That is one fine looking example..........Steve

Looks like it sold. I hope someone makes it right again. It is one of the very few cars I have owned that I still miss and would like to have back......Steve

I feel so bad for my old car it has had a tough life since I sold it :mad::frown: .....Steve

I am paying $900 or so.......No BFD......its nothing considering the value of the car. I chose the F1 over the 6 speed and I really like it, but will admit there is nothing like the gated 6-speed. And yes you are right if you are concerned with the maintenance cost then stay away. It will...

Either way works but on FChat it is referred to as the 360CS :D......Steve

Since my wife was really pissed that I was getting the car. I thought the 360CS would be over the top for her. And in the end, I need her to like cars like these since I want more of them. So I figured the F430 with F1 would be a good starting point. The day I went to get it she was so...

You will find a lot of good info on FerrariChat to help answer your question. But with the F430, I am going to put 3-5K miles a year, so around $1K a year for regular annual maintenance and $3K for a 15K maintenance. The only real hit will be F1 clutch replacement from $3-$6K depending on...

I bought a 05 Long Beach Blue Pearl/Blue NSX #221 and put 24K on it in two years and made it to 1 NSXPO. The NSX is a fantastic car and stands on its own. It does not need to compete with anything, since there really is nothing like it. The NSX community is fantastic and those two years were...

They really did butcher my car concerning the stereo. The took out everything about 8-10 K worth. The ecu was above the ztoolman sub-enclosure. Very sad but the car was not driven in snow in both Naperville, IL and Eden Prairie, MN before I sold it.........Steve

That was my car, I bought it new at Continental Acura in Naperville, IL. I then moved to Minneapolis. I had it for 2 years and put 22k+ on it. I had put $8k of stereo in the car including ztoolmans base box. Also aftermarket exhaust. I sold the car with the upgraded stereo. The stereo in...

NSX folks are the best folks. The people and the community were really what made a special car a very special experience. I will be back, the NSX stands the test of time and I really miss the car. It's just been the dream to own an F-Car and it seems to be my time, so I can't pass it up...

Don't sell it just add the F-Car, I really miss my NSX and will try to find an 03-05 in the next couple of years......it really is its own car and nothing replaces it.....Steve
