Yes what lil_oldschool said nsxprime.com. Its nice to buy from a car enthusiast like most of us on this board. You will feel more comfortable about buying from someone off the forum then a dealer, I know I would! Just make sure you dont buy something because the price is too good too pass up. With a car like the NSX you will be better off buying a more pricey low mileage one with all the maintenance done, then say a high mileage that needs some TLC. Because in the end you will spend about the same I think. What year you looking for?

bullet proof car. There is really nothing you need to worry about other then making sure the car has had it's routine maintenance done such as timing belt. Also, if you look at a 91-92, try to avoid cars in the "snap ring" range, or make sure that fix was done. I would suggest going on NSXprime and just looking at their wiki and searching on specific topics. I guarantee any question you will have has been covered a million times, and then some.

Diddy - don't wanna see you lose the CL because we need you help rep the old school! lol

But I know you'd hook up a mean NSX!

I've cruised around there (NSXPrime) with hungry eyes wishing I was having a better year @ work to get one.

Who knows...maybe this year will be good and I'll join you!

if youre one of those people who want to find an older cheap nsx in the sub $20k region, you better hope nothing breaks because it will bite you in the ass.

my only advice, spend the money right the first time... piecing together an nsx is nothing compared to piecing together a civic... price wise

CL > NSX > CL is a full circle thought process.
CL + NSX = everyday transportation and weekend fun IMO.

Keep in touch w me if you find and pass -
I am game for 2nd option above.

I would say start at the forums(do research on what to look for) then move to Craigslist. Cars are bullet proof as long as there aren't a lot of deferred maintenance. Just look for one with maintenance records. Even if its over 100k on the clock its still a Honda.
