No owners manual nor maintainance records. $117K is the current asking price. They're too many redflags with the dealership not wanting the car to be test driven, nonrefundable deposit to drive it to an Acura Dealership for a PPI. The car has been on the lot for months. A charge of $1.5 K for their fleet tracking device. Which only helps them track car after purchase (for repo). I checked with Acura about the previous services. Just oil changes.

I would definitely pass especially with the paint mis-match and the potential issues from the accident. I am curious if the selling dealer is aware of the accident/repairs?

They are aware, I was trying to purchase this vehicle the exact same time as FLYER02 but had reserves because of the dealerships lack of responses and lack of willing to provide details. When I saw this thread last night I was curious on the repairs. Purchasing from overseas was my only disadvantage.
On their site they posted the carfax and they bought it at an auction. They probably didn't know the history. I was also planning on purchasing that car, but haven't reached out to them yet. I'm glad a Google Vin search found this post.
Also, pass on all cars if the seller is not willing to do a test drive or a PPI. Plenty of other cars out there.

It's $114,999 in autotrader. I was looking at this, also. Having a "special" paint color often means that getting a perfect match requires the right knowhow. This color reminds me a bit of the Mazda red that looks almost like a chrome red. At least there are many, many owners and authorized auto body shops for Mazdas, I would think.
Problem is that only the PMC is "authorized" to repair the NC1. They have the proprietary Honda paint codes and I'm not sure body shops have access to the same data, so there is likely some guessing involved when mixing the color outside of the PMC. The Andaro colors like Valencia and Nouvelle Blue are tri-coats I believe and especially tough to match.
If I bought this car, I'd assume I'd have to ship it off to the PMC for an inspection of the replaced components and repaint of the right quarter panel. That's gonna be $$$$, so I wouldn't pay more than $100k. Depending on what you could get it for, it might make sense. After all, you'd have PMC-certified repair that would resolve most concerns about the accident. You could get lucky and have them say the repairs are good and just needs paint, or they could say the repairs are bad and have to re-fix everything again. Then, $$$$$$$$.
It is just unwise to pay this much for a car that required unknown follow up repair/recondition. It's better just to buy a clean one without any repair history.

It's $116,999 on Atlanta Autos website. They claim the cars.com price is wrong.
