    New Owner - '98 Kaiser NA2/6MT - JH4NA2164WT000137

    Thanks Doc. I'll join NSXCA, and try to get to some of the SE events, but Portland is a little much. That's the kind of drive I'd rather make in the Prelude! (And less viruses in a car, right?)

    New Owner - '98 Kaiser NA2/6MT - JH4NA2164WT000137

    Thanks for your (gently worded) concern, Honcho. It is warranted. The fiasco in my neighbor's S2K left a plate in my arm that talks to me every day. I willfully admit that I'm not a skilled or experienced sports car driver, and will be taking it (very) easy in the NSX. Hence the Miata for...

    New Owner - '98 Kaiser NA2/6MT - JH4NA2164WT000137

    Ha! I thought somebody would ask. My long-time good friend/next-door neighbor has been egging me on for years to get a car. I was close to buying an AP2 S2K when I ran out of talent while taking his car out for a spin (ahem) in Jan 2017. His wrath was a little tempered by the site of my broken...

    ***STICKY*** Gen1 NSX Current Market Analysis

    How many miles on it? Just going back the last three pages or so, it is clear that higher mileage cars are not worth what people are listing them for. All I was saying. --- 28k. I was kinda looking for a higher mileage car to go see my kids at school in the fall, but this one was too nice...

    New Owner - '98 Kaiser NA2/6MT - JH4NA2164WT000137

    First-time NSX purchaser, here. Took a while to find the car for me (3 different silver NA2's in 3 different time zones), "but I think I got the best one."* After building a garage in my backyard for projects with my internal combustion-crazy son, I decided I had room for a vintage Honda...

    ***STICKY*** Gen1 NSX Current Market Analysis

    I found mine on cars.com. Seller had it listed on car gurus, as well. Here's a nice valuation analysis on Hagerty.com that shows increasing values of 'minty' #1 & #2 cars, while #3 & #4 are declining: https://www.hagerty.com/apps/valuationtools/1998-Acura-NSX-3.2L?id=129114 Guess I won't...

    ***STICKY*** Gen1 NSX Current Market Analysis

    I found mine on cars.com. Seller said he used car gurus, too. I spend way too much time on BaT, and have learned a lot about the cars there. But I didn’t want to buy without a personal inspection, which is hard to schedule during a seven day auction. A recent Hagerty valuation analysis showed...

    ***STICKY*** Gen1 NSX Current Market Analysis

    I got mine for $23k less than the original ask. After receiving my wife's approval.

    Timing belt, Cam seals and valve adjustment.. Dealership quoted 1900$$

    I got a $1950 quote for TB/WP (with the two other belts) from the NSX tech at my local Acura dealer in Asheville, NC (Apple Tree). Seems about right.

    Factory ACURA Nose Mask

    I just purchased a very clean and lovingly maintained '98 NA2 with 28k miles this weekend and drove it from Las Cruces, NM to Dallas. Long-time previous owner kept the car waxed and clean, and used the OEM bra frequently for the last 18 years. Close inspection revealed no scratches or unusual...

    Thanks! It was my third silver NA2 to inspect and test drive. All in different time zones. Kaiser is certainly awesome. Pics to follow (when I learn how)!

    Thanks, RacerX. Try my prime handle @ Gmail. And Neuron and John. I look forward to learning more about these cars with this community.

    ***STICKY*** Gen1 NSX Current Market Analysis

    Just another noob chiming in to say thanks, RacerXwing, for this useful data. I've been stalking the right NSX for me for about a year (after a lifetime of Honda products), and finally found it this weekend. '98 Kaiser Silver 6MT with 28k miles that was lovingly maintained by its second owner...
