Trade for a 92 NSX??

[EzyBrzy]

The $15k on top of the trade can almost buy you another twin, or be used for repairs if it breaks down. AAA is awesome for tows btw lol

Ouch. This is a bad deal for you
Lets just say you owe 10k on loan and hes valuing your car at 25k. Lets say an average frs cost 20k
So thats 15k(He wants) + 10K(you owe) + 10k(money in mods) = 35k that you'll be losing.
Adding the price of the frs youll end up spending 55k on that nsx. Even if you did pay off your loan then the nsx will still end up costing 45k.

If you dont care about losing that much money and want a collectors item then go for it! Ask for ALL OF THE STOCK PARTS <<< $$$$



Ps I understand that Mods doesnt really increase the overall value of a car but this is my opinion based on how much he'll be losing/gaining

I was plan to get a nsx instead of my brz. But I don't want to deal a 20 years old car... All seals, bushing, parts can possibly failing. In addition, every miles and damage would really depreciate that collectable car. I end up getting brz instead so I can truly appreciate the fun of driving. It is a nice garage queen if you have a enough money and space for another daily drive

NSX by far. But I also didn't push it that hard, maybe 7/10.
Car was on the 15/16 stagger on bridgestone potenza s02(max performance tire). Turn in was amazing and exiting on power was great. Just don't come in the corner too hot or you are in for a handful.

Part of the reason for low power is to have a linear(easy to drive) car that is well balanced and very rewarding if driven smoothly.

I'm sure you are aware of the money pit situation. The thing about the nsx is you can't afford to damage it or drive it 10/10.

Also driving an exotic, people won't leave you alone.
5k maybe, 15k no way, you could throw 15k into your car and be "done"

Maybe I am wrong to think this...

Non-stock steering wheel on a car that had an Airbag to me usually means the airbag was blown....aka wrecked.

Also cars like this, people tend to fix them under the table and rebuild them w/o insurance getting involved....

Ask me how I know...

So IF you did want this, be wary, and have a mechanic of YOUR choice check it out.

I understand that it's a dream car and all but I'd advise against it.

It's just... too old now. An S2000? Sure. A 23 year old supercar? Probably not the wisest idea.

I don't know about specific values, but if someone is presenting you with an opportunity to extract most of the value out of a modded car in exchange for a semi-collectible asset that won't depreciate, I'd say that's a very tempting offer provided the car checks out.

I agree-- I don't see how you could go very wrong. I also don't know anything about NSX values though, so it's up to the OP to decide if the trade is fair I guess v0v.

If you care about your finances, I'd take the $15k and the NSX. It will appreciate over time, whereas the BRZ will depreciate. Keep the BRZ if you think you'd be paranoid that someone would hit it when you went out, and if this would prevent you from driving it.

This is a good point. The NSX will go up in value if it has a clean title, can be returned completely to stock, has a stock color, high quality, paint job and does not go up in miles much more. If you are going to have to use it as your daily then forget it. If it will just be a weekend pleasure car then it is worth looking into. Not many car purchases are "investments" but this could potentially be one if it checks out 100%.

Areas of concern should be the engine replacement, paint quality, mods and car history.

Ummm the trade was the BRZ and $15 K for the NSX not $15K and the NSX for the BRZ.

The NSX will appreciate, yes. But if used as a DD the value increase will drop dramatically with every single mile driven. This is an often overlooked aspect of a collector car vs a driven car. To gain or even maintain value you have to severely limit the use you actually get out of the car.

[Chupacabra]

Hard pass on this one my friend.

This particular NSX isn't the one you should look for as it's unlikely to appreciate as quickly as a more original, cleaner example.

I think you'd be giving up too much.

Simply put
*OP going to lose atleast 25k + his Brz for a NSX
*If OP is DD the NSX then the value will drop so its going to be hard to enjoy the car
* Old supercars = More Headache + More money. Even if its a honda
*Insurance is going to be a huge factor. Since they are going to value the car at a different price unless you convince them otherwise.
*Its a Gen 1 (91-94) Here is a list of problem with them:
clutch
hoses
water pump/ timing belt
tires
snap ring
climate control
sound system
Average stuff but be prepared since its an older car!
*Value of a gen 1 stays around 25k-35k for a GOOD condition.

In the end its OP choice. If you like it and can afford it then get it. If you cant afford it then dont do it. You already have a great looking FRS with a Supercharger (something that i want but cant afford). Just remember NO LOOKING BACK!
