Would you say the 97 is a better buy than the 99 with its lower retail price (at least $10k less)? Since they are pretty much the same car (no mechanical or interior differences), would you pick a 97 over a 99 with less mileage and cost less at the same time? Why or why not?

 

I would get the 99 if I could afford it due to the chances of finding one in better condition.

 

What if you find a 97 with less mileage than a 99.. I"m assuming the condition will be better if not the same consider it has less miles.

 

Then take the 97 since resale value will be not that far apart. What kind of changes are in between the two years? I'm sure the 99 will in someway have more luxerious items somehow.

 

There are no significant differences between the standard NSX models from '97 to '99; the only difference was a slight modification to the throttle computer. The Zanardi model was available only in '99 though.

 

Is it possible for a 97 to get that software upgrade?

 

It's not significant enough to worry about. You'd be wasting your money.

 

Nice to know.. Thanks everyone.
