    Car shipping

    I have had great success with Intercity as well. More recently used Passport Transport --- they equal the quality of Intercity in terms of care and price. Took a bit longer than promised to get the car here, but believe all the car carriers were experiencing the same delays. Can highly...

    The Last testaments of a great car

    The end of the NSX in 2022 is a sad item for me. I just got back from a Cars & Coffee even in Charlotte NC. Was a 5 1/2 hour drive each way from Chesapeake VA --- the car ride was fantastic -- no issues, and actually pretty good gas mileage (mostly on "Sport" on the interstates) and tons...

    Anyone contemplating the purchase of the S spec NSX?

    I'm now in my 60's ---- have been an internal combustion engine afficianodo since i was 13 ---- love the sound of a great exhaust note --- the only pure electric i'll be on is the golf cart at my club . . . however acknowledging that this this the way of the future. Not much sweeter than the...

    Type-S Announced

    Sad to hear this, but can't be unexpected. Imagine its tough to justify continued production with such low volume numbers each month. At least they are going out with a bang -- new hp has gotta be at least 650 and have read somewhere that they will be at 200 mph minimum. Some suspension...

    Will you ever sell your NSX?

    OK --- originally bought a 91 and loved it. Had it and a S2000, and then found a 2001 with low mileage -- bought it and sold the 91 and the S2000. Someone made me a crazy offer on the 2001 and I accepted. Almost immediately had sellers remorse. So I found a pristine 2000 with low mileage...

    A few recent reviews

    Nice review --- kinda like that fellow -- funny - my son had suggested the Nissan GTR (never driven one and not really excited about it ) and I came close (twice) to pulling the trigger on an R8. SO happy that I went with the NSX. As this guy says, can drive it comfortably, and can...

    Another 2017 NSX on BAT

    This car looks pretty awesome and really optioned out -- $200K sticker. At 14k miles it should do at least 140K or higher. Gotta say white looks good on the NSX. Jay

    Fully loaded 4k mile Valencia Red 2017 sold for

    I watched the BAT auction --- my initial guess was that it would be well bought at $140K ($145k with commission) --- so it went a bit above that as the bidders got into a bit of a battle. But IMHO that particular car was easily worth $140K. I've had several NA1's and a NC1 -- I love them...

    Things you should or should not do to your car

    Thanks for the "head up" on the brake fluid change every 2 years -- did not know and will do.

    Where are the $80,000-90,000 2017 NSXs?

    In looking at what is for sale, it seems like the 2017's etc are generally holding at 120K to 140K, mostly depending on mileage and options. There also seems to be more and more positive reviews on this car as being very under appreciated for all that it is and what it has to offer. With...

    What other similar sports cars did you consider?

    Having owned 3 prior NSX's I had always been intrigued by the new NSX. I also owned a Boxster S, which I actually really enjoyed. I was pondering the R8 with the V10; or maybe a Cayman GT; but then at a local car cruise a guy showed up with the new NSX --- we chatted and we went for a...

    NSX - Garage/Stable Mates?

    Going back many years I grew up on a bunch of Fiat's, VW's, MG's, MR2's, S2000's, and an occasional Fiero, Javelin, 280Z, 914, and others that are forgettable.... More recently have sold a 928 S4 with a dogleg 5 speed (cool car but always felt "heave" and not fun to drive); a C4 Corvette...

    ***STICKY*** Gen1 NSX Current Market Analysis

    I follow the market fairly closely --- thinking a clean, stock, unmolested and no-story car of 2000 or 2001 with mileage in that range you are looking at somewhere between 75K and 95K. Think the important thing is to have all history documentation and provenance. Market seems to be strong...

    Ilusso Dealer Recommendation

    My son and I went to see them last Spring for a visit - and even knowing we were there to "sightsee" and not looking to buy, they treated us fantastically well and could not have been nicer. These guys are probably one of the top two "hypercar" or supercar dealers in the country. If you get...

    Who is the oldest NSX owner that still drives their car regularly?

    Hard to believe but it's a 64 number here. And I make it a priority that I get the NSX out a minimum of once a week - regardless of time of year or temperature. And it is a reminder of why I just love this automobile --- lots of smiles. Would like to drive it more - but have 2 other...

    Bought a 98 Kaiser NSX-T to play with some supercars

    Welcome and congrats - looks like a fantastic NSX. And a nice addition to your other automobiles. All NSX's are fantastic - from 1991 to 2005 -- I'm on my 3rd, and like you, my personal preference was for the 97 to 01. Glad you found it and know you will love it. Cheers, Jay

    Yesterday, it happened!

    Cheers Rob !! Welcome. I've had 2 S200's, and am on my 3rd NSX ---- nothing better. Great group here with lots of knowledge and friendly help. Of all the cars I've owned, there is something really special about the NSX. Jay

    What did YOU pay for your NSX? (and when?)

    Recently purchased a 2000 with 21K miles. Completely original and stock - no issues - lived its garage life in a climate controlled environment - looks new. Paid 72K and am very happy with the purchase ( my 3rd NSX purchase). Red with tan interior.

    New user, new NSX owner.

    Congrats -- looks fantastic! Previously owned a 01 Silverstone / Black and regrettably sold. Recently purchased a 2000 Red / Tan and happy to be back in the saddle. You will love it - only automobile I've ever come back to for a 3rd time. Cheers, Jay
