Which part is boring? If it's the HP you could already go with the IS350.

I might join that club, too; I'm waiting for the new Accord Coupe to come out. It's hot in the pictures. That way, my next set of tires won't set me back $1,021.

^^^ Swapping a IS350 for an Accord is not exactly apples-apples. I can understand the OP trading a 250 for an NSX, but you're wanting to trade a 306hp rwd sedan for a 200hp fwd coupe ??? Btw, you'll go thru pads & rotors faster on the Accord than tires on the IS . . .

how much for those rims$$$$ i sent you a message on another post you had and didnt hear back? r they still for sale and if so can you ship to IL and how much do you want for the rims minus the shipping costs? we can figure that out if the deal makes sense.

stick around and post some pics if you do find a NSX...what a car! you wont get bored with that and you can find stuff for it pretty easy.

either way good luck to you!

Yeah, you're probably right - it doesn't make a lot of sense. I'm just thinking about the $ I could save by doing it. I paid cash for the IS, but now I'm retired and was thinking I could put a few Gs in my pocket with that trade, and it is a nice looking coupe. I couldn't find a coupe I liked when I got the IS. Thanks for the tip on the pads and rotors - Maybe I'll just keep my IS.
