Okay, today seems to be a pretty good day! Shortly after I located this vehicle I spoke to Skip by phone. He is working this Saturday, but may be able to check out this vehicle on my behalf.
As well, the owner has already replied back to me by Private Message answering my questions!
Out of all of the people on NSXPrime that I have contacted, he is the first to reply back so quickly.
1) He has given me the transmission number and greatly enough, it is not in the snap ring range : CHECK!
2) The Climate Control and A/C blow cold and strong : CHECK!
3) He does not have the stock wheels, however he can get me a set as opposed to the AZA's : CHECK!
4) He believes the 90k mile service is done, however if not he will have it done : CHECK!
I asked him to please verify that he can get me a set of stock wheels, preferably 94-01', however any OEM NSX Wheel will do. As well, to verify if the 90k mile service is done.
If so, Chad may have a new car in a couple of days

Good luck with everything Chad.
Don't know if this matters to you or not, but with '91 and '92 years, there is also problems with power windows and the speaker amps. Another big thing would be the timing belt, water pump, etc.
When I was looking for mine it had to be completely perfect.
Not in snap ring range, power window regulators needed to be replaced, water pump, timing belt, had to be done recently etc.
There was a white '92 in Alaska that was in snap ring range I was going to buy. Everything was perfect, but the seller didn't want to lower the price due to snap ring range. It had 15k original miles. But he didn't lower the price and i kept my S2000. I never found another NSX like it.

Cargee - I've done plenty of research on the snap ring. Already contacted this seller, the transmission number is not in the range! 
As well, the 91 & 92's did have a problem with climate control... A/C basically going soft. That apparently is not an issue with this particular vehicle.
The power window problem was as simple as a clip breaking. After a bit of searching and talking around I have been informed it is a very simple fix. As the part is only $20, I'll probably go ahead and replace those right off the bat, just incase.
The owner has not stated anything on the speaker amps, however he did mention the driver side speaker is not too great. That's next in line for my questions ... he said he was going to have an estimate done by his local best buy to fix it. I'm hoping it's a blown speaker and not amp problems.

Just received a message from the owner in Fredricksburg. He believes that the vehicle recently had the water pump & timing belt replaced. Said that he has receipts showing this!!!!
He gave me his number and asked me to call him tonight. The down part, I have terrible cell phone connection at my house. I've asked if he has instant messanger or if I can call him tomorrow.
As long as the vehicle passes my inspection... and he can get rid of those crap AZA Wheels, I might have a new car this weekend
Wonder what I can talk him down to....

Okay, I was able to get a decent reception so I called the guy. He said he's had about 15 calls on the car so far (not sure how many truthfully) and he is trying to make it go away. Said he loves cars and is always changing, now he wants a Viper.
He was at the gym, so he said he'd call me back in about 5 minutes. He did wonder how serious I was... told him as long as I get approved for the loan and it checks out, very.
Just need to verify he can get back to stock OEM Wheels & see if we can discuss the driver side speaker being bad. Might see if I can get him to do $31,000 - with OEM Wheels.
