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".

Acura teases new performance EV for Monterey

Fri, Aug 9 2024

Acura is headed to Monterey Car Week with what it's calling a "next generation" performance concept. While Honda's premium subsidiary offered up no details about the car itself, we were offered the above teaser photo. Acura says it will be a "segment defying" sport utility vehicle, but what we're seeing here looks awfully trunk-like. From this perspective, it's really anybody's guess, but one thing is obvious: Whatever this thing is, it's no mere ZDX offshoot. Here's Acura's announcement in its entirety, should you be interested in parsing it yourself: "Acura will once again take center stage during Monterey Car Week for the world debut of an exciting new concept vehicle. A segment defying sport utility vehicle, the dynamically styled concept previews the performance brand's next generation all-electric model – the first to be built in Ohio on the company's new dedicated EV platform." The most significant takeaway here is that last bit. Being on a new dedicated platform means that this car has nothing to do with the current Honda-Acura EV offerings, both of which are based on architecture shared with General Motors. Honda has already announced that it will migrate its mainstream EVs to a new, in-house "0 Series" platform in the coming years, with an initial focus on passenger vehicles followed by expansion into people-mover territory. We've yet to hear anything concrete about a parallel program at Acura, so this could very well be the first breadcrumbs to that effect.  For now, that's all Acura has to offer. Keep your ears to the ground during Car Week for more. 

Honda profit declines on semiconductor crunch and raw material costs

Wed, Aug 10 2022

TOKYO — HondaÂ’s fiscal first quarter profit fell 33% from last year as a global computer chip shortage, a pandemic-related lockdown in China and the rising costs of raw materials hurt the Japanese automaker. Tokyo-based Honda Motor Co. reported Wednesday that its profit totaled 149.2 billion yen ($1.1 billion) in the April-June quarter, down from 222.5 billion yen ($1.7 billion) a year earlier. Quarterly sales slipped 7% to 3.8 trillion yen ($28 billion). Honda kept its profit forecast for the full fiscal year through March 2023 unchanged at 710 billion yen ($5.3 billion). The semiconductor shortage has hurt all the worldÂ’s automakers, including Honda, despite strong demand, and the manufacturers have been scrambling to secure alternative suppliers. Honda, which makes the Accord sedan, Odyssey minivan and Civic compact, sold about 815,000 vehicles last quarter, down from 998,000 vehicles the same period a year earlier. Auto sales dropped in almost all regions around the world, including Japan, the U.S. and Europe. “I ask for the understanding from all those who are still waiting for their vehicles and vow that our whole company is doing its utmost to make the deliveries even a day sooner,” Chief Financial Officer Kohei Takeuchi said. Takeuchi said the semiconductor shortage curtailed motorcycle production as well as car production, adding to uncertainty about future prospects. Honda said the recent lockdown in Shanghai was among the causes of the shortage in computer chips supply but declined to give specifics. Although U.S. sales are potentially facing a dent from recession worries and other economic hardships, Takeuchi acknowledged he was more worried about the shortage problem and producing the cars customers were waiting for. Takeuchi noted that motorcycle sales for the quarter, which grew to 4.25 million motorcycles from 3.88 million a year earlier, were going strong, especially in India. The cheaper yen and cost cuts helped maintain profitability overall, he added. The yen has been at a two-decade low against the U.S. dollar. A cheap yen has historically worked as a boon for exporters like Honda by boosting the value of their overseas earnings when converted into yen. But it also increases costs for imported components and materials. JapanÂ’s top automaker Toyota Motor Corp. reported recently that its fiscal first quarter profit fell nearly 18%. Nissan Motor Co. saw its quarterly profit plunge to less than half of what it was a year earlier.

Honda recalls more than 750,000 vehicles to fix faulty seat air bag sensor

Tue, Feb 6 2024

DETROIT — Honda is recalling more than three quarters of a million vehicles in the U.S. because a faulty sensor may cause the front passenger air bags to inflate when they're not supposed to. The recall covers certain Honda Pilot, Accord, Civic sedan, HR-V and Odyssey models from the 2020 through 2022 model years, as well as the 2020 Fit and Civic Coupe. Also included are the 2021 and 2022 Civic hatchback, the 2021 Civic Type R and Insight, and the 2020 and 2021 CR-V, CR-V Hybrid, Passport, Ridgeline and Accord Hybrid. Affected models from the Acura luxury brand include the 2020 and 2022 MDX, the 2020 through 2022 RDX and the 2020 and 2021 TLX. Documents posted Tuesday by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration say that the front passenger seat weight sensor may crack and short circuit, and fail to turn off the air bag as intended. The sensors are required to disable the air bags if children or small adults are in the seats. If that doesn't happen, it increases the risk of injury. Dealers will replace the seat sensors at no cost to owners. Owners will be notified starting March 18. Honda says in documents that it has 3,834 warranty claims but no reports of injuries or deaths from the problem between June 30, 2020 and Jan. 19 of this year.
