I'm looking (very carefully) at a 99 3.2 6Speed (in the UK) and my reservations are:-
A) the car has 5 previous owners (+ current one) - what does this mean? I know that Ferrari's et al go through this many owners (keep it up to the next service), but I didn't realise NSX's were the same. Any thoughts? Is this a lemon, or just unloved?
b) although visually the car looks pretty immaculate (it only has 20,000 miles on it) - it has only been serviced 3 times in it's life (6K, 10K, 16K) . Are the 6 month service intervals something the car needs or is this just a way for Honda to make money? Would anyone consider this a cause for concern?
c) The car has rather amateurishly painted calipers and the windows are heavily tinted (which we don't need here as it means you can't see the rain!) - Ricer?
d) Finally for UK members, does anyone know the history of this particular Car? It's the 3.2 Imola Orange NSX for sale from Levant (in Herts) - used to be owned by a Motorhomes saleman apparently. Any cluse would be useful.
Basically my head says 'there's something wrong' but my heart just wants the car - so any advice would be great - thanks
