He didnt buy another car. Just wanted to sell it. We are gonna auction it off to smaller dealers. It ran good. Just had damage to one rim but overall good condition.

i never understood how people could sell nsx's so cheap
they can't go online for 30 seconds to find out its worth way more than that...?
congrats on the purchase, how much do you figure it will sell for at auction?

definately could use a little love.
They still look so modern, maybe not so much in pictures, but when it pulls up next to you your head will definately turn and your jaw will drop

They are not fast at all though. I was definitely disappointed. A corvette would spank it both in handling and straight line performance.

^ The NSX is a pretty old design .. but compare it to a 1996 Corvette .. would it win?

Straightline performance, sure. Handling-wise, I doubt it; the car was well known for its handling capabilities & why it got Ferrari to turn itself around.

Straight line, slight edge to the Vette. 200lb. more but also more power. Not sure but Vette's probably had multiple final drive ratio's available too from the factory, so that and gearing plays into it.

Maybe i've just been around/looked at a lot of NSX's, but something seems off with that NSX (more than the paint). How's that carfax look like?
While the NSX has awesome turn in and has great balance/feel on turns, the base vette w/ Z51 package will take turns just as fast/faster (even an -R). The C6 just surprises you with its grip at speed. It's just a harder car to drive and has less connection/steering feel than the NSX. The vette needs more driver skills and practice time around a track, but will certainly be faster.

I'm going to guess that a 1996 with 100k miles on it is not going to be $50k, even in Miami. You just linked to a car with 11k miles on it. How is that even relevant? You might as well have linked to a picture of a moose.

Ill trade you a rusted cutlass and a CL for it then?Ill throw in an extra set of BBS RCs. If the title is clean, the car is still valuable even with the mileage.
