www.nsxprime.com is a good site to check out if you're considering an NSX. As for your car's value it's definitely worth more than 27k if you were to sell it outright. You might want to even consider parting some of the aftermarket goodies out since they don't add vaue to the car for a dealer.

In Ontario we get a tax savings for a trade in, if you are buying a $30'000 car but trade in a $20'000 car you only pay the taxes on the $10'000. Might be worth asking around about.

Exactly! So, he is STILL on first?

Same tax savings in NJ.

You are saving the sales tax on the $27k that the dealer is taking off the purchase price of the NSX. So, if the NSX is $40k, then you would be paying sales tax on $13k rather than the entire $40k. If sales tax is 10%, that is $2.7k so the price you got for your 993 would be $29.7k

OMG that is CRAZY cheap!!!!

To answer the original question, I say that his car is worth $31-$34k on the private party sale market. May take a while to sell. And that price assumes a strong PPI and good condition.

The sales tax savings is a consideration, and so is the hassle-free factor. The hassle of private party selling is worth something as most of us hate it. Especially if you have to go to ebay or autotrader to sell.

You would love Washington- we are at 8.8% in most areas...

I understand that there is an issue with chronic premature front tire wear on the NSX

ceboyd

lol... just like my 993 rear insides edge wear -- although mine is due to driving to/from the track with my -3 camber in back

Acura NSX or Porsche 993?......Acura NSX or Porsche 993? For the life of me I cannot see how you could choose the NSX over a 993 but to each his own.

Well the NSX deal didn't work out and the funny part of it is... I'm almost glad! Maybe I wasn't really ready to leave the fold. There is truly something addictive about these cars. Must be the oil fumes!

Good move Keith, you would have lost interest in the NSX within a week.

I have a video with the engineers at Porsche testing the NSX as the potent rival when it first came out
and I remember them saying that they didn't quite understand the body design or the layout of the NSX.
I looked at the NSX and I was turned off by how fragile it seemed to be.

I test drove and NSX, at a Porsche dealer! :-)) was going to trade my car in on it.
had 18k on the clock, I guess someone traded it in.
It drove well and handled nicely, but I just couldn't deal with the honda accord kind of thing.
Its OK for some people, bet you it's ultra reliable ! :-))
