I am interested in this '98 NSX-T. If anybody has any info on this car/owner that I should be ware of, Please let me know. I am close to pulling the trigger on this one.

I assume you saw this:

[SFNMNSX]

Yes. Looks pretty good to me...Just want to make sure the seller is legit. -DREW-

 

[kennyvb]

Have you spoken to the seller and are going to check the car out in person? I just don't think that website is particularly reputable and/or up-to-date.

NEVERMIND... I can't Supercharge an Automatic... BOOOOOOO!!!!

 

[docjohn]

you either need an auto box or you don't.

At first glance, not a bad deal even for an automatic.

I'm still new to NSX World, so why can't one supercharge an automatic NSX?

NEVERMIND... I can't Supercharge an Automatic... BOOOOOOO!!!!

Not true. I've heard of a few Auto's that are supercharged.

 

[SFNMNSX]

I'm sure it can be done... Chris @ SoS said the auto transmission in NSX's are not strong enough to handle the torque generated by a SC. That may not be word for word, but it's along that line as to why. Wade @ SoS said "Automatics do not like power". I don't want to invest the time or funds to get an automatic boosted. I jumped the gun on this one, I didn't immediately see that it is an AT. -DREW-

Did anyone get into contact with the owner? I sent an email asking about availability but have not heard back. I'm looking for an auto as it's a pain to drive manual where I live.

This is the email the seller (Michael Lorre) sent to me:

It is still for sale and I'm willing to sell it for US $25,600. The car is registered on my name, it has 115,000 miles, the title is clear (VIN - JH4NA1265WT000009 - no lien, accident free) also it drives and runs great. It is located in Houston, TX and I'm selling it because I'm not in US anymore. I live in UK with my family now.

Thanks,
Michael

Prime member rusky, believes the ad is fake... As always- proceed with caution. Good luck, -DREW-</[email protected]>

Sounds fake.

 

[posterchild2]

Ad is a scam, I have bought and sold many motorcycles online, and when they say they are out of the country always a red flag. Also not to sound like a grammar Natzi; but the response has a few grammatical errors that have a certain Nigerian aspect to them LOL. Next step will be for you to deposit some funds, or send shipping costs or something along those lines.

If this was legit, it would be an absolute steal. Even with the auto. Even with the mileage.

 

[neuronbob]

Uh-oh. Looks fakey with that email.....
