Thank you Spartan2-3, furthermore I own both an auto dealership and an NSX myself...$19,000 is VERY fair from a dealer on a trade-in* (I personally wouldn't of given more than $17K with those miles and that *color*...and that's assuming the car was in great shape...$19K only for "re-sale" RED) You typify the unknowledgable consumer who walks on a dealer lot stereotyping the industry & personel and seeing things only their way....you have to realize I (and ANY other dealer) can simply go to the high-line auto auctions and pick up 104K, black NSX's *all day long* for the high teens....so why would they go thru the trouble of paying MORE for a walk-ins' car (whom isn't even going to buy a car from them! -no revenue)....everyone's entitled to their "opinion's" but at least GET INFORMED before making them...spartan2-3 said:If you're not happy with their offer then sell it on your own.
I dont think you are making a proper statement simply because it didnt go your way. .

Those items don't increase the car's market value by any significant amount.sutphen77 said:thats what i figured but it also is lowered, 17" and 18" rims with large tires, I know the dealer dont care about that though.

Good luck having the average comsumer get financed on his new 11 year old NSX....otherwise fork over $25,000 in cold hard cash if your buying from a private owner* Not to mention the sale is *immediate* if a dealer purchases from you...WITH accountability.(You can be sure of the funds*) It shouldn't be hard to hear testimonials of people who've litterally been taken for thousands dealing with people off the street. They're pro's to dealing with a registered/bonded auto dealer...always remember the adage; "you get what you pay for"Casper91 said:I've found it best not to take business with ANY car dealer personally.
This is a business transaction. Your bloodpressure will be better off understanding that it's the dealers job to get your trade in for as low as possible. And, to sell a car for as much as he can get for it.
Same thing happened to me with a trade in one time.
It's up to you to say yes or no.
That can easily happen. One dealer (like Michael at Bridgewater) may have a good idea of how much NSXs (of a given vintage, mileage, condition, etc) sell for. So, knowing that he can re-sell the car fairly easily and make a few grand on the sale, he can offer you something in the $17-19K range. Another dealer may rarely if ever see an NSX, and have no idea what it's worth or how long it's going to sit on his lot; someone like that may offer you significantly less, to cover the risk he's taking. Granted, some of that difference in price is due to his lack of experience, but hey - it's the same thing with selling a car as buying a car; you're going to find different prices and you need to shop around. As Casper91 put it so well, it's no big deal; don't take it personally.sutphen77 said:How can one dealer offer me 19000 and another 18000 and this guy offer me 13000

Depending on the nature of the modification, that's true....anything that would adversely affect passing the local "safety inspection" or "emmission" will effectively lower its value to a dealer....no matter how "cool" or much more power it gives.jgtcnsx said:i actually heard they reduce the price for none oem parts
The other issue in reducing market value is that many buyers may prefer a car that is not modded - so that the mods can reduce the potential number of people who might be interested in the car, which has the effect of making the car harder to sell and creating the need to reduce the price.NSXTASY_MD said:Depending on the nature of the modification, that's true....anything that would adversely affect passing the local "safety inspection" or "emmission" will effectively lower its value to a dealer....no matter how "cool" or much more power it gives.
