The $14,000 NSX! What do you think?

I love it when i get to say.... "i told you so"

I think we all have too much stuff to worry about. I dont think any of us needs to worry about a salvage title and a bent frame + 3 accidents.

Keep your eyes open. There will ALWAYS be a better deal. GL

I am the used car manager :biggrin: I travel all over buying cars. Its a great gig. As many of you know; we specialize in Sport Compact Cars and its alot of fun. Im also the 11th biggest certified acura dealer in the country. :wink:


There is a Honda dealer not far from here that has a 1997 Acura Integra Tyoe-R with about 75,000 miles on it and they want almost $20,000 for it!! You guys have had a nice number of these at your place....what should it go for??

By the way...as far as the '92 GPW NSX is concerned.....I would imagine if you showed up with a check in hand in the amount of your offer the seller would jump at it. Any pictures of this car??

Looks like this car is on ebay right now... He wants $15k
This is funny from the description:
"The speedo stoped working o few days ago so I am selling the car tmu and as-is. The title does show 52,000 and there is about 52,300 on car9still driving). So the title is a clean a clear NJ title with actual miles"

Speedo broke a few days ago and thats why its TMU.
Ha! Crooks.
He must have forgot when Bridgewater told him it showed TMU from texas and a salvage title.
 
I really think I drove this car several years ago. Please post a complete CarFax if you have one and I can tell you if it is the same one.

Detailed Vehicle History Definitions:

* First Owner
When the first owner(s) obtains a title from a Department of Motor Vehicles as proof of ownership.
* Junk Title
A Junk Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent that the cost of repairing the vehicle for safe operation exceeds its fair market value; or a vehicle that has been declared a Total Loss by an insurer or other state or jurisdiction. Some states treat Junk titles the same as Salvage but the majority use this title to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again in that state.
* Mileage Inconsistency
If a more recent odometer reading is less than an older reading but CARFAX is uncertain whether the discrepancy is a rollback or a clerical error, then CARFAX calls it a "Mileage Inconsistency". In this case, you should verify the mileage with your dealer or a qualified mechanic.
* New Owner Reported
When a vehicle is sold to a new owner, the Title must be transferred to the new owner(s) at a Department of Motor Vehicles.
* Not Actual Mileage Title
When the seller certifies, under the Truth-in-Mileage Act, that the odometer reading is NOT ACTUAL MILEAGE. This may occur because the disclosed odometer reading was not accurate and verifiable.
* Salvage Title
A Salvage Title is issued on a vehicle damaged to the extent that the cost of repairing the vehicle for safe operation exceeds its fair market value; or a vehicle that has been declared a Total Loss by an insurer or other state or jurisdiction. Some states treat Junk titles the same as Salvage but the majority use this title to indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again in that state. The following ten States also use Salvage titles to identify stolen vehicles - AZ, FL, GA, IL, MN, NJ, NM, NY, OK and OR.

just to clear things up. i bought the car. i had it on a rack and the frame was ok but you could see the front clip was replaced. it does have a clear NJ title and I didnt find out the history till a guy came up from NC to buy it. this car needed lots of tlc and the body was nasty(Maco could do better). well we all know what a running and driving nsx is worth so I robbed it and sold it to a local that wanted a nsx project. he is now getting me to build the motor 8.5 compresion,aem ems,1000cc injectors,twin gt35r t3 turbos,etc.(list goes on and on). and you guys should see a 800whp pump gas nsx. so the car is sold and this is a dead end.

That is really nice clean work, I am anxious to see the NSX after you are done.

Have fun and take lots of pictures!
 
That thing looks as shitty as the day I first saw it. Total piece of junk. Ive got enough spare parts to finish this thing off but it still seems like a money pit.
 
wow that car makes my salvage car look like a million bucks. Thanks for making my day :biggrin:
and goodluck if you decide to take on the project. It would be pretty awesome to just strip the interior and make it a track only car. I dont know if I like the idea of a beater nsx though. I like track only better.

I probably could have bought this white car for $13k. Id have to say, I think yours is worth $25k. Stock or modded up.:wink:
 
wtf double your money? what are you talking about?

If all salvage pos where worth 30k.... what would a nice clear title 30K nsx be worth? 60K? :rolleyes:

if it was worth more in parts, it would not be for sale complete as a salvage car. people part out cars for a living. if there where 100% mark up in parts, people would be doing it.:rolleyes:

i got a spare tire laying around some where. I'll sell it to your for 100$ and you can part it out and make 100$ on the rims and 100$ on the tire.:biggrin:

Well your right not double but u could defiantly make some money parting it out. parts are only getting more expensive to buy.
+ At 13K it dont look that bad (track car)
 
someone bid it..omg..
I bet the buyer will back out in the end. :tongue:
 
That poor car needs to be put out of its misery. :cool:
