NC1 Purchase help

[artg82]

Hey everyone, proud owner of a 1st Gen NA2 looking to get into NC1 and have some questions.

1. Thoughts on 2017/18 v 2019+? upgrades to the car worth the extra cash?

2. Best dealer in So Cal to work with if considering new? Any discounts/rebates?

Any additional advice is appreciated. Thanks!

what cost differentials are you seeing between 17-18 and 19's?

 

[artg82]

I just began my search and I'm seeing a 10-15K difference if I'm not mistaken.

 

[docjohn]

well the 19+ upgrades decrease lap times by 1-2 seconds...so is that worth 10-15k to you?

 

[artg82]

Not looking to track so no, not worth it to me. Aside from that, any other notable differences? Thanks

 

[docjohn]

tires and colors.....In your 17-18 search make sure all tsb's/ recalls were done for the early cars esp gas tank and 3'rd light..

He's not in SoCal, but I highly recommend reaching out to [MENTION=32732]powdbyrice[/MENTION] at Acura of Fremont.

Another Dealership to consider is Tustin Acura (DCH Acura). They have a trained Tech for the new NSX as well as a really great service manager Sarah Posell. They may be able to find you a decent used NSX as well.

There's at least one thread here about going from a 2017 to a 2019 NSX. You may find it interesting:

If you need any help getting the list of factory options for a car, want to check and see if it was a car impacted by the recalls, had any other warranty work performed, or anything else about a specific car's history feel free to send me a message as well.

Ask seller for documents also.

From what I see and understand the NC1 NSX is rock solid. This time around the car was designed to be tracked so even if someone abused the car it is built to handle the load. While there are always people coming out of the wood work complaining about the car is too expensive, or they should have used a common engine, or stripe the electric motors and give me a regular car, .. The new NSX seems to be built with the same attention to detail that our earlier cars enjoyed. I typically don't worry about recalls as they are free to the owner, it is the small crap that goes bad and requires repair after repair. Nothing here at all. Just a matter of getting the options you want on the car.


You won't find an aftermarket setup for a carbon fiber roof and the XM Radio Antenna. The Ceramic Brakes are expensive, look great, but if you are going to track your car a lot then that can be an expensive option. My personal take is I would rather have the best brakes and pay to replace components as needed. Having said that the steel brakes are also heavy duty. From all the cars that I have looked at the differences in build have been around the amount of carbon fiber. Almost all have good seats, stereo upgrade, and later models steel brakes (to keep the overall price lower).

Oil changes are more expensive then what is typical, requiring a lift, average $300. The 12 volt battery often gets replaced. This car should still have it original warranty in tact. I would bet it did not sell till 2019 or there about. Good luck and welcome to the owners group! What color?
