Good man!

Difficult cars to buy at the best of times due to the numbers sold, and decent ones left.

This is made even worse at the moment by the weakness of sterling - good cars are being snapped up at full asking price & being shipped to Hong Kong and Japan.

But they do come up for sale on a regular basis (i.e a good 'un every 4 weeks or so) so just be patient, keep an eye on the usual places (Pistonheads, Autotrader, NSXCB) and be prepared to travel to view a car at a moments notice.

Good luck....lots of friendly advice over on NSXCB.

In many, many cases because they had a pretty badge and their chums knew what a Porsche was, and thought they knew what a Honda was.

T'was ever so.

Thanks Mike!

Ian's right - NSXCB is a great place for help and advice.

The only problem is that most of the remaining cars are in the hands of confirmed Honda nuts and unless they're forced to, they won't relinquish them easily. The forthcoming recession may change that a bit, of course.

If you can live with a 3.0 (actually not a huge comedown from a 3.2, they're just a bit less refined & more 'feely') then you can get a lot of car for your money. I've practically abandoned the idea of a facelift for the present - market's gone too insane. Except the pampered 3.0 ones also go very quickly of course...

I look at one in Inchcape Honda Romford every time I go in there, It apparently belongs to the dealership Is Red with 40k on the clock and is never driven, apart from a service and MOT annually

I always think mmmmmmmmmmmm nice if only

This one belongs to a bloke that goes to my gym, still looks but very dated IMO, probably because it is an early one, the later ones look so much fresher!!

I think an early one with later wheels and a very subtle body kit (skirts and the R spoiler) can freshen it up a lot.

It's the interior i'm not keen on. But again, it's all tweakable I guess!

Would still love a go in one.

I sometimes feel like crying when I think back to the time I sold mine.

Why the f*** did I do it









and this thread is making it worse

Chris.
