Looks about right. You won't find prices much lower than that, unless the car has some serious problems or a salvage title.

That linked black 93 with 150K miles for $21K sounds about right for that car.
At least the timing belt was done already. The paint flaws and door dings probably put this car down at this price.

Be patient and look for the right NSX. They are out there. I have a 2004 NSX and it's been wonderful. I've driven S2000 and it's a great car, but IMO, it's no NSX. It shouldn't be considering the cost difference. It's great to see so many NSX Primers on here. You will not regret getting an NSX

pvmike on Prime.

Looks like the NSX is beating the S2000 by a huge margin.

Grand Pix White came in all years. My 92 was a Grand Prix White

Championship White is NSX-R only and not offered in the US.

Remember, this is a Honda so the engine if properly maintained can last past 300K. There already have been a few NSXs make it to that point already. There are many well into the 100K and even 200K range as well. Anything under 100K and I'd probably not worry too much about it as long as the maintenance is up to date. After 100K, I'd just keep an eye on the routine things that wear out on engines at the mileage. I wouldn't expect the engine to need a rebuild or crap out until a 300K+ miles though. But, that is just my opinion.

I agree, they will last a very long time as long as you regularly maintain it. When you find one make sure that the timing belt and water pump has been done on it. And you might want to change all the hoses too if it's an older model.

White is one of the more rare colors to find for an NSX, but definitely worth it. There were only a handful of whites made my year. I'm not sure on how many were made for the NA1 though. Good luck with your search.

PS: I believe Grand Prix White started in 92.

I'd pick a NSX. Much more livable car IMO (except being worried about it). My last car was an AP1.

NSX is much more exclusive and sexier as well.

Um, random thread bump? Or is this just to show that CL does occasionally like Honda/Acura?

& to the OP (since the thread got bumped anyhow I figured I may as well ask), how did this turn out for you? What did you get?
