Default Sold my S2000 and daily driver to get my dream car

Its been a dream of mine since I was 14 to own an NSX and now its finally come true! I sold my garage queen 2005 S2000 with 17,000 miles and my daily driver 2008 IS250 with 80,000 miles a few months ago since I decided it was the right time to get an NSX. The thing about finding the perfect NSX is when you find the right one you need to jump on it immediately or you'll miss out and it could take another 6-12 months or longer before a similar one pops up. I've heard some people on NSX Prime waited 2 years to find their perfect NSX. I scoured NSX Prime, Ebay, Car.com, Autotrader and Craiglist(checking every state) EVERDAY for about 2 months before finding this gem. Within 15 minutes of it being listed I called up the dealership and snagged it. It's a single owner 1998 Kaiser Silver with only 25,000 miles. This is the EXACT year and color I've been looking for. A HUGE surprise is when I found out it had a dealer installed Comptech supercharger! The car will here sometime next week.

My lightly modded daily diver IS250. Comfortable but boring. You will not be missed.



My garage queen S2000. I treated here too well and she will be missed.

Nice purchase. If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for it?

I, like you, have dreamed of owning one since I was a punk teenager. I came close, twice, but never pulled the trigger.

Congrats my friend. There is nothing like that Honda V6 screaming in your ear from behind when you are on the gas. It still is an outstanding automobile. You'll get lots of attention.

25k miles, looks mint, with dealer installed supercharger. That's just about perfect IMO. So perfect in fact I'd be tempted to leave it inside and let it be a garage queen.
