Correct, Mack. The "at least 5 NSXs" that have sold at auction and gone to dealers are all verified to be the same cars via the VIN.
Thank you for the support Sterling. I agree and that was my intention with the comment '
This creates a cycle where now people believe the 'going rate' for NSXs is increasing (looking at listing prices only), so new listings follow the new pricing.', to include both dealers and individuals. It's a vicious cycle driven by the misinformation that values are constantly rising.
For an extreme example of the disparity, see the following 2 NSXs, both 02-05 manuals with ~30k miles (both presumably clean-title).
- Offered by an individual, price has been continually dropping and still hasn't sold at $69k (https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=491267372)
- Offered by a dealer and for sale for 2 years, price held at $118k (https://www.newmilfordmotors.com/2003_Acura_NSX_New Milford_CT_10275127.veh)
That's a difference of nearly $50k in asking price. I expect the first one will sell soon and be re-listed at a dealer.
