I would say that you should be prepared to go out of state to get the "ideal" NSX, depending the year/color/mileage you are looking for. The first decision you need to make is what you can afford and correlate that to the three different generation of cars out there. If you are looking for the original pure NSX experience then the first generation cars is what you want. The second and third generation cars are easier to drive (power steering) and also have the six speed gearbox, plus a more powerful engine. I would recommend test driving at least the first and second generation cars locally and determine which fits your needs better. Third generation cars are likely to be more expensive and there are less of them available.

The price range I have set is from 26k-30k$. As of mileage, I would like it to be under 100k. My income is about 3500-4k$ monthly, but I want to finance it. I dont think Seattle has any banks that would finance an older car?
my credit union doesn't care how old the car is, they just want the miles to be under 100k.
A NSX with power steering isn't easier to drive unless you're parking it. The power steering is a variable unit meaning as you build speed, the effect of the power steering diminishes.

So you agree it is easier to drive, since parking a car is part of the driving experience :smile:.
Well, in my 19 or 20 years of owning an NSX I don't ever remember an experience of parallel parking the car. I've never parked any of my NSX vehicles on the street that required parallel parking. Consequently, I don't think a later market vehicle is "easier to drive" and I don't think a driver could tell a difference at speed.
Hey, I might be interested in selling my car, I think I may want to get a newer one later this year. My Car is a black on black 95 you can find pictures of it on this forum and plenty of the guys are familiar with my car.
