Just Joined the group - 92 nsx-photo added

:biggrin: So, I was at a party. Talking cars and this guy is showing me his 08 Corvette - I have a 2001 Z06 that is a driver but also set up for the track. He tells me that he is selling his 92 NSX 5 speed with 165K miles at a great price. Trans was replaced a few years ago, 30K left on belts, drivers seat is torn, no body damage, clean title, CA car from new. Photos soon. So I for less than half of a new Miada, I have an NSX. The price was so good that my son will drive it daily. He was driving a Porsche 924S but now will trade up to an exotic.
I wish I had a Dad like me.

Less than half of a new Miata?? Miata prices range from about $21k - $27k...so that would put you in the $10k - $12k category for an NSX!?!?!?! Wow...that would mean you darn near stole that car!! Well done. I hope your son appreciates it, and loves it!

Okay...so how much? $?

Congratulations on the purchase! By the way...

30K left on belts

Honda's recommendation for changing the timing belt is 90K miles or 6 years, whichever comes first. So check to find out when it was last changed; it may not have hit the mileage interval, but it may be well past the time interval. You really don't want to be driving around with a timing belt that's years past it was due for replacement; if it fails, you could be facing a lot higher expense than the $1200-1600 it costs for the replacement. (That figure includes labor and the replacement of the water pump. And on a '92, you might want to consider replacing the cooling system hoses, too, as good preventive maintenance.)

+1 :wink:

 

[nsx4nix]

:biggrin: Yes, I did get a great deal. I paid his full asking price - 10K. I thought about bargining but that didn't make sence. I have the service records a know about the time factor as well as miles. It is Black/black and will be tracked soon in northern Cal. It needs rear window struts, a new coolant tank, ABS tank and new brake lines. I have to change the fluids, so I will have about 1k into it. It's the best car at his high school. Photos this weekend.

WOW!!

I do not care if you needed all exterior body panels replaced...that must be a good friend to sell it to you for only $10k. Congrats!

 

[Big_D]

Congrats! I wish I had a Dad like you too! I had to buy my own car in High School. I drove a 1977 Dodge Colt...lol

I'd be tempted to "Borrow" his car now and then for joy rides.

 

[Dhalsim]

[demigod]

From that one photo it looks like it is actually in pretty good shape, but more pictures would help. No matter what, for $10k it is one of the best deals I have ever heard of.

 

[WarpDriveKid]

Wow, from pick a steal deal! enjoy!!

 

[akira3d]

Holy crap that sounds like an insane deal.

 

[N Spec]

Wow, very nice deal. And I thought I was lucky to be driving a 300ZX at 16 years old. I had the best car at my school. But your son, he's real lucky, a Porsche and now a NSX before he even graduates. You're a very cool dad.
