2005 NSX-T Reserve Not Met: $336,000 Wasn’t Enough
Supercharged 2005 NSX-T with only 3,000 miles sees a $336,000 bid, but the seller decides that’s not enough to let it go.
It’s no secret that low-mileage examples of the iconic mid-engine Honda/Acura supercar are fetching some downright insane numbers. Moreover, 2005 NSX examples are particularly valuable, as it was the final year Honda produced the first-generation NSX. Still, to turn down a viable $336,000 offer is pretty nuts. However, that’s exactly what this Kansas City-based Acura dealer just did. Sure, it has extremely low miles and is technically still a brand-new car since it’s never been titled. Given its modifications, though, is it really worth more?
Jay Wolfe Acura in Kansas City offered up this supercharged 2005 NSX-T on the iconic automotive auction website Bring A Trailer. It is worth noting that, despite not reaching its reserve, the seller did accept an offer of $350,000 later that same day. So, if the question is whether or not an NA2 NSX is worth that kind of money in this condition, we can’t really argue that the answer is yes. Someone paid it. If you ask if the NA2 NSX is a $350,000 driving experience, though, we think the answer is a hard no. Of course, the buyer of this car likely won’t be driving it all that much. So, let’s just look at the cool car and call it a day, yeah?
Preserved to Perfection, and Priced to the Moon
Before we get too far into this, it’s worth noting that Jay Wolfe Acura didn’t pull this number from nowhere. In April 2025, a similar-spec supercharged NA2 NSX brought in $370,000 on Bring A Trailer. As of now, it’s the most expensive facelift-first-gen NSX sold on the platform. So, it’s not exactly a stretch to think a car with 6,000 fewer miles could bring a much bigger number. That said, the car market is a bit down at the moment, and this car is arguably less desirable from a modification standpoint.
This car, despite coming with the stock parts, has a hefty amount of modifications. The selling dealer ordered this car new and modified it in-house, so there’s at least some confidence in the work done. It has a Comptech supercharger, coilover set, toe links, sway bars, short shifter, and exhaust. In addition, it has a set of staggered Work wheels and a Comptech big brake kit. We can’t make any official statements here, but given those modifications, it’s safe to assume they were, you know, tested. Obviously, the vehicle has been well cared for, but buyers dropping this kind of money must have some concerns about how it was driven over its 3,000 short miles, right?
Does it Really Matter?
Ultimately, it begs the question as to whether it matters how many miles are on a car below a certain threshold. It seems that it doesn’t, at least to some extent. Especially given that this is a “new car.” (Side note: that whole scheme is a bit of BS, too, honestly. Someone was driving it. Someone modified it. Title or not, it’s a used car. Let’s be real, here.) One could argue that the economic timing of this sale stopped it from being $400,000 instead of $350,000. Who knows? Better yet, who cares?
We’re happy for the new owner, and we hope they enjoy it. Unfortunately, we feel it’s quite safe to assume they won’t enjoy it the way the NSX engineering team intended. In all likelihood, it’ll be another performance-oriented vehicle tucked away in a corner to someday be sold to someone else who also won’t drive it. What a joyous life for a sports car. We hope to be proven wrong, but hopes aren’t high.
