If you are buying from ridesafely.com you have to buy the whole car.

Things are sometimes not reported to CarFax.

Hopefully the pics are stored on a solvent host and not copied directly from the auction site, otherwise you can kiss that picture goodbye too.


I actually really like the idea behind this thread. The NSX forum has a registry for this as well, and it's a great resource. Hopefully this gets stickied.

It's a database, so most likely the mileage was not recorded or entered properly.

Note the "- not actual mileage" part.

Think of these cars as opportunities for the mechanically inclined...a chance for a rebuild (or donor parts to help other frs/brz in need) and a new start...
