There is a really nice looking 2005 on autotrader.ca right now for only $67K with 17K on it.

Congrats!
Have you done a compression test, curious to know how much it is really like a new car power wise (by the numbers).
I wonder when a car engine gets older, how things change power wise and where usually the power loss is RPM wise.
Hi,
I'm looking at this used car, and it looks like the previous owner had no style sense and added these really ugly plastic extensions to the car.
Has anyone seen this before? Can these be safely removed or they will probably damage the original paint if removed?
I agree with what your saying, that is why I prefaced my point with "Yes I know a car is the worst type of "investment", and justifying or reasoning about a luxury car is pretty much futile etc. etc.".
But along those lines, it does help one purchase a car knowing that it won't be losing x,xxx...
Agreed, not many people buy a car in that class as an investment. At the same time, if there is a general trend towards a particular car holding it's value, it makes the decision that much easier and financially pluasible.
Example, buying a 911 turbo you might loose $1K/month or $12K/year in...
Well yes your situation was obvious since you got it in 2007.
I meant someone who purchases one today, I think can safely "assume" that the car will hold its value.
Greetings,
Yes I know a car is the worst type of "investment", and justifying or reasoning about a luxury car is pretty much futile etc. etc.
But putting that aside for a moment, and seeing as the market for a Nsx is pretty hot, would it be safe/reasonable to say that buying a NSX at this...
I phoned my insurance a while back, and the operator didn't sound like she knew everything there was to know about insuring a 15+ year old car, but she did say something which kind of got me nervous so I thought I'd ask here.
1. Because the car is 15+ years old, the insurance company will only...
I'm not budgeting $5K per say, it all depends on how much I am spending in the end :)
I'm in Toronto, I know there is a Canada specific forum so I'll search in there for a local PPI guru.
Other than the engine blowing out, what are some of the horror stories of someone buying an nsx that wasn't taking care off?
I found one potential car, but it looks like there isn't any service history on it but the car proof has no records of accidents etc. If I take it for a test drive and...
Greetings,
Like probably most of you on here I have always loved the nsx since i was released. I am now in a situation where I can buy one finally.
I really want to get one, but I am at the same time weary of buying a 20+ year old car.
I'm sure they are still a great ride, but to be...
Well I was out of country and couldn't call CAA. If that happened with a NSX, I would just get it towed and then keep it on the drive way till I ordered a new pair :) I can handle a flat tire now ...

Really? I thought late model 2002+ were much higher, I see 65K+ but I...
I'm in Toronto Canada.
I can afford up to 40K or so, and I have some left over for maintenance.
The one thing that keeps be interested is it seems these cars hold their value so well, I can drive it for a while and not loose that much (or at all!).
Compared with me buying a used bmw or audi...
Thanks for the insights.
Yes I am concerned about costs and finding someone to repair it, I can afford a 2k/year but if it is going to cost me much more than that I will have to wait a little while longer :)
I guess the reality of the situation is, it is a 20 year old exotic car, and many have...
Hi,
New to the forum so not sure how to exactly search for this type of question.
When buying a used car, and seeing as they are now 20 years or so old, what are some of the "horror" stories that some owners have gone through in terms of repair bills?
I've heard of the snap ring issues, but...
Hello there,
I have been a long time NSX dreamer, and this just could be the year I pull the trigger if I find a nice one.
I'm looking for a clean car, red NSX around 1996 year range with less than 100KM on it.
I'm not too picky on the color since you can't be too picky at this point.
I want...
