yeah it the one we've looked at
(poss needing a new steering rack)or track rod end!
difficult to tell without a ramp

I asked the local honda garage who's serviced it and they wouldnt comment!!!
"ask the seller" they said.:(

It looks like one that was for sale in the midlands privately about a month ago - I was thinking about going to see it, then it disappeared off A-T.

If it's linked, someone with a yellow NSX went to see the 'traders' with the silver 52-plate coupe that Dragonlady's just bought, as they told me that a chap with a yellow one wanted to trade-up.

If it's at a dealer now, and DOES need work, then someone may be able to negotiate that into the deal...at the very least, the dealer will have to provide some level of warranty cover, so depends whether something has failed or is just badly worn...

when i last spoke to the owner he said he was putting it up sale or return
the garage has got about £500 in it over his last asking price.
Ive emailed them about the "steering issue" but as yet have'nt had a reply

From what I can gather by the reg, its a 5 previous owner car, and not 1997 but 1996, first reg was the 08/01/1996

Dealer's warranties aren't usually worth the paper they are written on, especially if it is just a run of the mill dealer. At best you will get 3 months if you are lucky.

When we asked the owner about the steering issue flagged on the MOT report he said he couldn't remember what the garage had said to him, and advised that we spoke to the garage, however when we tried to speak to the garage they told us to speak to the owner as he had been told what needed to be done.

Also one more thing maybe worth mentioning is that the car appeared to be going through O2 Sensors. When I looked through the invoices it appeared to have had 2 replaced in about 3 years. From what I can tell on NSX Prime this isn't a good thing.

Please don't get me wrong if someone wants to buy it as a project car then it would probably be worthwhile as the car looked pretty straight. But personally I would get a mechanical inspection done on it before buying, also the bodywork needs some real TLC and possibly a respray as it was very dull and badly scratched.

The paperwork on the car supports this as well.

I have also asked questions of the Dealer but am still awaiting the reply.
Against the general flow of things work has picked up:laugh: so I was hoping to gain as much insight as possible before trying to arrange a visit.

Simon you have PM

Cheers
