Are there some things I should look carefuly when I want to buy an used NSX? Any special parts or things I should look into it?
Thanks
BTW: Where in the USA is a big NSX dealer which is no ******* and is willing to export an NSX to Europe? I prefer 96up, cause I want 3.2 litre engine
thanks again

NSX Prime's FAQ has what you're looking for. The site appears to be down at the moment - this almost never happens. Be sure to check it out later.

I'm not sure of the model year scheme (US) vs. calendar year (elsewhere, possibly where you are) means there are 1996 NSXs in the world with 3.2L, but here in the US, if you want 3.2L, you'd look for a 1997+ NSX (of course with manual transmission).
Curious: Why is buying an NSX in Europe out of the question? If I recall correctly, 300+ NSX have been sold in Germany and 200+ in Switzerland.

I am guessing that buying nsx on the gray market is a lot cheaper than importing from US. Of course, I don't know how many NSXs are sold on the gray market.
You should check out the Used NSX Checklist in the NSX FAQ.
I think you're much better off buying an NSX that's already in Europe, for all kinds of reasons, particularly legal and regulatory reasons. They're there and you can find them.
You can view NSX sales by year in Honda's Europe/Middle East/Africa region here. It looks like around 200 have been sold since the 3.2-liter 6-speed came out in '97.
