Great car and looks like you found a gem of an example of it. Congratulations and enjoy it in good health.
I'm looking forward to hearing your impressions of it,,, my guess is you'll want to sleep in it the first week

when i get a car i expect it to depreciate for whatever it is. of course if i drive more, it depreciates more. but at least i get to really enjoy the car and not just washing it in my driveway 
but again, different strokes for different folks. i am just the kind that if i get a car, it's to be driven.
yes, my money is expensive, so i tend to use every part of it ok what am i saying

Periodically I would check out nsxprime.com, and I'm always amazed by how expensive an used one still is. What gives? Is there really that much of a demand for nsx?

You can't really go by eBay cars. I know first hand of early model NSX's (91-93) with 100K-120K miles that sold for low to mid 20s fairly easily. A good condition 98 NA2 with 100K miles will not sell for $25K. That would be a steal if you were able to buy one for that price. There is a reason why early model NA1's still are very desirable to many. Some of the reasons are its a Coupe, has the manual steering rack, is throttle by cable, and OBD1.

Congrats! Needs a stock front lip and some wheels for sure. 02+ rims will look nice if you can source a set.
8k for 100k miles for me, althought it was more like 18k since I left it modded instead of parting it. And I compare that to the 25k for the 50k miles on the Lexus prior to the NSX. I agree with you Henry - life is short, might as well enjoy it. Why bother saving it for the next owner?
I'm starting to look for one again. I won't daily it this time since now I need more passenger space. But if I were you Henry and I had to drive OC roads most of the time (so much smoother than in LA), I would highly recommend it!
