    Good bye and thank you

    All good questions from Osiris and you. I just don't have the time to sell the car, and I definitely don't have the patience. And, I've learned the hard way to never sell a car to a friend or even an acquaintance. I had a number in mind when I drove there, and the figure quoted to me was even...

    No, she just wanted the standard package.:biggrin: Actually she wanted a 370Z but we haven't had anything but a Honda product since the late 1980s, so I talked her out of that, and I was afraid it would be another garage queen. Her 2004 TSX looks like it came off the showroom floor. Besides...

    No doubt you're right, but the lack of domestic bliss can depreciate your assets MUCH faster than a TL ever will. Ask me how much it cost to buy back my house, cars and other possessions from my first wife:frown:

    can't remember exactly but under 58,000. They always say there are 3 lies in this world: lies, damned lies and statistics. The statistic I point to is how little it depreciated in 13 years. I think that speaks to the value of NSX ownership.

    Good bye and thank you

    Thank you. If you lived here, the quality of life would outweigh not having a decent place to enjoy an NSX. When I lived in DC and dealt with all the DC b.s. and the overpopulation or if I just was having a bad day, an accelerating drive in the NSX made it all go away. Now a 100' walk from...

    Good bye and thank you

    paid $46,900 in early '98, got $24500 - orig. dealer threw in CD changer but only mods I did were $400 - powder coated the calipers got the standard TL, and paid the balance on AmEx for the miles :tongue: have a demo until they locate what my wife wanted; when they locate it, they'll deliver...

    Good bye and thank you

    Today I traded my NSX so my wife can have the car of her choice, a 2011 TL. I had to face facts: it was a garage queen. I averaged fewer that 1700 miles a year. I live on an island with almost nowhere to let it out. Add to that the fact that I live on the 1st hole of a golf course and only had...

    Change or Not change timing belt

    Reading Prime convinced me to QUICKLY get my TB changed - 15 yr./ 50K :redface:- and, being a bit isolated, I did it locally at a Honda dealer, got it back and it ran rough so I took it back and they got it right the 2nd time. $1907 + tax for TB, WP, and other parts usually assoc with this...

    Hose replacement

    No, just the hoses and thermostat. Dealer just countered with $1000 for P&L

    Hose replacement

    The Dealer's "discounted rate" was $972 + tax. He then came down to $700 when I told him Prime lists it at $600-$700.:tongue: "Discounted parts," including thermostat, were $359.:rolleyes:

    Hose replacement

    I was so stunned by the price that I didn't write it down but I think he said $864. And yes, am VERY bad, got to where I don't go very far for fear of hose failure. But, and I know these are famous last words, the hoses feel very flexible :rolleyes:

    Hose replacement

    I have a '94 with the original hoses and know I'm WAY past due replacing them. Some time ago, reading one of the threads, someone recommended Nabil in Orlando, FL. I just called him and got a price that, for P&L, is less than the labor charge alone at Honda and Acura dealers in the NE FL/ SE...
