That is not riced out. Horrible taste in wheels, but not riced out.

Priced around 29,900 that is pretty amazing that the car has retained around half its value even after 14-15 years. I believe the NSX cost around 60-65K when it was first released. Most likely someone will buy it at that price as I rarely see them go for less then 30K unless the mileage is really high or it is not in good condition. Aside from the hideous wheels it is still basically stock. Why someone would put big fat heavy chrome bling rims on such a finely tuned sports car is beyond me but you can easily swap those rims if you buy it.

Iti s true that the early years (Except for the initial premium when it first came out) sold for about $65 out the door. The window sticker on my 92 with the options came out to around $64K. It is also true that good condition early 91-94 NSXs still sell for around $30K. This particular yellow NSX probably wont get that price though. I'd say mid 20K tops. This one has been around and talked about for a while now. It always pops up on ebay from time to time.

Word! If I bought that I would bring my own wheels there and put them on before even leaving the shop. I wouldn't be seen dead with those HIDEOUS 3 spokes.

Wow, look at the seats! Look at the leather located near the hips/back. It is poor/shoddy work! I agree with everyone; those wheels need to go.

Poor taste yes but not riced out. When I saw the headline, I was expecting a HUGE rear spoiler with VTEC stickers across the window and a god awful bodykit. This one just has really crappy rims. As for yellow, I give it a

Yea man, I don't think the car is "riced".... its mostly the rims that look horrible. The shift ****/boot can easily be changed. But I agree that the leather on the seats looks pretty shoddy the way it was sewn in. But they should be able to be fixed with a bit of money.

If the car was still in good mechanical condition, i'd jump on it and spend a tid bit of money to make it look somewhat respectable again. I do like Yellow NSX's though!!!

If you give a good look at the details you'll see this car is sub-par, to put it kindly.

The only thing the nsx needs is some nice deep dish staggered wheels. Besides that the car looks nice. Oh, and I would also chage the interior. Looks too much like a bumble bee on the inside.
