Maintenance Information
Completely up to date and prepared for sale for new owner ($8K in maintenance expenses in 2018, with all receipts documented). Do not let the higher mileage mislead you - the new owner can have great confidence and peace of mind given engine out maintenance and all major services completed within the last 15 months.

Details
After nearly 14 years of ownership, I’m letting go of the dream car I first saw when I was 11 years old. This has been a year of personal change for me, and life goes on – I’m hoping to find a new owner that will get as much enjoyment and memories out of this car as I have. I’m OCD in nature and I’ve spared no expense in the maintenance and upkeep of this NSX – a 3-inch binder that includes complete records during my entire ownership will go with the vehicle. Carl McClellan has serviced this vehicle for more than a decade and can vouch for the vehicle and answer any questions.

Maintenance Highlights
• Meticulously maintained: full 3-inch binder of all records/purchases/receipts since my ownership beginning March 2005 (daily driver 2005-2011, weekend driver 2012-2018)
• Maintenance performed by Carl McClellan in Houston (well known and regarded certified NSX tech – formerly Sterling McCall Acura, now at C&M Honda in Stafford, TX) (available as reference if needed)
• 90K mile maintenance (including timing belt, water pump, belts, spark plugs) (completed January 2018 at 132,373 miles)
• New O2 sensor, thermostat, AC compressor clutch (summer 2018 at ~133,XXX miles)
• Engine out maintenance (machined heads, rethread head bolt holes, oil change, coolant change) (November 2018 at 133,954 miles)
• Alignment performed by Southwest Alignment in Houston (12/11/18 at 134,091 miles)
• New OEM battery, replace VTEC gaskets, reseal and repack CV boots, tighten/reinstall WW front lip spoiler and passenger side scoop (6/26/19 at 134,306 miles)
• Oil changes every 3K miles or every year (Mobil 1 synthetic)
• Other common problems already addressed: CCU repair (by NSX Prime member BrianK), trunk struts, window and mirror switches

Other Comments
• Wings West front lip spoiler has chips and scratches
• AC blows cold (a must for Houston), both side windows operate smoothly
• Exhaust (refined sound, does not drone) is not particularly loud as this was my daily driver for several years
• Never tracked, drives absolutely smoothly given recent engine maintenance - can be confident in reliability
• Upgraded headlights are a bright white
• Washed and detailed regularly (including CQuartz Finest treatment)

Yes, it has factory cats. Only installed aftermarket headers and exhaust. Has always passed annual inspections (maintenance binder has the “passed” inspection report every year and is required for annual registration renewal).

Bump. Still looking for the right home - price adjusted to $50,000 (can't edit original post for some reason). Thanks for the interest and questions thus far.

Hi, I'm new on the forums, but I am interested in this car. I have financing in place, but I'm located in MI, so I'm not sure how long it will be before I can make my way there to check out the car. If it is still available when I'm able to travel, I'll make the trip down.
 
Please close thread. Traded the car in - will be available at Advantage BMW Midtown Houston - thanks for the interest and good luck with your searches. Be safe and well.
