In 1995 the cars were switched to Targas, and I could not afford a NA2, so I was in the market for a 1993/1994 car, preferably a 1994 red/tan NSX - there is only one problem: only about 35 of these cars, with a 5spd, are in the United States.
I challange you to find a clean 1993/1994 NSX, with records, with a complete service history, with a clean title, and with less than 100k miles, under $30k - it is easy to find a 1991 car, in slip ring range, that needs a $2k timing belt and $2500 clutch service for under $25k, but buying such a car would also not be the best of decisions.
As far as what I paid... I bought the car for what I felt was a good price, and I am happy with my purchase - I have not disclosed the amount I paid, and do not intend to.
In response to some of the above posts... this is not my father's car, it is mine - I bought it, with money I earned personally, and I pay for all related expenses (eg gas, insurance, etc.) - it is my daily driver, and it made the nearly cross-country journey without a hiccup.</TD></TR></TABLE>
congratulations...... im an envious man right now.
just shake off the haters. it doesnt matter if you paid $1 or a million, you bought a car that you obviously researched and are proud of (without boasting) and considering you are 20 years old means even more. sounds like a lot of hard work and knowledge of the business you run. being successful has its perks.
good luck to you. enjoy your new (to you) car.

I love the car, but I have no idea why I feel that way. I mean, they're lovely, they're strong, they're great sports cars, but they're a 15 year old design, with an underpowered engine, very little that's able to be fixed easily, and expensive to keep up with. I just would avoid them like the plague. They were great at the start of the 90s, but since they've been around almost as long as many H-T members, they're starting to show their age.</TD></TR></TABLE>
A new NSX does a 13.2 1/4 mile. About the same as a Ferrari F355. .3 seconds slower then a ferrari 360.
As far as being expensive to keep up with???? Wha??? Not at all.

$2000 Timing belt, and a Z06 costs far less. That's why Honda pulled it. It's underpowered, and old.

LOL, you think a $2000 timing belt replacement is an expensive replacement for an exotic car? Call your local Ferrari service center and ask them for some quotes...

The $10,000 carbon-ceramic brake setup is a good indication of the ridiculous costs that go along with owning a Ferrari
