Sold my IS250 and weekend car to get my dream car (an Acura?!)
Its been a dream of mine since I was 14 to own an NSX and now its finally come true! I sold my garage queen 2005 S2000 with 17,000 miles and my daily driver 2008 IS250 with 80,000 miles a few months ago since I decided it was the right time to get an NSX. The thing about finding the perfect NSX is when you find the right one you need to jump on it immediately or you'll miss out and it could take another 6-12 months or longer before a similar one pops up. I've heard some people on NSX Prime waited 2 years to find their perfect NSX. I scoured NSX Prime, Ebay, Car.com, Autotrader and Craiglist(checking every state) EVERDAY for about 2 months before finding this gem. Within 15 minutes of it being listed I called up the dealership and snagged it. It's a single owner 1998 Kaiser Silver with only 25,000 miles. This is the EXACT year and color I've been looking for. A HUGE surprise is when I found out it had a dealer installed Comptech supercharger! The car will here sometime next week. First thing to do it get rid of those chrome wheels
My lightly modded daily diver IS250. Comfortable but boring
My garage queen S2000. I treated her too well and she will be missed.
Pictures from the dealership. This car is a KEEPER!!!!

Congratulations. Glad to see you finally got your wish.
One thing, though, that may (?) be important if you own an NSX. Let's hope that the all-aluminum body or frame never needs repair, but if it does, you can't take it just anywhere. Only certain body-shops can handle the special body and paint-work required. You might want to get a list from your insurance company of the closest ones to where you live.
Slightly off-topic, but that also goes, BTW, for all-aluminum Jaguars and Audis, too.
