Well, a 91 with 150K miles may indeed go for that kind of money.

Look, here's what the chart says for a '91:

======================================

Under $30K:
-----------

C Average condition and miles. Shows wear.

D Below average condition and/or high to very high miles. Needs some attention. Shows considerable wear.

$30-35K:
--------

A Excellent condition across the board. Very well maintained, low miles.

B Very good condition. Average to lower miles.

$35-40K
-------

A+ Perfect in every way. Like it just came out of a museum. Very low miles. Fully documented.

A Excellent condition across the board. Very well maintained, low miles.

=========================================

For a car to be in the B category, it would need to have average miles or better; average is about 5K/year, so a car with 70K miles is probably in the C category, which is why it's selling for $26K. Even more so if the finish isn't perfect and/or it hasn't had the timing belt changed and/or needs repairs, etc.

Also, there are a lot of other things that determine whether its condition and price according to this table. For example, A or A+ means that it is very well maintained, which means that all scheduled maintenance should have been done and there should be nothing that needs a repair. Most '91 NSXs don't fall into this category.
 
Going back to the fair '96 with 38K miles, that's probably in category C, or possibly B, although it really depends on condition too. If it's in category C, that puts it $40-45K. For it to be worth more than $45K, it needs to be in the better part of category B, which means it must be in very good condition with no significant problems and all maintenance done, which means the timing belt and water pump should have been replaced, which is unlikely.
 
umm what do you think of those 95-6 34-36k deals on ebay?

But sometimes only you and GOD knows that theres a body work done..

let me re phrase it..

would you wanna get a 96 with a good body work done ( none frame ) for mid 30s
or a perfect one for 41k

assuming both mileage is the same and etc

***I*** would get the perfect one for $41K. But it's one of those things where you get what you pay for, and it's a matter of how YOU prefer to spend YOUR money.

FWIW, I bought a '96 in perfect shape with 18,000+ miles for 45.5 K three weeks ago.

Sounds like a "category A" car at a decent price. Congratulations!

Any good bodyshop can tell whether a car been repainted. That's why certain dealers offer the option of paint inspection at $75-125 a pop.
