Well it wasn't that easy, but I finally scooped one. After looking for months and loosing a few deals here is my story.
My name is Jerry and I'd like to thank everyone on this forum for sharing so much knowledge about this modern classic car.
It all started about year ago when my wife asked for a Cobra for her birthday, but I was able to negotiate a NSX.
As a long time Honda fan I only have metric tools anyway.
We went to see first NSX about 6 months ago. It was a 92, red with 118k miles. Had a clear carfax but the nose was cut out and frame horns had cracking bondo. Second car was 91 black with 84k miles. I was at the location hours after the owner posted it. It was clean and I shook hands with the owner on full asking price. He didn't want a deposit. Just before I went to pick it up he called that he changed his mind and will keep his baby.
Another was silver in Chicago with 322K miles. I offered more than asking price and the owner decided to keep it. Another red 91 was in Cincinnati and the owner also decided to keep it after I had my trailer hooked up and coffee in my hand ready to go.
Finally I picked one 93 red with 63K miles and almost stock. The previous owner had a large collection of cars and in 12 years he drove only 1700 miles. Our NSX has all the regular problems like slow windows, heater works only on hi, trunk and rear glass shocks are bad,needs timing belt,rough idle...Thanks to many people here I know what to expect and where to order what I need. It's harder than you think to get a decent NSX lately.
This Christmas I feel like a kid again.
Merry Christmas to all
