Trade for a 92 NSX??

I have a supercharged 2013 frs including authentic Bride Giass II, work wheels + many more.

Some guy on craigslist is willing to trade his 92 NSX plus 15k$ with 20k+ engine miles, 120k+ body miles. List for the price of 40k$

What you guys think?

The NSX has always been my 'dream car' but now i feel its too outdated.

Shieet i say go for it, the nsx is also one of my dream car it very reliable. Looks real good cant really go wrong with it. In the future if u do decied you dont like the NA1 you can always sell it out for pretty much the same.price you got it for.and get back in a used 86 for cheap.

Looks pretty awesome, have you driven an NSX before?

The trade seems fair for the most part, you could probably talk him down a little bit since you're supercharged.

Its a 90s japanese sports car of course its outdated, I'd look at things like ownership costs. Since its a Honda I'm sure the drivetrain is bulletproof and probably pretty basic maintenance stuff.

The interior will for sure feel old but that exterior styling never gets old >_>

If the NSX has been your dream car, I would go test drive it and see what you think - it would probably make the decision much easier. It's over 20 years old now, but could be worth it for a car you love. Personally I think they look incredible even after all these years.

I've driven one. It has great seating position and a peppy motor, but don't expect it to feel powerful though. The gears seemed a little long but then again my personal car was very short geared. Steering is responsive and communicates to the driver well, the one I drove had no power steering and didn't need it.

Car is reliable enough to daily drive, but seating position is very low. Not worth $40k imo. I'd point you towards a c5/c6 z06 if you wanted a performer. I believe stability control is non-existent also. I wouldn't be able to enjoy it fully because MR isn't exactly easy to drive. But LQQK at it!!

Yeah i really like the new c7s. And as you mentioned its lack of power for a 40k car doesn't make sense. Compared to the handling of the twins what do you think is better?

I wouldnt do it. It can be risky since if that thing breaks down then youll have to deal with expensive ass fix + finding the parts for it.

Do you owe anything on your current car and whats an estimated amount that you invested in your current car?

If you think that your car is worth 25k and you really love the nsx then go for it.

Its one of a kind on the road but you'll have to be able to soak up a ton of costs. Did you by any chance get an insurance quote on that thing lol?

I have probably spent 15k$ in mods for my carand owe leas than 10k$. Didnt get an insurance quote, but you do bring up good points. I really love the NSX, but my frs has been my baby all these years.
