Hi everybody. Boy does it feel good to be around people who understand my obsession with the NSX and don't give me funny looks.
I just wanted to ask all you NSX aficionados out there to help me make a difficult decision. Here goes...New or used?
I'm only a college student, ready to hit the work force in a couple of months, and right now, in my financial situation, I can only DREAM about owning an NSX while puttering around in my 1990 Civic. (say a prayer for me, please) Its been my dream for the past few years (ever since I laid eyes on one) to own and drive one, but I wasn't sure whether I should save a bit and buy a used one, or save a LOT and buy a fresh, new one?
Both sides have their advantages and disadvantages. I'm sure all of you take excellent care of your babies, and the NSXs out there are probably the most reliable used cars you can think of. But there MUST be something about buying one fresh on the odometer and raising it like a child.
It'll be a few years of saving before I can even PLAN on buying a used one, and it will be a LOT more years of saving to even consider buying a new one, but I still can't make a decision. Should I get one as soon as I can? Or wait until I can be the first owner of an NSX? Until either one happens, I'll keep playing with my toy NSX and flipping through the brochure from Acura. I would welcome all of your thoughts on the subject.
Thanks in advance!

p.s. - did any of you see that recent Honda TV commercial with Alex Zanardi?
