The older a car gets, the more the market value is going to vary depending on condition, rather than model year or mileage. The condition of a 200K+ mile NSX can vary wildly, and this will have a big effect on the price he can get.

Re: interior cleaning Actually, Will Erickson is correct; that section of the FAQ only talks about leather, and doesn't give any advice at all about care for vinyl interior parts. Leather and vinyl have very different composition, and require different products for optimal care.

...which brings up another good reason for having equity in a home, and doing it before getting the car; it allows you to borrow money against that equity on a tax-deductible basis, which you can then use to buy the car. Thus the after-tax cost to you of the interest on the loan is almost...

Exactly. Also, a two-seat sports car is a luxury item, no matter how you look at it; it's not just a matter of transportation, since it's more expensive to buy and maintain than many other cars on the market. If you haven't yet built up much net worth, it doesn't make sense to put what you...

No, but most people - even tall folks - don't have a lot of problem with it. Until the last couple of months, when supplies have started to dry up with the anticipated discontinuation of the NSX after this model year, you could have bought a new NSX-T for $73-75K, which some folks did. For...

Re: No time What about an extra 12 to 14 seconds? :D Just kidding...

Six packs sell for just under $24 at Sam's Club, and they carry the NSX-recommended 10W30.

What does the "LE version" mean? When I look at eBay, it looks like most of the versions of Photoshop sell for several hundred dollars. Photoshop Elements 2.0 lists for $99 new, sells for $59 at (of all places) walmart.com (although I was hoping to find something for less than that...) sells...

The policies regarding late registration and cancellation are clearly explained in the event brochure and registration form. These items will be mailed in mid-July to all members of the NSX Club of America and to all NSX owners on Acura's database. By that time they will also be downloadable...

Hi Will, I don't like Armor-All much. It leaves an oily-looking, sticky gloss. I use Zymol Vinyl. It is designed specifically for vinyl, without formaldehyde*, and it leaves the finish with a satiny sheen, which is quite attractive. It is also very pleasant-smelling, as you can tell from...

Certainly not before 200K. Brent's used nitrous, he had it rebuilt around 190K and if I recall correctly, it turned out that it was in such great shape that it was probably not necessary except for the peace of mind.

Okay... Just keep in mind that you could probably get a lot of money for them if you decide to sell them. Dali Racing sells a set of four new stock '02 wheels for $4005, and that's without tires. If your tires still have most of the tread on them, I bet you could get close to that much for...

Tire manufacturers specify the range of rim widths that a given tire model and size can be mounted on. This can be found on the tire manufacturer's website and/or that of vendors such as the Tire Rack. For example, if you look on the Tire Rack website for the Bridgestone S-03 tire, you can...

Make sure it's one of the dealers that does a lot of NSX service work and thus is familiar with problems that may crop up on the NSX. That means Woodfield Acura in Hoffman Estates, Pauly Acura in Highland Park, or (if the car is located further north) Acura of Brookfield west of Milwaukee. An...

Track tires aren't necessarily any wider than regular street tires; they come in lots of different sizes. I think you really want to ask what size and model track tires (R compound tires) are available for the stock wheel sizes. Although I must say, if I had a '02-03 NSX, I wouldn't use those...
