Same here.
The value stays up as a garage queen too.Less mileage and chances of nicks,dents and a accident which would kill the value..

Congrats on your purchase! As the time goes by, it's harder and harder to find a perfect condition low mileage NSX!
If you don't have a big family, I would say just DD this and enjoy the hell out of it, and maybe 10 years later you can still sell it for a good price.

Would that '98 depreciate in perfect condition with low miles?
