Want to be an owner

Hello everyone, socal native here. just taking a minute to introduce myself. just joined about two days ago. i'm seriously considering a brz limited. i'm 99.999% sure i'm getting one. as soon as my current car sells i'm heading to the dealer, or looking for a private seller. brief history on my cars, started with 00 Civic SI, then two evo 9s, then and still have a nsx, which is the one i'm selling. its not a practical car for me, i need something i can drive comfortably. so with that said, hope to become and official member when i get my brz. dont want to break any rules, but just putting this out there, if anyone is interested in trading for my nsx lmk lol. i'm currently parting it out to sell.

Welcome to the forums! What year is the NSX? (I'm not buying it lol)

Good luck with the sale.

i'm not trolling, i'm seriously getting rid of it. yes its a rare car and a collectible for many people. problem is that i'm not that type of person. i like to drive. why not drive the nsx more then? cuz i'm always paranoid something is going to happen to it when i go out. I think i'll just be a bit more comfortable in a brz, which i haven't even test driven, i just know i like it lol. here are pics for those who are curious lol

Welcome! There are several NSX owners that are also BRZ owners on here. I do get what you mean though... I barely drive my nsx now, and I do feel that there's a lot of similarities between the two cars. If it wasn't for the fact that late model nsx's are actually appreciating in value, I would consider selling it as well and just keep the BRZ. I'm sure you'll love the BRZ as long as you aren't expecting it to be anywhere near as fast as the nsx.

oh yea definitely dont expect the same level of power. i know i'm downgrading in that department, but its no big deal for me. i just want a modern car and after looking at what gives me what i need, the brz does that and looks good at the same time. i also like modifying my cars a bit, and there are plenty of companies supplying a lot of parts.

How can you sell the NSX lol. And yes, ditto the power compared to the NSX is nothing lol. Do what I do/doing. Keep NSX as a weekend you and DD a frs/brz. I love the frs, such a fun little thing but has no comparison in power to what my NSX puts down. And actually, the NSX is more comfortable to me, I guess my height puts my shoulder blades too high in the seat and the bolster bugs sometimes.

Wow! That is a nice and well kept NSX. If I had the money and the space, I'd buy it! Just out of curiosity, how much did you say you want to get for it?
