At last my NSX

[Steve]

Hi I new to the NXSOC have to say great site, informative and interesting. I never knew there were so many people interested in this great car.

Anyway just bought the car of my dreams....a late 95 Yellow 3.0 T manual. Wanted this car for around 10 years, been searching properly for approx 2 years. As I am not really mechanically minded, I needed to find one that was in VGC that needed little work for around 20K.
Can you believe, I came out of work last week to go to the post office, came to the T junction and there it was, going past, my yellow NSX, so I quickly decided to follow said car, 2 miles later it came to a halt outside a paint shop and a Guy got out who is 73 years old!!!

Had a chat and found that he lives 1.5 miles from me!!! He was looking at selling due to poor health, had the car 5 years, been treated with tender care, no wet weather etc... Has all Honda service history from day 1, done 56,000, new clutch fitted 2000mls ago, Clean as a whistle, just had its 56,000 service with no problems.
We agreed a price of £24000 including Reg N30 NSX on Satuday morning.
I probably paid top money, but I reckoned I could have spent upto £1000 trying to find one. I had gone around £3000 over my budget, but I could just manage it.
Saturday night I won £3003 on the lottery (5 numbers)
I am collecting the car Friday so watch this space........

The moral is I suppose, you never know whats round the corner!!!

congrats pal. Car looks great, reminds me of how good yellow can look. mines been banished from use till this bloody rain stops!

Price wasnt far off imo..i paid 21k for a 96 car with 82k miles on it so horses for courses. where about are u from?

[NSXGB]

Good story. Well done on your purchase. If it's a true 1 owner minter, I don't think you paid too much over the top....especially if you won £3k on the lotto....beers are on you then!

HI Steve,

Welcome to NSXCB and what a way to introduce yourself!

Good looking NSX, I remember finding mine only a few miles from home too. Nice complementary plate and good choice of exhaust tips too ;)

Re the price, if you're happy then its the right price for the car. With our cars there is a lot of value in the history / condition / market availability.

Really liking the Yellow everytime I see one!

regards, Paul

PS, what times dinner? :beer:

[Steve]

Guys
Thanks for all your positive comments. I always liked the Yellow.
How often do you guys meet up and where?

[ctrlaltdelboy]

welcome to the club, I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay.

Great car and nice story.

Cheers,

Hi Steve,

I'm not a million miles away from you in Bromsgrove, and am on my way up to Derby once or twice a month! I'm sure we can have a mini-meet at some point if you fancy it?!

Great looking car - be prepared to get a crick in you neck looking back when parking up and walking away....:D

Cheers, Matt.

[dan the man]

look like my wheels.

16 and 17 but refinsihed

[Silver Surfer]

Great story and purchase. Shiny wheels and shiny brakes!!!

Do like the Quad pipes and the 3rd brake light. :yes:

[nsx_vtec]

nice car!

looks like a minter!!!!

[TheSebringOne]

Congratulations on your new purchase & welcome to the club! :)
The car looks gorgeous, a credit to its previous owner has lavished real TLC on it with its immaculate body work, gold painted callipers & the alloys, which are dark chrome? what make are they? :thumbsup:
Another X near the NorthWest, I concur with Dan, maybe a mini meet when you get used to your new baby? Dan, don't go thinking its a meet for yellow Xs only! ;)
Price wised, considering its had a new clutch recently, low mileage for year, just serviced and with FHSH, then its about right. :yes:

[NSXGB]

The wheels look like Blades in gunmetal with a polished lip....

[dan the man]

hmm 3rd brake light, how does that work? any close up pics?
is it bolted on?

[Steveycaz]

Welcome Steve. Good price I reckon as that's a cracking looking car. I think you have used up all your good luck for some time - so drive safe ;)!

BTW, Nice tips :D - are they DTM style?

They look like the ones on Paul's car.

[Rob_Fenn]

Congratulations! Interesting read too, hope the car lives up to your expectations.

Well done on the serendipity front...what a beautiful car.

The money you paid is spot on - anything is worth what somebody will pay, and I reckon yours fits the bill pretty well!

Another one for JapaneseFest 08.

Could have done with a lotto win this week...but then I'd have to buy a ticket :rolleyes:

Collecting car in the morning so will not sleep to well tonight!!! will answer all questions soon.

[Nick Graves]

Good things do have an odd habit of falling out the sky like that - great story in any case!

You will sleep badly; I did the night before I picked up the S2000 from Brussels. But that was not helped by too much seafood.

'Til tomato, then!

[Clive]

Nice car. Can't really see from the photos, but is there a secondary light under the third brake light. And what are the exhausts?

[TheSebringOne]

The quad zorst look very similar to Pauls (Senninha). They are slashed at 45 degrees and are a cat back system, they look great looking in real life, fancy some myself if I go non oem! Apparently they sound better, breathe easier & releases some ponies! Paul I hope you don't mind me mentioning your pipes!;)
