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:

Planning to dress up as Agent Coulson for Halloween next year? We've got the perfect accessory to complete your Level 7 costume. On eBay Motors at this very moment is an auction for an Acura MDX S.H.I.E.L.D vehicle, one of only 10 made that the seller claims was used in filming of The Avengers.
The crossover is being sold by Scottsdale Motor Company, and while the eBay auction is up to nearly $19,000 with less than four days remaining (at the time of this writing), the dealer's website is asking $42,900 for this piece of movie memorabilia.
What you see is no mere prop, though. This S.H.I.E.L.D. vehicle is a proper 2011 MDX, equipped with the available Technology Package and leather from the factory. The flat black paint was even applied by Acura itself, and the graphics were added by the film studio's art department.

Honda has partnered up with Apple to bring Siri to the Accord, Acura RDX and ILX. Owners who have an iPhone running iOS 6 will be able to ask the software to perform a number of tasks via voice command using the vehicle's on board microphone and speaker systems. What's more, the tech will put the iPhone into an "eyes free" mode, which turns the screen off to help reduce distraction while driving. Honda says it has reworked its Bluetooth and HandsFreeLink systems to accommodate the Siri functionality. While the tech will only be available on three of the company's models right now, we imagine it won't be long before it shows up elsewhere.
As you may recall, Chevrolet integrated Siri into its products with vehicles like the Spark and Sonic, but Mercedes-Benz and Chrysler have also toyed with the tech to varying degrees. The seamless voice command seems to be light years ahead of the tech manufacturers are currently playing with. Check out the full press release from Honda below for more information.

Acura used the SEMA Show this week to remind enthusiasts that it still considers itself a performance brand, teaming with Galpin Auto Sports to build a TLX that highlights Acura's sporting and racing heritage.
The TLX is painted a deep shade of blue, called Andaro, and the color will be used on the NSX supercar when it returns to the United States in 2015. It rolls on custom gray wheels with gunmetal and "liquid smoke" pieces, and they're wrapped in Pirelli P Zero rubber. The exterior design is punched up with a body kit that adds side skirts, a rear spoiler and new bumpers to create a more sinister look.
The TLX has a sport suspension kit with coilovers with 36-way adjustable damping. There's also brake upgrades and custom exhaust outlets.
