Hi there

Hope everyone is having a great day and enjoying their NSX

Located a 1991 NSX, 60000 miles. Automatic. Black with Tan interior.

First owner, old man with 50K maintance done. Car had a new engine put in 35K ago under factory warrante for a rare piston ring problem.

asking 22K (blue book) for the car

Good price?

If it is im going to go and pick it up. What would a car like this be worth normally?

i dont like the auto but im looking for the car for resale ... so excited :tongue:
...

what do you mean by that? are you looking to flip it right away?

If you want to drive it, and don't want an auto, you should wait for a manual.

For the right buyer who wants an auto its worth about 24K - 26K. But beause its an auto the average NSX buyer will not have any interest so 22K is a fair market price.

This must be the one for sale in my area. If you'd like, I could try to take a look at it and take pics.

I wouldn't buy an automatic for resale. The market is too limited.

What, exactly, is a 50K maintenance? There is no recommendation for maintenance at a 50,000 mile interval.

Automatic=Pure Evil...you don't want it...I don't want it....does anybody want it?..very few persons will want it, there was a Silver 92 auto, low miles at a local dealer for 1 and 1/2 years at 23k..it went to the auction from what I recall..JZ

valve job

 

[godspeed01]

i see a few on ebay going for like 24k-25k

same miles.... must be the cool factor of the helicopter

 

[nsxtasy]

valve job

According to the recommended maintenance schedule in the owner's manual, valve clearances should be inspected/adjusted every 15K miles or 12 months, whichever comes first.

Maybe he said "fifteen" and you heard "fifty"?

 

[zahntech]

"valve job" generaly refers to the act of removing the cyl head and then removing all the valves,regrinding the valve seats as nessassary and replacing or polishing the valves and replacing valve stem seals..hopefully a car with 50k has not needed a "valve job" by 50k!...

 

[godspeed01]

wait.... i think its a valve adjustment

im a fool

 

[nsxtasy]

I assumed that's what you meant. So I guess I'm a fool, too.

 

[godspeed01]

lol

Tachyon, are you still avaliable to take a look at it for me? I dont want to haul my ass 500 miles away to check on a car only not to buy it.

 

[pt91]

I don't think tan interior was an option on a 91 black. That combo started on 94 models and only 7 Auto's, as detailed here.

We're all fools, Ken. Some just more so than others. :wink:

hungry later, but eating now?

i dont like the auto but im looking for the car for resale .

THANKS! :biggrin:

The automatic transmission of the NSX has "only" 252bhp while the 5spd transmission version has 270bhp (referring to the NA1 3.0L motors). You do realize that? In addition, the automatic versions have power-steering. Also, 1991 didn't have 'tan' interiors, but rather ivory (offwhite/creme).

My personal recommendation would be not to acquire the vehicle in question unless you already have a buyer lined-up, and maybe even a deposit from them as a committment to their word. And if such is the case, an Acura Pre-Purchase Inspection by a reputable dealer/shop that is proficient & familiar w/ NSX'es should be done. If the NSX in question is behind on deferred scheduled maint./serv. (ie. 6yr/60k AND 9yr/90k), you're looking at about $2400-2600 (+/- $200)... and that's assuming there aren't any wear-n-tear or consumables needing replacement!

Goodluck!

Re: hungry later, but eating now?

Hey there, I'm gonna call the seller now and see if they're available today to have me take a look at it.

What's your commission? Since this is for a flip, to help the OP make money, you should get a cut, right? :wink:

 

[zahntech]

HA! I'm a fool..count me in!

Truth be told, I didn't realize the purpose for this was for resale earlier in the post. If it was a favor for an enthusiast wanting this car I'd have no qualms but if it's going to be bought to be resold for profit I'd rather not waste my time, nor the sellers, to do this.

Good luck.

 

[nsxtasy]

If the NSX in question is behind on deferred scheduled maint./serv. (ie. 6yr/60k AND 9yr/90k)

I think you mean 4yr/60K and 6yr/90K...

 

[godspeed01]

lol

Oh that sucks.

Guess i'll have to drive 500 miles or get some pictures from the owner. I was going to give you 15% of profit for helping me out ($300-$600 for 1 hour of your time and to take a few pictures ).

Ill do all the maintance myself Get 2400$ in tools would be PRETTY SWEET!

Why pay someone else when you can do it yourself, learn new things, get "free tools" and feel a sense of accomplishment? :wink:

As for the buyer lined up.... im really in no rush.

A month or two in my hands is not a big problem for me. Getting a place with 2 car garage next month so i'll have a place to park the cars. 2 NSX can keep eachother company My mom might be coming down to see me and i sure as hell aint letting her drive my supra. so i'll let her drive it around while she is here. Got money saved away for rainy days so i dont need the sale price from this car to pay bills.... or else i would be worried.

I guess interior is ivory then lady said it was tan... she sounded over the hill so eyes might not be working right.

I think i finally sold me black supra! so happy.

One quick question. ANyone have expereince with putting Mobil1 10w-30 in the tranny?

I think im going to get tranny fluid changed out right now. Land lady better not cuss me out for working on my car again already gave her my 30 day notice :biggrin:

Bad idea. I'm sure a search can give more details.
