The NSX always seems like the car a lot of enthusiasts would love to have, but never want to spend the money on it. The are a bit pricey considering their age/power IMO. Still a fan, I just wouldn't dish the cash out for one unless it was like a 3rd or 4th car.

Have you thought about a used LFA?

if not, NSX is the second closet thing.

What is odd though is the NSX is a bargin. I bought my 92 in 2003 for $33K. If I sold it today (Already sold it to my brother) I probably could get $28K easy. Mine has higher mileage so I probably can't get in the $30K range, but there are still 91-92's with lower mileage selling in the $30K range. That isn't bad considering the car would have aged another 7 years since I bought it.

When I was looking at 91-94's back in the early 2000's the prices were all around $32-$40K. Check what the going rates are for those same years today. A bit cheaper but not much.

Oh yes, I agree. Resale value is steady as a rock. Most people will still compare what you can get for the same price though. It's a shame that Acura build so many great products and let them die slowly.

given the car is already discontinued, the fact that resale value is so strong, that's one big factor why i really want to consider nsx as a fun car

I would suggest driving a 96 / older and a 97 / newer NSX and see if you miss the difference in the engine and then adjust your budget appropriately

There was a gem of a 97 blk/blk NSX in SoCal that got sold for 38-37k. I think that's a good info point on price.

GL and let us know what you do.

Not sure now...I was in-line to do this next year with my wife but I may want to get into buying income-producing assets before I spend anymore money on "want" items like this. Now, if I can get into something that could produce passive income continuously from now til then...then I a definitely in for one; most likely an NSX. Seems like it's a great car!

For about 1/2 you're thinking of paying, you can get a closet rocket - Crossfire SRT vert, which is essentially a Benz SLK.
There are tons on the market, mostly all low miles, and they haul ***. Not good for tall folks - only like 42" of legroom and the ride is harsher than a Carrera, but it will spank most everything out there, both in a straight line and twisties.
the other car I would strongly consider is a Boxster S. You should be able to get a decent one for your $30k budget.
Good luck!
