Hello car enthusiasts!  Let me start by saying, I love the NSX and I love THIS NSX!  It was my childhood dream car, and I have since been fortunate enough to own 3 of them : )  I strayed along the way, with a classic e30 M3 and a 911 C2, my other two childhood dream cars.  Neither of those cars offered the same reliability, affordability, exotic looks and "visceral" sports car feel- in other words the NSX is my grail!  


Fast forward 16 years since my first NSX, it's been a remarkable run for both the NSX and my ownership experience- how many people own the same car (model) for that long?!  That alone speaks volumes...But alas, I'm a relatively old fart now, priorities change, tastes change.  Today I'm a family man;  not the adrenaline-fueled, twenty-something bachelor I once was. I just bought a Grand Cherokee and I have a company car on top- so the the extra cash would be nice.  This is the only reason for this sale.  Now onto the details of this phenomenal car!

HISTORY/ CONDITION:  

This NSX has been owned by a technology icon and then 3 anal retentive NSX enthusiasts & club members.  It was first purchased by Steve Wozniak, that's right, Apple co-founder "The Woz"!  I have service records dating back to his ownership, from the original dealership- Los Gatos Acura, CA, the next two owners, to present (I'm the fourth).  

This NSX is a reasonably low mileage driver's car.  These cars are meant to be driven, and although it is not daily driven, it is not a garage queen.  It is a used car, it is NOT immaculate, but it is excellent condition.  If you are looking for an all original, rarely driven, flawless garage queen- this is not the NSX for you.  If you want an NSX that you won't hesitate to drive or park;  an example that has been loved, well-maintained, documented, sorted & tastefully modified by enthusiasts- look no further!!!  Sometime during the second ownership, the NSX was in a minor fender bender (side-swiped, no frame damage), affected panels replaced, multi-stage repaint.  The rest of the car was wet-sanded, buffed & clear-coated.  All work done by a reputable shop.  The third owner lived in Boston and during his tenure, both front & rear bumpers had minor damage (did not warrant replacement) from parallel parking in the city- both bumpers have since been repaired & repainted.   

As she sits today, there is one paint chip the size of a pencil eraser and there is inevitable curb rash on the front lip spoiler from when I pulled up too close to the curb while parking. You can either remove the spoiler and have it resprayed off the car, or take it to a detail shop that does airbrush touch-ups w/o having to remove spoiler (I've done this before, it's less than a $200 job).  Overall, the paint looks uniform, fresh, wet and new.  There are no dents and I haven't spotted any dings.  Cosmetically, I would rate the exterior 8.9/10.  The interior is very clean and in excellent condition for a car of its age.  There is minor imperfection on the driver's side arm rest trim- just slight wrinkling of the metallic finish near the edge.  There is minor wear at the driver's side seat bolster, but overall condition is above average. I would also rate the interior 8.9/10.  This NSX has been garaged its entire life and it shows.  For all intents & purposes, most admirers think it's a new car- I get thumbs ups, cell phone pics taken, and compliments all day long.  The CARFAX is clean.  I have title in hand.  You will not be disappointed!

MECHANICALS:

First off, everything works EXCEPT the ABS pump recently went out, which is not uncommon for older NSX's.  The only thing the driver will notice is the ABS indicator light will come & stay on while driving. The brakes are otherwise functional under everyday driving/ braking conditions.  Some track drivers will actually delete the ABS system and Dali Racing sells the kit to do so.  I have been comfortable driving it, so I'm leaving it as-is.  My asking price reflects this.  I have maintenance records since day one.  

Last fall, all fluids were changed (it's been driven less than 200 miles since):  DOT3 brake flush, oem transmission flush, oem coolant flush, air filter cleaned & BG44 added.  Mobil 1 oil changes.  Emissions & safety inspections current.  The next preventive maintenance procedure will be the timing belt & water pump, which should be done at 90K, she currently has 77.5K on the clock.  This NSX starts right up, drives solid, true, pulls hard, no clutch slippage, no leaks etc...This NSX is not in snap ring range.  She is ready to drive until the 90K service mentioned above.  

MODS:

This NSX has tasteful, cosmetic & performance mods.  My goal was to slightly modernized her, while retaining its "old school" roots.  Everything has been installed professionally, with careful attention to detail & retaining a factory OEM appearance.  Buyer will also receive an uninstalled amp & custom NSX specific subwoofer (designed to go into the passenger-side footwell).  The current set-up w/o these components sounds nice.  Frankly, I prefer tuning into the sounds of the wailing VTEC at WOT thru the upgraded performance headers, exhaust, cold air intake behind my ears ; )  It's an exhilarating sound!!! The MODS:

COSMETIC:
- full Wings West aero kit.  Professionally fitted.  Modernizes the lines of the NSX, while retaining an "old school" vibe.  The side skirts have been reinforced, as the polyurethane was prone to "sagging".

- Honda S2000 fixed antenna

2020 Colorado Winter Driver's Notes | Behind the Wheel S02 // E12

Mon, Apr 6 2020

2020 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 I’ve had bad luck with SUVs this winter. Especially performance ones. First, I got a 2019 Range Rover Sport SVR delivered on summers right as two feet of snow fell, rendering it undriveable. Then, coronavirus cancelled Easter Jeep Safari as well as my trip out to Moab in the 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Diesel. Thankfully, when this 469 horsepower luxury mall crawler was dropped off, the sun shone down and the snow (mostly) held off.  The first thing that I noticed was there were a few blank buttons throughout the cabin, something that you may see in an entry model vehicle, but IÂ’m not accustomed to seeing in an AMG. Not a great look for a vehicle with an $80,000 price tag. Thankfully that was where the disappointment ended. As soon as you press the start button, the engine fires up and the exhaust note is incredible. Hopping on the highway ramp near my house, I floored it, and the biturbo V8 had me pressed back into the driver's seat, and this wasnÂ’t even the S version that our staff drove last year. Inside and out, the GLC 63 was everything youÂ’d expect from Mercedes. The interior was immaculate, and while the infotainment wheel and touch pad may take some getting used to for someone who isnÂ’t familiar, by now I have it down so that I can use it without looking. And while the V8 left me smiling ear to ear, I was most impressed by the amount of useable interior space there is. I happened to be moving at the time of this review and while all of my large furniture was shoved into the back of a moving van, I was able to fit almost everything else in the back of the GLC. 2019 and 2020 Fiat 500X Trekking ItÂ’s hard to say goodbye to an AMG and then turn around and be excited when a Fiat 500X pulls in your driveway (I know, I know, automotive journalist problems). That being said, when the red Fiat pulled up, I found myself admiring it. I am very familiar with the 500X. Back in 2016 Autoblog had one for a year as our long term test vehicle. I drove that car everywhere, multiple trips up north in Michigan, and even tracked it at Gingerman Raceway for a few laps before the brakes started smoking.  The 2019 model I had in my driveway and the 2020 model I drove in the snow up in the mountains feel very similar to that car. The interior is stylish and surprisingly roomy. The greenhouse is airy.

Good Samaritans lift car off of hit-and-run victim

Tue, Sep 8 2015

Strangers came to an elderly man's rescue in the Bronx over the weekend after he was dragged under a car by a hit-and-run driver. The 68-year-old man was hit by a red 1997 Acura Integra while crossing a street in a crosswalk on Saturday. Witnesses told CBS 2 the driver didn't stop after striking the man, but dragged him for a quarter mile before parking the car and fleeing on foot. People in the neighborhood who saw the crash ran to help the man as he lay injured underneath the car. It took seven bystanders to free the injured man. Some witnesses chased after the driver, but he managed to escape. Police did not identify the victim. They told the station that he is in critical, yet stable condition at Jacobi Medical Center. The driver who hit him has not been identified. This crash comes less than a week after another driver in the Bronx was caught on surveillance cameras backing into a 51-year-old woman and then driving away.

The Aston Martin DB11 leads this month's list of discounts

Wed, Mar 10 2021

We've got something of a broken record to report this month. The 2020 Acura NSX and 2020 Aston Martin DB11 have swapped places atop the discounts leaderboard for a fourth month in a row. For the month of March 2011, it's the British entry again in the lead. The DB11 earns top billing with an average discount of $24,614 off its sticker price, meaning buyers are paying an average transaction price of $177,206. That still a large suitcase full of bills, but at least it means buyers get to stare at a drop-dead beautiful coupe in their driveways with as much as 630 horsepower underhood. And if you love Aston Martin's svelte sense of style but don't want to spend quite so much money, you could always choose the 2020 Vantage that's selling for around $143,000. That's nearly $13,600 off that car's sticker, which is enough to land in seventh spot overall. Up next, as we've come to expect, is the Acura NSX. The hybrid-powered supercar from Japan is selling for $137,663 on average this month, which represents a $22,340 discount and seems like an exceptional deal for a 573-horsepower technological marvel that can scoot from 0-60 in just 2.9 seconds. That also represents the largest percentage of savings off the sticker this month. In third place for the month is the Audi R8, making March the second straight month that this trio of supercars has led the list of discounts. Buyers are saving $18,331 off the R8's sticker, which equals an average transaction price of $175,508. That's awfully close to the selling price of the DB11, for those lucky enough to be deciding between the two. Related Video: Driving Iron Man's Favorite Supercar, The Acura NSX | Translogic 215
