Congrats that picture bring back old memories. I remember nights I would just stare at the mid engine setup in that car. I still remember the day I sold the vehicle. I sat on the porch at least 10 minutes after the tow truck drove off wondering did I just make a huge mistake. Oh well back to reality.

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!

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.

I'll let OP chime on this, but I've driven both (and owned an AP1 s2000) : S2000 is more neutral as a FR car. NSX is more visceral and sharp since it is MR, but can easily snap oversteer if you're not careful.

awesome car, the NSX will always be in demand. Personally I'd rather own a dated NSX than a TT Supra.... the comptech supercharger is nice too. Make sure to pass it down to another enthusiats when you sell it.
