It's a mid engine, rwd, all aluminum chassis from Honda. How is this not Subzero?

The moment this guy was involved in it, it went from cool to subzero. Period, end of F'in story.

NSX subzero credentials are right here:

Was looking for a low mileage NSX and ran across this.

I know this car has only 2K miles but is it really worth $77K? Seems a bit overpriced.

From the article:
Clean Acura NSX cars are hard to come by but one with only 2209 Miles is like finding a unicorn, this black 1992 Acura NSX is just that super rare clean with almost showroom new miles. This is perhaps the cleanest NSX we have seen to date. The 77K asking price is a little steep but that should not be an issue for a collector, and this car should only go up in price anyway.

Not overpriced for a collector who appreciates the car for being ahead of its time when it was first offered for sale and in this condition...but there is better performance in many other newer cars in that price range

DarkSunrise · 06-03-2014, 12:38 PM

Holy cow that is low mileage for a car that's 22 years old. (avg of 100 mi/yr)

Superhatch · 06-03-2014, 12:46 PM

Because they were very reliable drivers cars finding one with under 50K is hard, most are near 70-100K, and there are many examples of 200K NSXs out there.

I think 77K is a fair starting point considering I've been lurking on the edges of an NSX purchase for years and haven't ever come across an early model with anything that low.

Keep in mind that a good condition NSX with 200K miles still goes for $30,000.

I was shocked at previous C&C Dallas when I saw a stock yellow NSX with the original window sticker. This thing probably look exactly like when it was first drove out of the lot 20+ years ago... You're paying for the effort of keeping such a legendary car in such a condition. If it's legit, this NSX is worth every penny to me..

Eurasianman · 06-03-2014, 01:20 PM

Not entirely surprised. There's a YouTube video talking about how great and reliable the chassis and engine is on this car. Even after a lot of miles (talking 6 digits), which to me, is impressive.

strat61caster · 06-03-2014, 02:07 PM

Not worth it. With that few miles you HAVE to worry about atrophy, cars are not stable in storage, they degrade.

For $77k I'm sure that preventative maintenance was taken and there are zero issues with treating it as a daily driver from the second you take possession, but you can find that for much less.

Only worth it if you want a museum piece, like others have said these things are perfectly capable of 6 digit mileage, more with anal retentive maintenance and deep pockets, like any other car. Better off picking one up with ~70k at half the price.

a brand new 1992 NSX MSRP was not $77k. You can get a 2000+ NSX for less then $77k. I rather buy a Lotus Esprit for half that much money.

Now that is rare to see.

You sure it was $77K new in 1992 I thought it was in the high 80's.

2004 - $89,000
2005 - $89,000

For that price, it would only make sense to purchase it as a collection piece, not to be driven often —if at all.

If it were a car you intended to drive, 77K buys you a new, nicely equipped Cayman S.

Take your 77k to the local Porsche dealer
