No, deal didn't go through



maybe it's a sign for me to put this purchase on hold for a bit...

seems like normal wear and tear on a nsx to me.
the only thing is a cause for concern would be the messed up speedo and the 02 sensor harness but everything else seems reasonable for a drive that is actually driven. also the clutch master cylinder leak is common in a lot of nsx's.

55K for a 03 seems more than a fair asking since just months ago they were selling for over 60K.

if you want a mint one that is a garage queen, expect to pay more.

How many miles on the car? What color?

the speedo was a concern and the aftermarket radio is a concern as it seems to have issues as well..

there was a '03 blk/blk nsx with less miles that sold in Seattle recently for 51K that seemd to be in better condition so I felt asking less than 51k for the '03 nsx I was looking at was justified, unfortunately the dealership didn't feel the same way..

forgot it in my original post but here's the link to the sales website:

^ Wow! But depending on the miles, 51k for an '03 black/black is an EXCEPTIONAL deal IMHO. Just because one person sells a car for that amount, that doesn't automatically mean that is the market value. I fair offer on this car is maybe 51-53k. The issues seem minor and should be able to be fixed, without much effort.
