How many people actually have one of these cars. I have only seen one in my life. I guess the price acura/honda has on the car sets it apart from the rest. Maybe its insurance reasons or the one i always here is its looks. I agree this car has great looks.

The fact that you see so many Prosches on the road means that there are a lot more people in the world willing to dish out for a Porsche than a NSX. I think my car is number 77 from 1998. I dont remember how any they built but not too many. I'm not into American muscle, or at least was not into it in 97 when I bought the NSX. So my options were more limited: BMW M5, Porsche 911. I'm looking for the uncommon so I was drawn to the NSX. For lots of people who like the NSX they would say its the car that does nothing the best but does absolutely nothing wrong. Usually people want a car with an extreme. Like the fastest or the quickest or the best handling. The NSX is an all around consitent performer. Master of nothing. A funny reason to buy a car. But thats what I like about it. Still, i'm in the minority. But thats also what I like.

well yet another post for my 2 cents..
umm.. well yeah i agree it's got a high price tag.. but then again anything does to a colleg student.. lol anyway ... even i know people don't buy cars cause they go faster.. if they did then everyone would own a mclauren.. but it ain't like that .. you buy an nsx to have an nsx.. just like the s2k.. uumm... and to answer your comment way back .. yes there are millions of rich dudes who buy them just for the hell of it.. lol..

The NSX is NOT too expensive. If it was, then the price would have a margin within it on pointless things. With the current price, Honda/Acura do not make a profit, so the price is not expensive (and like I said, the cost is not covered). But if Acura/Honda do not make a profit, then why sell the NSX? Especially when people prefer Porsche and Ferrari.
However, the problem is that there is no bang for your buck. It is this factor, alongside others, that sells so many cars these days. At the moment, there is a comparison between NSX, 911 and 360 - and guess what car is winning (well last time I checked) - well it is easier to say that NSX is losing. And why? Because of performance. When you pay for the price you are paying, you expect performance, especially when for the same price you can get a quicker, and luxurious - a better stock car, which is ten times better than an NSX. Thats what always bothers people, and nothing can make up for this. PS I didn't have the time to structure my argument properly

I fully agree with the creator of this post, i do believe that the NSX is way over priced or at least has gotten over priced reciently. I have heard people saying that the expensiveness is from it's rarity. I somewhat agree with that. But when you are going to say you are paying for about 70% for rarity and only about 30% for any extravagant performance, i think that is just feeding Acura excuses. And if rarity is that much of an issue on the NSX a car that gets so much hype, this price tag for rarity should only be risen when production of this car has ceased. It is unfair to say we are raising the price of the car since they are rare, EVEN though, we are still producing them. I think alot of the NSX is looks. And of course it could prob beat a supra stock, i would expect a 80thousand dollar car to beat one around 50k. Rarity should not be the main factor in determining price. Performance should be. Everyone has their preferences, as a matter of fact, i love the looks of this car myself. But the truth is, when the s2000 has a better power to rate ratio and only 50 less hp which will soon be only 30 less when the power gets a 260 bump on only a 4 cylinder! People should expect more from this car. Another thing, you know the new Nissan 350z HAS ONLY 3 LESS horsepower STOCK (V6)!!! than the NSX and with a bit better gas mileage. Obviously little heavier but no kidding, it's 52,000 dollars less. This is just my take, i respect anyone who loves and enjoys this car and encourage them to continue doing so. but that is just my take on the NSX and it's value.

As of right now, most invoice prices on NSXs are between 70k and 80k. They depreciate like crazy tho. You can find one with 60k miles on ebay for less than 40k. For that price I would go with the M5 since its incredibly rare.

seriously dude.....
NSX is not crap... and what u said is bull-shit about how if u "mod" other cars u can beat a "Stock" NSX.... well that is a crock of shit! if u want to compare two cars... then compare them while they are stock cars... not with "mods".... Also, look at JGTC for example.... there is the ARTA NSX that is "god"... how come i dun see any ITR or civic in JGTC?? there is a fuckin reason!!
