Can you order one for $128,207? or can you buy one that has already been ordered by a dealer that can't move their floor model? There is a difference.
not any more. all the build slots for 2017 have been claimed.Can you order one for $128,207? or can you buy one that has already been ordered by a dealer that can't move their floor model? There is a difference.
If the leftovers still struggle to sell even at $120K, then clearly it's not about the price, but branding image or simply market fatigue or saturation or a combination of both.

Well they do have 2018 slots but not sure if you can order at the discounted price.
The word is out, they are now starting to fly out of showrooms for prices that are in line with performance.it's definitely not over saturation! :biggrin:
these cars should be flying out of showrooms at $120,000 to $130,000...

Buyers always set the market, and sellers are free to participate (meet the market price that's available) or sit on their product hoping the market will shift upward.
Sellers can influence a market by controlling supply, but only if a product is in high demand. Sellers can also influence demand by meeting or exceeding expectations.
it's too late to turn anything around. with an unchanged 2017 model now becoming the 2018 model, the much hyped new NSX is done.
the first model year always sells the most, look at the NA1 sales. 3200 in 1991, 1200 in 1992. and then a drastic decline from there, with 600 the next year. and that NSX was a lot more competitive in performance and price, with less competition from other brands.
the new NSX is a very nice car, no doubt. but so is everything else. it's all down hill from here... :frown:
Right off the bat forcing the carbon brakes at $10k was a bad idea.
some will like the NSX better, some will like the Porsche better. all a matter of personal taste. i've driven both, and would take the 911 Turbo S every time...
I'm just happy people are getting deals and we have new owners popping up left and right. Welcome everyone. We need fresh material here. I always said I'd have both gens in my garage, just not at the starting price of 200k. For slight cost over the gtr, Nissan will be pummeled.
R36 should be coming soon, then we can talk about pummeling.
This is a little dramatic. By the same token, the 1st gen NSX was done after 1991.
That's the thing, at Turbo, or Turbo S prices, the Turbo (or GT3, etc.) is a clear winner. However, in the $120k ballpark compared to a Carrera S or Carrera GTS I think the NSX is a clear winner.
However, just like Acura is now offering a $30k incentive on NSX, Nissan has been offering big incentives on GTR for a long time now. Incentive goes up and down, but usually it's been about $20k of factory incentives especially if you can take last model year. You can find brand new GTRs all day long for $90k, which is a big difference from $120-$140k on a NSX.
I get emails from different porsche dealers all the time since I've purchased (always used, never new) from 2 different dealers. I have seen turbo incentives @$40k when it is their final leftover car(s) with most likely much higher than base msrp. My friend was a salesman @ Acura way back when NSX gen 1 was new (NA2) and I used to see $69,999 and $798 (maybe it was $698 lease) lease deals if I recall correctly as they couldn't give the cars away. The past 4 months have been strange since I have been away for 11 years on reading prime (even though I have kept my car but didnt drive it) as every day normal people seem to like my nsx more than when they were still being sold new. No more questions of why do you have an NSX or statements such as x car is much faster, quicker, etc
Only thing that has it beat all around is the McLaren.
Just read through this thread. I have to disagree with the many who claim the gen 2 is a bargain, especially because it's a "sport hybrid". Being a sport hybrid only earns you a premium if it puts out performance superior to an equivalent internal combustion vehicle. Being priced higher than a Porsche GT3, and similar to a GTR NISMO, Audi R8, and Mclaren 570 it suddenly doesn't have that much to offer (considering it's not as fast as any of those cars). It's definitely not faster than a 488 (the equivalent of the 308/328 when the first NSX came out).
Acura screwed up thinking this car was going to sell purely based on the fact that it's an NSX. You can't create a platform based on nostalgia for a previously amazing product. The new iteration needs to be at least as amazing in modern day context!
We have to remember the first NSX was usable, faster than its competitors from Porsche and Ferrari, less expensive, more reliable, and less complex. This current car achieves none of that.
