I'm looking for valued NSXers opinions:
Looking at 2 cars, both 91, same color

Car 1 - $38k all original, 10k miles, in snap ring range, has had minor paint work for dings/chips (now looks perfect), no other issues.

Car 2 - $32k, 54k miles, out of snap ring range, has new clutch, will need timing belt/waterpump, Has the following mods, Comptech headers/exaust, Intake, springs, slotted rotors, 18"/17" wheels.

The 6k price diff isn't a factor for me. I like the mods but not enough to pay to add them to car 1. Neither car would be a garage queen. But I do worry I might not enjoy car 1 as much for fear of rock chips, parking lot damage, while car 2 has minor blemishes already so in a twisted way would feel more suitable for an everyday car.

Which one seems like the better value, Perspectives anyone?

Thanks

I would get car #2. Snap ring problem is quite a big issue. Looking at least $1500 and can go up to over $7000. Also, car #2 have some goodies, and it won't be a garage queen anyway. 54K mile sis nothin btw.

The prices sound reasonable. The first car would be fine for someone looking for a perfect low-mileage garage queen. The second car would be fine for someone who would enjoy the mods and put a fair amount of miles on the car. You're in the second category, so your choice should be pretty obvious; there's no need for you to spend the extra $6K.

Go with the second one.

As long as you like the mods on #2, it sounds like a better car for what you want and the price is quite good.
