I'm not sure I'd go for it either, but then I could afford a straight one.

Homophobe.
I think I'd be more tempted by the red manual on there if (as I think you would) get it for £16K. Can't see him getting £19K for a tired one.

I wouldn't want to modify a straight one.
Good point(s).

Mind you, NSX mods makes one realise how very cheap S2000 ones are! Prices are in an echelon the car never actually achieved in its lifetime.

Whereas I could. I'd have it because it was an NSX. 0-60 in 5.5 seconds and 170 is quick enough for the road.

Yes it's a cat c, but unless you're trying to make money, save yourself some

Apart from lowering it a bit, it'd be fine

This really f@#ks me off. In most cases its because the seller wants to get the enquiries, then let the potential buyer know, which 90% of the time results in the phone being hung up.

Hopefully it's not the case of deceit though...

I think you'll find it's a Honda. Or an Acura.

I wouldn't pay £25k for an ex cat C.
Would rather have an earlier straight car.

he may be trying to get the most he'll ever get for the car

the classic and 'future classic' market has been overheated for some time now and the bubble may already have burst - we've just not heard the bang yet

I'm still amazed by the price the 55 plate cars are going for, 0% depreciation over 8 years is pretty impressive.
The NSX is a great car and one of the reasons the prices are going up is that late cars are being shipped overseas.

A CAT C car would be of little interest to this O/S market so maybe that's all the UK market will end up having?
Having known what this car has sold for in the past and the amount of damage there was then good luck to the seller.
