Seinfeld's Car Is Up For Auction

Looks beautiful in pics, love the color combo. I really need to see a Nord Gray in person.
You mean Nord Ghey?
Hey, I’m bidding on it and I’m offended, lol.
Great car and a great auction. It being #4 is something that the price doesn't reflect and someone may walk away with a heck of a bargain.
The color combination is a big winner, I really like Nord Grey and was sad to see it go. I was always baffled that Acura went with Jerry as I think he is a total prick and he is a huge porsche fan. Didn't surprise me in the least that he ditched the car. I would have gone all in with Jay Leno if I were in Acura marketing.
I will be cheering you on The Kid!

Really? Seems like a really, really nice guy! I've seen his stand up routine and hear him on Spike's Car Talk radio podcast, seems like a genuine car guy and true gentleman. Like very approachable and cool.
That being said, the Seinfeld provenance has little to no value to me. People associate him with Porsche. It's a big option car, actually EVERY option but a few more bids and I'm out. Nord Grey would be my second to last color choice, black being the only color I wouldn't buy. Between the $5k fee, transport and everything else, I can order a brand new BASE with nothing which is exactly what I want for the same or less.
Personal preference I guess. Despised him in his show and every time I have seen him in anything he has just rubbed me the wrong way.
I would bail if you aren't looking at buying this for the novelty of it being #4 and an exclusive purchase. I don't expect this to go for a deal as it has too much added value as a Car Show novelty item. My projection on this auction is sale price around $150-160k, but I wouldn't be shocked if it creeped even higher than that.
Are you the "dude"? Dude.
I might be
I was a potential bidder but it does not really make sense upon reflexion. For me the most important thing besides wanting the car is the 4yr warranty. A new 2018-19 decently optioned car can be had for about $135-$140K. This one (not my #1:color but acceptable) would have to be under $120+5 to make sense with less than a year left on its warranty. (I like Jerry but I dont think his talent rubs off extra $ on the car).
IMO #4 is not an asset. I am sure a bunch of production tweaks and unannounced improvememts must have been implemented in the first year or two. My 2c

Exactly my thoughts, Looking like a Curva Red, zero option car with Y Spokes in my near future.
I know a dealer, that might be willing to cut you a pretty good deal!!!
Who me?? I kid, I kid...:congratulatory:
...or Colonel Angus
Colonel Angus is an acquired taste
$146k. Congrats to the new owner. Solid number.

Thanks... quick interweb search and that’s it. I wouldn’t mind having a Honda Jet. Bet they’d throw in an NSX.
