hi everyone. this forum is the most professional, friendly, informative, knowledgable, helpful, and relaxed forum I've ever visited. Just one of the perks of owning a supercar such as the NSX. (I'm not saying I have one. haha)
I currently drive a new 2003 S2000, and I was wondering if anyone here has moved up to the NSX from a S2000. Or did anyone have hard time choosing between a new S2000 and the used NSX ?
For me, S2000 is the most rigid and stiff and best handling and fun to drive car I've ever driven or owned. (I'm 26 now). but I know the NSX has to be better. Even if NSX drives like a big SUV, I'd still like to have one just for its looks !
How would you say the NSX compares to the S2000? Is the chassis really THAT MORE RIGID than the S2000? As far as power, we're talkin about a 6cylinder vs a 4cylinder and I know there is no comparison.
And I have a question about the NSX leases. Since cars of these nature sell at MSRP anyways, leasing one sounds like a good deal for those of us who can't afford the chunky monthly payments yet. If you lease at $800/month for 3 years, and apply the payments you have made for the last 3 years as downpayment and buy out the car, the monthly note should be somewhat affordable. Of course, I believe you put in the buyout clause at the time of the lease, and it would be foolish to agree to buy out a honda civic at MSRP at the end of the lease, but since NSXs and M3s and etc sell for MSRPs anyways, leasing a NSX and buying it out seems like a smart move. am I correct?
And did anyone trade in a $30k car for a NSX without taking a big hit? (i'm talkin about a loss of less than $1000 dollars)
I would like to get a used NSX in mint condition someday. And since the S2000 is my second car (Maxima is my daily driver), I think I can trade in my "low miles and mint condition" S2000 for a NSX in 2,3 years and break even. or am I dreaming? Hmmm if I could trade my s2000 in for an early 90s NSX today without losing any money, I'd be inclined to do so. hehe.
*and oh, by "breaking even", I mean I'm hoping I can sell or trade in the S for what I owe on the car.
