Honda Japan buy back program

[NSXCELERATE]

I got word that in Japan there are very little performance car parts to go around. I also heard that honda buys up worn NSXs over there and refurbs them and resells them, so they do not lose value. Cool!!!

Really? That sounds cool.

That's news to me, I do know there is a "refresh program" for owners who want to have their car refurb to new spec. or keep them the same.

any more info on either of those? i'd like to know more (ie, what parts not to buy, and how i can get my car completely refreshed, and by who.... obviously not the factory that is closed)

So they don't buy me car back???!

Pretty cool as long as they don't start buying USA cars and shipping them back to Japan!!!!

OK what does one have to do with the other?

If there are very little car parts to go around, how does Honda buying and refurbing cars help that situation?

Secondly, how does Honda refurbing cars help anyones resale value? I would think the less NSX's there are on the road the better the resale value of the NSX would be. This is basic supply and demand. Assuming demand is constant if supply goes down, economics dictates that the price will either stay constant or go up.

That's my prediction. It is going to happen after the dollar falls further. It happened with older Ferraris when the dollar fell significantly in the late 1980s. Europeans brought them "home".

Don't know where you got this "word" from but I wouldn't be listening to that source anymore!

It is absolute BS! Honda do not have a lack of parts in Japan for the NSX! Honda are NOT buying up old NSX's and refurbishing them I know that for a fact!

However, Honda do run a "refresh program" as Vancehu said and their prices are available on the Honda Japan website... The refresh programme has also been discussed at length on this site previously as well...

By the way, Honda may not stock NSX parts, but they will be making them to satisfy the NSX owners - when they receive the orders. They are commit to make sure the NSX parts are available to NSX owners for years to come.

For example, I ordered the Zanardi/Type S center console cover two months ago, took them three weeks to get to me, shipped directly from Japan. Don't forget, that particular part was rare for the USDM, only 50 cars were fitted with that special color center console.

The two are not related, I edited my post to reflect that. Obviously it is the refresh program that others are mentioning I am talking about.
On the parts... I asked a friend who does a lot of business with Japan dealing with performance parts. He told me that there are not a lot of performance parts available in Japan. I guess he was talking about used parts?? Maybe someone can elaborate on this..

My NSX was in this buy back program. Luckiliy I could buy my car back but my NSX was in such a bad shape due to several crashes that it came back a little bit different:
