Hello
This is my first post, I have been reading this forum for nearly 5 months, it has been my daily routine to visit the forum at least once a day, I truely enjoy reading all the useful posts and informations on NSX, and drool over the NSX images posted by fellow NSX owners.
NSX always has been my dream car, the look is to die for, however the near $90000 new car price is out of my reach, and would not be a good value for me finacially, so I will most likely purchase a used 91 to 94 NSX.
I have owned 4 different cars, all purchased new, my current ride is 99 Lexus GS400, while it has decent power, extremely easy to drive, but is really not a fun car to drive, and feel bulky at times.
I have worked extremely hard for this day, convincing girl friend to let me purchase a used NSX was not a easy thing, trust me, now it is obstale no more, finally convinced her after several months of plea and negotiation, I can finally go out and look for one, however I do have one concern, this will be my first used car ever, I have never had any major problems or even minor problems with the previous 4 cars I owned, never had to let any one of my previous cars sit in the shop for more than a few hours, for a 91 to 94 NSX it is a fairly old car, should I expect a lot of down time or major problems? are there anything else that I should consider thoroughly before making the pruchase?
Also my girl friend used this against me during our debate of purchasing used NSX, while she is allowing me to purchase one now, she still bring up this argument occassionally and try to convince me otherwise, she always tell me, why spent $30000 to $40000 on a 10 year old car (91 to 94 used NSX), when you can purchase a brand new S2000 now or wait for 350Z or Infinity G35 Coupe in a few month from now, and not worry about any down time or problems, all I can said to her is I love the look of NSX more than any other car, it is fast, and it is a true exotic.
Have anyone of you been through similar situations? if so can you please provide even more convincing arguments, or suggestions.
any adivce will be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Jason
