Hi,

Are you set on JDM spec? If yes it might be long wait. There a few cars that may be coming to market later in the year, so if you have preferences it might be worht adding the details here, ie 3.0 or 3.2, pop up or facelift. It might also pay to post in the wanted section too with the details as someone may have what you want but has not advertised.

Good Luck

Paul

I'm curious,why JDM? unlike most other makes an imported NSX wont be any cheaper if it's a good un.At least with a UK car you can trace it's history.

Best Regards,

Ivor.

I was looking for 2 years.At any one time there never seems to be more than 6 or 7 for sale and you can usually ignore 3 of them.

This looks quite good money I think, rare enough color, manual and targa, updated stereo and some type of carbon or carbon look trim.

If this is straight I'd rusha nd buy it if I were you. Looks a good clean car at a great price and it's always nice to flip the lid.

Stereo added bonus as it's a PITA so update!

Not seen this one on OEM rims for a while. It was for sale when I was first looking (trade seller) but the over sized rims put me off. If you hunt around there are threads on this car, the plate is the key.

Once cleaned this is a great color and I might just be slightly biased towards the T-Top

Hi Kenny & welcome..

Good luck with your hunt...

I have a 95 Sebring Silver Targa down here in Wexford, so we can meet up whenever your eagle has landed...

That car seems really good value and if straight, then a bargain for someone as its a manual & targa & they don't appear too often.

ill hold you too thaat

im off to the us for 3 weeks so when i get home the hunt is back on

the vechicle registration tax on me importing a very clean nsx is 8,500 euro on top of the value of the car say 18-20k plus id need to pay road tax 1300 per year and nct and insure as im only 22 insurance is expensive,,
with all this in mind ill need to be 100% happy with the car i choose so ive decided to take my time and not too rush into buying a nsx and i think it will need to be a JDM model
