Sorry to hear about the accident. There is one silver lining. The next time you do something stupid and your wife begins to complain, just say "Hey honey, Yellow NSX" That might quiet her complaints.

You made it to www.wreckedexotics.com this morning.....(
I'm glad your wife is okay, but man that sucks to be immortalized like this.
Oh geez... that totally sucks. But if you decide to NOT get it repaired... can I buy the Radio from you?? As well as some other parts?? PM me and let me know!

OP,
Sorry to hear, man
I have the 452's. Ran them on the dragon in a light rain and on the trip home averaged 100+ for 380 miles in the rain with no issues except for one slip accelerating out of a corner on the dragon. It was because I hit the painted center line and the TC made it a non issue. But I'm not suggesting anyone do this.

Falken 452/3s are pretty decent in the rain. This happened due to no tread on the tires, could happen with any tires. I would not malign an entire line of tires over this. Glad to hear your wife was OK, although they say a car can be replaced, something like this is absolutely heart-breaking.

with the low miles it should sell for at auction for about 19-30K

48,030 to be exact

If that's what it went for all I can say is, WOW.
I would have never guessed that high.
For that much it can't make any money for a yard if it is parted out. Someone will butcher it back together and
someone will think they are getting a bargain. So it goes.
That's crazy. If its copart I know a lot of overseas bidders transport these cars to Russia. Where exotics especially rare cars do almost triple what is payed in the states.
I'm guessing he was referencing the "low miles" with the 48.030....not the amount it sold for......if not I'll sell my perfect '05 for $200k, the Russians can have it. lol =p
I am extremely curious what the insurance company offered as the buyback price.

yeah its not sold yet, those were the miles on the clock, I have I mean we all have seen 02+ go for 25-30K easy. now 91-96 any miles, any condition can pull in 18500-26K all day long.
parting it out sure you could make some money but it would take a long time to part out. and how many yellow interiors are out there that people need spare parts ya know.
anyway it just sad to see another one thrown to the pit for vultures to pick the bones. I would have built it back to it beauty and so would have Pbassjo with pride.
the joy I get from seeing a broken hurt NSX drive away again makes it all worth it.

Hopefully somebody will pick it up for a decent price and get it fixed right. The big yellow banana.
Hopefully he will get another one with his money that won't be one with a salvage title.
I wouldn't mind a salvage title car as long as it was done right and the damage wasn't too extensive to begin with, for the right lower price. Then just drive it's wheels off.
It makes you wonder how many are left . . . as more and more bite the dust.

no the auction its at takes like months to get all the paperwork its the worst so its not sold yet it will sell for 25-35K with out a doubt
Well, Shawn, I know you have your eye on this one. I'll bet Macninja does too. Good luck to whoever purchases her for reclamation/restoration. It will cost some money to bring her back and she will forever be branded "salvage" but what a car.
wow, sorry to hear about your car bro.....i know how you feel...you're not the only one who ended up with a wrecked yellow nsx lol....glad your girl was ok....come to think of it, i was doing about 35 also, but i did a butt-load more damage than your car ended up with lol.....
