Default Should I buy a NSX or a Porsche

I can't make up my mind because the NSX is way COOL and is super fast and nothing can touch it class wise. I'm searching for a nsx for less than $25k and can't find a clean one. The 1992 technology is way better than any 993 and as good as a 996 if not better. My other choice is a M3 because my brother has has one and he is smarter than I am. Please help me decide if I should buy porsche or the more superior nsx. Cheers.

Sort of sounds like you already made up your mind....

I considered the same sort of thing, but the NSX will always be a Honda. Even if it is a cool Honda

My brother has an NSX and I prefer my porsche 10 times over. I had work done and borrowed his Acura for a week and was like "WHERE IS MY CAR?". It has a cool spaceship on the road factor that is undeniable.

good luck on the $25k.
I sold my 1995 NSX-T for almost $40k just two years ago.
In the five years i owned it is depreciated by $2k per year (bought for $50k)
early ones have the snap ring issues... but i guess you know that if you are looking already

i think for $25K..... you won't get a very nice NSX.......... you'll have to move it up to about $40k for a decent one.....

I agree with the cool Honda comment.

At some point you want to outgrow "the crowd".

thanks,

You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time and that's usually enough to make everyone look stupid.

Was this thread started on April 1?

"Should I buy a Honda CRX or a Porsche? I figure they're the same because they're both small and have that sloping back window. Should I really pay more for a Porsche? I mean who cares if the spoiler moves, the CRX has a perfectly good solid one at the back. My High School teacher who is the smartest person I know drives a CRX so it must be the best car. Plus Heidi next door's uncle used to drive one and he was WAY COOL. I mean a Porsche isn't really any faster is it?"

I suppose I didn't get the "joke".

I just thought he was some dumb@ss that really felt there was a comparison to be made.
