After many years of hoping and dreaming of owning an NSX, I finally pulled the trigger! I am the proud owner of a 1995 Black/Black, 5-sp with 84K. I actually got it a couple of months ago; it just so happened that I took delivery the day before my birthday (happy b’day to me!). I kept putting off posting my new ownership because there is so much I wanted to say about my long off and on journey to ownership over the years, so I finally made myself post a brief(er) version.
As I posted here, I first considered a red 1995 in the Chicago area. After a Prime member checked it out, he convinced me to wait to find a black one which I really wanted (BIG thanks to Brylek!). I considered pulling the trigger on it because I was nervous that if I waited much longer, the appreciation might squeeze me out of the market. He suggested I post in the WTB section of Prime. I have seen that section but wondered how effective it really is. So I posted a WTB (stock 1995-96 5-sp targa, pref black/black) thinking it would at least give me more time to save, and THREE days later, a Prime member from Arizona replied!
I had the car checked out by Science of Speed, negotiated with the seller, and had it shipped sight unseen. The seller was very cool, laid back, and great to work with throughout the process (and even above and beyond after I received it).
I will post more soon (including pics).
