i just looked at a black 98 6spd w/38K miles tonight, and i'm considering putting money on it right away to hold it so i can arrange to buy it. i don't have much nsx knowledge, so i was hoping all you experts here could help me out. maybe if i tell you what i noticed, you could tell me (1) if you would consider buying this car, and (2) about how much you think it is worth. I'd appreciate any advice you can give. i'm affraid if i hesitate, the car will be sold soon. Thanks!!!
- the dealer bought it at an auction in PA, so i have no idea how many owners it had, or if the oil was changed properly, or if any other service was done (water pump, etc.)
- the body was in great shape (no dings), but the paint had a good number of chips and scratches that were touched up, and there were several long/deep scratches under the passenger door, as if the car scraped a curb.
- the car ran pretty strong and smooth, but the engine sounded kind of loud at idle, and when i would rev it, it would be rough, but only at a certain rpm range.
- the clutch chattered when i would pulled out from a stop.
- when breaking, the rotos seemed to be a little warped.
- wheels and tires were in great shape.
- leather and interiod were in great shape, a few holes in the center column from a previous cell phone mount.
- the dealer said he would get the car checked at an acura dealer so i could make sure it wasn't in any accidents, that the engine was ok, etc.
Thanks again gang!
