To anyone considering this car for sale on ebay currently, buyer beware!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Acura-NSX-C...tr=true&hash=item487cf4ea92&item=311334070930
The owner, Steve Kohke is not to be trusted. I purchased one of his NSX's in May of 2014. He advertised it as being in perfect condition, no accidents, no bodywork, etc. He was the original owner of this car, a Sebring Silver model, 91. He had just sold his Red 91 NSX a few weeks before I purchased mine. In his ebay ad for the red vehicle he was very up-front about having had an accident with the car and had documentation to show the repairs that were done, etc. The price of that sale reflected a car with a previous incident. Because of this upfront honesty on his Red car, my guard was let down when I saw him selling the Silver car a few weeks later, in which he assured me had not been in any accidents and was all original. I had my friend come check out the car as I live in Los Angeles. To the naked eye, everything appeared alright. I purchased the car, and picked it up. Only after a few weeks and a trip to Brookfield Acura solidified my fear that I had been completely misled and lied to. The car had indeed been in an accident of some sort on the front drivers side. The car was repaired correctly from a mechanical and frame standpoint. but nonetheless I was in shock at how I was taken advantage of. The whole intent behind buying a one owner car is to avoid being hit with surprises with a car's previous history. Steve provided me with every maintenance paper on the car from day one of ownership, but completely removed any paperwork dealing with the accident and chose to lie to my face about the car's history. He clearly disclosed the red car's incident because it was on the CarFax. The Silver car's accident history was not on the CarFax, so he chose not to disclose. CarFax is an absolute joke, take it with a grain of salt.
Since owning the car, I noticed some clear coat peeling issues around the door trim and B pillar trim. I've had to have the car completely repainted to correct all of these issues. The place he used to paint it taped off all of the trim rather than removing it. I suspect this black car will have the same issue if he chose to use an inferior body shop that chooses to cut corners. He finally admitted that the car had been in an accident after I berated him and his son (who is the one posting the ad). He didn't even have the common decency to offer up a fake apology. He instead defended his actions and was indignant. A true sign of a pathetic man.
Do not trust any story he tells you about this car. The car should be fully inspected by an Acura dealership and body shop. Do not waste your hard earned money on a car that he claims to be perfectly taken care of. The pictures looked just as amazing for my car, but don't be fooled.
If you need any more information about this, feel free to PM me.
