Nice car on market

[gturner008]

I just noticed a lovely 3.2 at ClassicHeroes, a dealer in Sussex. 9k miles, manual. £85k seems pretty reasonable to me. I'd buy if I had garage space...

This is car or a new 911 (basic car - that will depreciate to £40k in three years)?

No brainer...

Saw it on pistonheads last night - quite a price....

[marknsx]

So the value is in the low mileage? Or is it? Surely this car won't drive well with such low use

[andystevo]

Surely the same car which Plans sold last year, presumably for £50K? Still on their website.

I just don't get the "low mileage" thing:-
- You pay more for the car, yet the more you drive it, the more you stand to lose in depreciation;
- While some components will feel more 'factory fresh', others will need just as much refurb/maintenance (age related), and possibly more (because they've not been used regularly).
- "Originality" (bodywork, less risk of prangs/resprays/etc.) only matters to the top-end investment community. With respect, only a small handful of NSXs even stand a chance of reaching that rarefied atmosphere.

Anyway, I'm not going to grumble about prices going up...just saddened in a way that the "investment" fraternity are getting their hands on too many proper drivers' cars.
(Like the mint 964 RS I saw at Prescott...owner bought at the right time and is now starting to wonder if he can afford to keep hill-climbing it because of the insurance...which surely is the sort of thing it was built for in the first place!)

I agree with you Martin - I deliberately avoided ultra-low mileage cars when buying mine, for both reasons of cost and potential under-use related maintenance issues. There is always a sweet-spot of age, mileage and condition, which tends to be a personal thing.

Yep, 'tis the same car as Plans sold, but with a huge asking price adjustment.....

how far will prices go before they become unrealistic?
i see plans have a red nsx with 189k miles is it and as it's a honda engine, what is the mileage they'll run to before a rebuild etc?

wow, that's really great news they are going strong and the owners have looked after them.
so how much would they be worth with those miles?

the £25k one plans have seems reasonable if these guys are getting 100k more than it.

In this thread last year there is an NSX in Austria which at the time had done 518,000km, now that's going it some!

4 out of 5 cars in Switzerland are already in those dealers hands. But none of them are ever sold, at least not at their asking price. Good for private sellers in the second row with a realistic price. The dealers will burn their fingers sooner or later...

I don't recall the car being advertised by Plans last year at 50k , I must have missed it or it sold extremely quickly.

It's listed here on their Showroom of for sale and previously sold cars - http://www.plansperformance.com/showroom/cars/ - quite the document of recent NSX sales history - also http://www.nsxuk.com/sold/
