F1 ended up equipped with a BMW engine.

Believe that - the first one I went to look at (60k '96 targa) clearly hadn't been looked-after at all, even ignoring the service history (4-year gap '00-04, then every 2 years since. No Honda dealer or 'known' specialist since '00!)Originally Posted by dan the man

Yes, this is my old car.
Advert now listed as "sold" though - who bought it?
Upgrades all done since I sold it - at that price would have been very good indeed!
Does indeed have FSH - no detail other than stamps til 60k miles, but full detail thereafter.
As Ian said, suspension comprehensively rebuilt 18m ago.
Anyone want any info about it, please give me a shout, although I'm not on the forum every day.
Cheers

'93 Sebring Silver : sadly now sold
'93 Range Rover LSE :now LPG so 11mpg not so bad. If I replace any more parts it'll be a new car.
'07 Landie Defender 110 SW XS: heated seats!!! they'll be asking us to wash it next....
'96 MX5 : project car
'09 Honda XL125V : new hobby
I bought it.
It's been an interesting couple of days; this morning, in Windsor, I got to the car park to find this sight:
It's an inauspicious way to begin your first full day of NSX ownership! Thankfully, there were no problems getting moving or on the drive back, and she's now tucked up in a nice garage, drying off!
I bought it because everything was right (the time, the price, the location, and a few other things) and I was willing to take a relative gamble. It's not perfect --there are a few niggles for me to investigate and fix-- but I'm actually looking forward to that process. It's also achingly beautiful, in this colour scheme.
Assuming there's nothing monstrously wrong with it, this is a car I aim to keep and fully enjoy for a very long time indeed; as such, I have no problem with spending money where it's necessary to make things perfect.
So... the 'affordable NSX experiment' begins here. Expect me to become a regular poster, and expect a whole range of stupid questions while I get to know what's normal and what's not, and in the long run, we'll see whether I truly will repent at my leisure!

Congratulations, you got a bargain....and the fastest colour.
Welcome to NSX ownership.
Brilliant - many congratulations!
From what is know of this cars history through these boards, I would say you have got a good straight car at a bargain price.
Let us know how you get along fixing the niggles, and if you need to buy parts be sure to ask here about the best place to buy them - it is rarely Honda UK!
