wow seems like we have quite a few nsx owners here on clublexus huh? Coconut and MrIan, nice rides!!!!!!!

It's tempting to get a used NSX. Just a handful available in for sale in the Toronto area, and still selling for $45-75K. Here's one of the higher-end ones for sale. That interior is stunning.
and not to mention nsx was ridiculously ahead of its time that even now (25 yrs later) it still look somewhat modern especially exterior. interior, some features are very dated, but the layout is still pretty nice imho

and yes, i have to say the nsx is a great investment, as expensive as they are now. they just don't drop in values, in fact slowly creeping up. i daily my nsx and i think if i sell it now, i probably won't lose any money. insane.

when i bought the car, i asked myself, this is insane (as in stupid), spending so much money on a 10+ yrs old car (mine is 02), it doesn't make any sense. well, close to 2 years later, i see it makes a lot of sense compared to all the cars i have owned, both from financial or fun-to-drive point of view

one thing i still don't entirely like though is the attention. the stares i get from people on the road is not comforting and sometimes create dangerous situations. and sometimes it's a problem getting into the car and drive off a parking lot

You mean you don't like the attention and stares that you get from "guys", right?
