I apologize if this is the wrong forum but I wanted to pass on a local car I saw for sale. I've been reading this forum as long as I've had my NSX but I've never posted here.
The car is a '91 black on ivory 5 speed with 34K miles for $25,000. The guy said he'd take $23,500 for it so he'll probably go even lower. It looked at the car yesterday and it had been in an accident. The driver's side and front bumper had been repainted, and it was a mediocre job since there was some "orange peel." He said the previous owner had slid into a curb so his dad purchased the car as is and had the body work done and had it the damaged panels repainted. He replaced the wheels with the '01 wheels and it has new OEM tires. Interior is perfect and all body panels line up and there are no signs of the damage being worse than he described. The only thing it is missing is the chin spoiler.
As far as mechanical condition I'd say it's great. The car rode and drove excellent I detected no vibrations or anything that would make me question how solid the car is. He had the 60K service done on it and he had the local Acura dealer look over the car to see if anything was wrong, which he says there was not. He does have receipts for everything. He also says it is not in the snap ring failure range but I did not verify this against the transmission number so I'm not sure if it is or not.
He is a younger guy and is basically a prick. I shut him up when I told him I had a single turbo Supra and a '97 NSX however
His dad bought him the car a little under a year ago and I think what happened was he realized the car was a little to expensive to maintain since he just had to purchase tires and the 60K service. I'm not an NSX expert so I recommend that the car be "professionally" looked at since it was in an accident.
I was thinking about replacing my SP63 Supra with this car, BBSC it and daily drive it to keep the miles a little lower on my '97 but I figured 2 black on tan (or ivory) NSXs is a little too much
If anyone is interested the number is (941) 350-7170 and the car is located in Sarasota, FL.
