Welcome to the forums.

The FAQ has a lot of answers to Frequently Asked Questions. The table of contents is at http://www.nsxprime.com/toc.htm

For a list of changes for each model year, check out http://www.nsxprime.com/FAQ/General/changesbyyear.htm

The "snap ring" problem (which only affects certain cars) and the window regulator problem (an inexpensive preventive fix is available) were fixed prior to 1994.

You know, Ken, for any new visitor to post to this site and see the 'FAQ Nazi' as the first response, must be a frickin' riot! I'd love to be next to someone seeing it for the first time without understanding where it came from. LOL. You crack me up.

I dont know if you will "save money", ultimately you will end up spending it in mod's!!!

Seriously, if you could find a clean 91-92 I would buy that over a 94 to have more money to drop into the car later.

I agree with everyone else, get a clean '91. There is virtually no difference between a '91 and '94, and as long as you check to make sure it is either A) Out of Snap Ring Failure range, or B) has had it already fixed, you shouldnt have any problems whatsoever.
 
I think there are several significant advantages to the '94 over the '91:

1. The larger seven-spoke wheels (assuming you're not planning on going aftermarket)

2. Time-based maintenance (e.g. timing belt, hoses, etc) won't be overdue

3. It will always be worth more in market value than a '91.

How much these differences are worth paying extra for, well, that's a personal decision for each of us.
 
I don't know about a '94 always being higher in value. Since '91 is the first production year, when the NSX hits collector car status '91's should be of equal or higher value than a '94.

Extremely unlikely - particularly with six times as many '91 cars around as '94.

Maybe, maybe not. Speculators and the market will control pricing. My guess is that a low mileage '91 will go for as much as a mid-mileage '94. These '91's already go for as high 40K and I've seen '94's below that or for as little as 5K more (45K). So in a few years who's to say?

'Ya know in the interest of just plain civility or diplomacy, you (nsxtasy) can at least admit to another person having a case.

Of course! I just assumed that the statement was based on equivalent mileage on the two model years. All other things being equal, the more mileage, the lower the market price. And it can be enough to make up for a price difference for different model years. The point I was making is simply that all other things being equal, an earlier model year won't sell for as much as a later model year.

No need to wait for a few years; even today, a '91 with under 10K miles will probably sell for as much as a '94 with say 70K miles.

'Ya know in the interest of just plain civility or diplomacy, you (nsxtasy) can at least admit to another person having a case.

If you're as interested in civility as I am - and I am - then perhaps you'll admit that comments like this unprovoked one of yours aren't appropriate here any more than the inappropriate comments I may have made and now regret. In most cases, we ought to be able to discuss what we mean. Sometimes we may find that we have a difference of opinion; sometimes we may find that someone got the facts wrong; and sometimes, like here, we may find that we were just making different assumptions, and there is no disagreement at all. But we can do so civilly, to be sure. I'm trying now. I would encourage everyone here to continue to maintain the civil tone that characterized these forums up until a few days ago.

Some folks, like NSXTACY, seek to present accurate data... others do not, either because they are too lazy or do the research, or too proud to ask.

For example, check out resale on antique automobiles, like the MB 300 Gullwing. The last year of production appears to get the highest money, albeit, it is the latest model.

The 94 NSX is the last of the original design. I believe in years to come it will be the most desirable of the 91-94 run.

Yeah! What you say!

Because I'm too lazy to write more.

Nsxtasy: all is good. Peace, love, dove.
