2002 NSX automatic transmission, Silverstone with Onyx interior. Mileage 26,309.
Viewed 1-3-2020 at Encore MotorCars of Sarasota, Inc – Sarasota, FL 941-922-6337.
Back story:
I was driving to the Florida Keys and decided to run I-75 south through the western portion of Florida and then cross Alligator Alley over to Miami. First time across Alligator Alley for me. Prior to departure I noted eb*y listing of this auto NSX for sale in Sarasota. It is the NSX preceding our 2002 IOP/Orange 1 of 1/only IOP automatic trans. Had to see it. :smile:
There were twelve (12) automatic trans NSXs built for USA during the 2002 model year. This one began its life in New Jersey.
I only viewed the exterior of this NSX. I did not have key / open any doors, etc. I did not hear it run. I was told by telephone before arriving that it was not ready for viewing at this particular time. Entire console had been removed for refurb. I wanted to view it anyway.
Noted:
- listed by Encore as one Florida owner
- their price listed at $89,990
- Silverstone with Onyx interior
- Nexen tires
- Wheels nice
- Front end looks good; headlight pods look good; black mesh lower intake screen beat up
- tail lights both have heavy condensation (moisture) inside – center segment O K
- Driver’s outside seat bolster appeared nice
- Right windshield wiper bent/not making contact with glass; Left windshield wiper missing wind deflector
- Body appears “straight” but I don’t possess much of an eye for this
- front license plate holder in place
- Right corner of deck lid spoiler badly chipped away
- Console was removed for refurbishment – vents in center of I P above it as well
Impression:
- Needs lots of TLC (tender loving care)
- Appears to have been someone’s daily driver and/or commuter
- Why the console was removed and shipped to some “guy” in CA for refurbishment is unknown
- Overpriced

P.S. Getting off I-75 onto Clark Road enroute Encore I had to stop in at Gettel Acura of Sarasota. I met Gen. Mgr. Brian O'Connor ([email protected]) and thanked him for Gettel's ongoing NSX support. Nicest Acura dealership I have visited! Service Dep't was very clean - they had a 2000 NSX in for engine work.
