awesome pic chops! Well, I just put my Z on ebay because I have been finding some great deals on NSX's, but I can't justify picking one up while still owning the Z. Anyways, my Z is now listed @ a rock bottom price for a quick sale. I have two potential NSX's I'm looking at:

1. 2002 Yellow with Black interior, only 10k miles- $55k (MINT condition 10/10)
2. 2002 Imola Orange/Orange, 55k miles- $45-50k asking price (Good condition 8/10)

The yellow is spectacular, the seller send me some high res pics and it looks like a brand new car. The orange one is very nice, but not sure because the miles are high (for a NSX).

Thoughts?

Plus you like the yellow

The condition of the car is probably worth the premium

lol, thanks, thought you'd like it

You say high mileage for an NSX.... I have a local guy (previous S2K owner) who has a 92 with 160k miles on it..... 55k = nothing.... but if you can have 45k less for about the same price... go yellow!

Have some mods already planned for this summer:

-Front Lip (will paint satin black)
-CF NSX-R Spoiler
-NSX-R Diffuser (will paint satin black)
-Iforged Aero's (hypergunmetal)
-Adjustable coilovers

Next year will be interior mods/performance mods

The car is about 700 miles away, so hopefully the seller resolves the title situation so I can get her SOON. Here is a teaser, this is one of the pics that was sent to me:

Yes, orange leather. I actually had orange leather on my Z for a couple of years as well. I actually might change out the seats for some black recaros and change the carpet to black (if I get bored).... we'll see....

You lucky bastage. Is it me though or does that nsx need a detail? Doesn't shine like the rest of the Imolas in this thread. That's just me being nitpicky though. Congrats!

It's definitely going to get clayed, waxed, polished, etc. once it gets here.. but the lighting and P&S camera probably impact the pic.

^ I'm a little nervous because the guy hasnt received the title yet and when I asked about removing the ad, he says "I'll take the ad out of the paper once the transaction is complete." I will be livid if he backs out of the deal. I know he wanted more money for the car then what we agreed on, so it would totally suck if someone came out of the woodwork & offered him more.
