I CAN'T BELIEVE I ALMOST BOUGHT A USED NSX

IN MAY OF LAST YEAR I WAS GOING THROUGH A MIDLIFE CRISIS AT THE AGE OF 30. I'M GLAD I WAITED FOR THE G-COUPE. THE ACURA NSX WAS A 92' 5 SPEED SILVER WITH 55,000 MILES ASKING $33,000. HAVE I MADE RIGHT DECISION OR HAVE I MADE THE RIGHT DECISION ?

The NSX is a nice car but way overpriced, especially 33k for a 10-year old used one.

Re: I CAN'T BELIEVE I ALMOST BOUGHT A USED NSX

Coming from some one that owns both, you can't really compare the two. Like comparing apples & oranges. While I have to admit I really like my "G" the NSX is in a different category. IMHO paying $30K (don't forget this person was "asking" for $33k, you probably could have brought the price down a bit) for a car that originally sold for around $80K ,is hand built, and is a very low production car is not a bad deal. I get way more looks in the NSX than the "G", but with that being said, it would still be a dead even choice for me and I think you had two good cars to choose from so either way you couldn't loose. It's like asking if you want the sexy wild blond or beautiful but shy brunette..........

Re: I CAN'T BELIEVE I ALMOST BOUGHT A USED NSX

You definitely made the right choice. Putting aside the G for a moment, you could have picked a whole bunch of better sports cars built in 1992 that would have cost the same or less. For example, a Corvette ZR-1 for $30k, or a Porsche 911 Carrera for $30k. The only thing the NSX offers is its rare and its good looking. Doesn't offer much performance for the dollar though.

How is the NSX for a daily driver? Is the ride compliant? They are beautiful and a marvel of engineering but I'm not sure I'd get one if it were my only car.

Re: I CAN'T BELIEVE I ALMOST BOUGHT A USED NSX

Mani,

The NSX is a very reliable car and rides great (I have mine lowered w/Eibachs). I have a few friends that use them as their daily drivers. Personally, I don't use mine as a daily driver because it sits so low. I drive a lot and I don't like the idea that I would have to "roll" in & out of my car so many times a day.

Re: I CAN'T BELIEVE I ALMOST BOUGHT A USED NSX

I would buy the G.

krazydeuce: If you asked, "between the sexy blond, or beautiful buy shy brunette".....I would want them both....at the same time!.....hahaha.
