just when i thought no one can be as bad as SSFTSX.
I'd love to see a debate between SSFTSX and Tommy about Acura vs. Lexus.

Anyways I promise everyone I'll tune it down. I have come to realize that my aggressive front on approach does not work for this forum. I'll definitely improve my manners and post styling. We all make mistakes though, but the pursuit of perfection should be always a goal for every one of us in every facet of life.

One thing to be an obvious fan of a brand (which, you clearly are)...but, to be that obtuse about it? Well, hah...you're going to be eaten alive in Car Talk.

He must be one of 1SICKLEX's disciples.
I still at how a mega mod on a Lexus forum gets banned from an Acura forum.

Dude that was when I was still driving an ACURA. I just GOT A LEXUS IS 350. That changes my perspective significantly. I thought I was getting the TLX, but now that I'm a Lexus driver, it's different. What's wrong about that?
Do you expect Cristiano Ronaldo to still play for Sporting Lisbon when he got signed to Manchester United?

I was given a Lexus IS this year. I used to drive a 2008 Acura TL and thought this was going to be the end of my Acura Journey.
After looking at the TLX, I am definitely going to be trading in my IS for the car the moment it comes out. My Mom will spot me the rest of the money needed.

i can't imagine the things you would say about 4G TL if your mom got you a TL.

OK guys... Yummy replied and Tommy said he's going to tone it down.
Let's drop it and continue on with out calling him out, quoting him, etc. If he starts up again it's to his own detriment. Let's not fuel the fire now that it's starting to go out. Save that for Ramblings...

IMO that is VERY low mileage for a 1991 vehicle, even for a NSX. It's not the kind of car that sits in a garage, people actually drive those.
#7510
I've dug through some NSXPrime threads & many owners said they DD' theirs for 5-10+ years without any major issues arising. I'm interested in actually using this one, but I won't get a chance to see it til' Monday & maybe have a PPI done to be safe. Would eventually have to pick up a $1-2K beater though to ease the wear on it, though.

I knew a guy who owned a '91 and he said he redlined it every day. Daily driven with 140k miles on the odo. No oil consumption issues, funny noises or performance issues.

FWIW, where I'm at, it has one of arguably the harshest winters in North America and there are people who use the NSX as their daily driver...all they did was slap on winters when it got cold and kept on putzing.
Mind you...you had to wonder about the overall safety given how the roads here are typically dominated by giant SUVs and pickups...the NSX' aluminum shell is not exactly conducive of surviving a "bump" I would think...?

I can't speak about the actual safety of the car, but it must be considered that the vehicle was designed in 1989. Standards were simply lower back then. It is also much lower than the average car, so you'll probably be kissing an SUV's bumper in a side impact. There's a reason why so many cars these days have such high beltlines.
Still worth it.

One on the right for me
Mileage isn't high at all. It is actually priced well. I was debating editing my original comment. Poking around craigslist I found a few similar ones (mileage/price). If I was in the market for an NSX I would probably lean towards a newer model. Just preference - nothing to do with the car.
