Red Pearl on Car Sensor

[Rob_Fenn]

Interesting colour...

Not sure the 'racey' look gunmental wheels goes with the rather distinguished colour combination. Red stitching on the dash is a nice touch!

Few facelifts on Car Sensor at the moment, going for about the same amount as the NA1 NSX-Rs (c.£70k).

Circuit blue one looks special ... and would be a one off in the UK AFAIK ... just needs a little tlc

I thought there is a late registered 54 or 05 reg in the UK similar to that
red/pinkish colour that was at Japfest 3/4 years ago?

The red one has been for sale at that price for over 2 years - maybe even 3.

The blue one is in fact Monte Carlo blue (http://vogue-sports.com/detail.html?sid=3392), not Circuit blue. It is a one-off (manual) 02+ in that colour - there is an auto too, which was a standard (in Japan) colour on pop-up NA2's for a couple of years.

There is also a 2005 LBBP 02+ NA2 at Masuda Full House Auto (http://www.wintel.co.jp/wintel/owa/pspe_stock_detail1?in_categorize=0&in_group_id=&in_shopno=553-4&in_carno=920&in_mode=stocklist&in_designno=&in_cssno=&in_shop_disp=1&in_ref_page=&in_winopen=NEW&in_spc_disp=0&in_sns=1) for a (slightly) less eye-watering amount.

Newly advertised this week is a 2005 white (with orange seat inserts) facelift type S (http://www.carsensor.net/usedcar/detail/CU2380900518/index.html?TRCD=200002). There has been a similar 2002 type S (with black seats) (http://www.carsensor.net/usedcar/detail/CU2157752721/index.html?TRCD=200002) advertised for a few months.

Also seems like the Route KS NSX-Rs have moved from having a price (c£200k equivalent) to POA?

[NZNick]

My guess is that they need to actually sell some cars - they have several similar spec. & age cars at the moment - things seem to have been hanging around for months, years in some cases, and that advertised prices are putting people off. I do wonder how much of a saving can actually be made on the advertised price of a decent NSX in Japan....

Maybe your time has come to make that elusive purchase ;o)

Red one now sold, so market is moving a bit.

[Rob_Fenn]

There's what looks like a competitively priced Type S for sale in white on Car Sensor. Low mileage and £73k before fees. To think a step up to the Type R is more than double!
http://www.carsensor.net/usedcar/detail/CU2380900518/index.html?TRCD=200002

So would people rather this or the Final 12 car that sold at auction for similar money?

Only caveat is being a 2005 car, i'm not sure whether you can import?

Confirms what I have always said about red being fastest

[Hagasan]

I think "moving a bit" is another way of saying slow(ly)

Its not priced but think this is classier than the one you've listed IMO. To answer you question, I would go for this over the last 12 everytime ... rgds Paul

A black 2003 NA2 has appeared on Carsensor - at Vogue Sports (but not yet on VogueSports site):

http://www.carsensor.net/usedcar/detail/CU2471221810/index.html?TRCD=200002

29k kms / 18k miles - black/black/black. 58k GBP + shipping, taxes, GST etc. at today's rate.

[TheSebringOne]

Are prices softening a bit in Japan or is that the going rate?

I've always love black NSXs and this one looks a stunner & stealthy too.

[NZNick]

It seems that a decent, low-mileage facelift manual will cost upwards of 10 million Yen (58k GBP), more for a type T (11.5 / 67k GBP), and more still for a type S (12.5+ / 73k GBP+). Facelift type R are advertised at 19-26 Million Yen, 111-151k GBP at today's rates.

The exchange rate is a big factor - it is around the 170 mark right now, having been down to 114 in 2011 - mostly it has been around 130 over the past 5 years. In 2007 it was over 200, usually around 225, at one point 263 !!! Hindsight eh?
