Help choice between ...used NSX or New s2000
I can't believe how few people here advocate the s2000 over the nsx?! Although sometimes I wonder what if... here were my reasons I chose the s2k last year over a used nsx...
-nsx is not competitive in scca solo II autox (gets KILLED in AS).
-s2k is the nat'l winner in scca solo II autox BS
-nsx looks dated both outside and inside.
-s2k interior is form fitting, the display is attn grabbing, and i love the long hood.
-i don't have the money to fix anything on the nsx, which btw as stated above is mad expensive
-i have a warranty on my s2k
-nsx is a coupe. (the convertible costs more $$, and is not as stiff)
-s2k is a convertible from the ground up.
-the s2k is definitely not as pimp as the nsx, but w/ my mugen setup, i feel like big pimpin anyway. happy vtec!

If you intend on putting more than 15-20K per year on the car then I'd say go for the s2k. I guess it really depends on what you intend to use the car for.....I was in the same situation as you but after thinking about the number of miles I put on in a year (my s2k is my daily driver) the s2k was the logical choice.

We as humans only live once.....
Why not live it up....
The choice is now 95-98 NSX.. $$30k-45k and under 50,000 miles. Color is not a factor nor are modifications.
I am not a car collector so I will be driving it at least 10k per year.
I will be investing in the Manual..
If I am not mistaken the auto is the 3.0 260 hp and the manual is the 3.2 290hp. Or is there a certain year that the 3.2 came out??(95?? 97???)
I now know how the S makes a person feel. I can only imagine how the NSX will change my outlook, goals, and over all feeling.
The only bad part is the fact that I have to test drive these slow ugly boats.
Thanks everyone..

I like the 93-94 NSX. These cars are out of the snap ring problem range, and a pretty decent specimen can be had for about $35k. I actually prefer the coupe body style and the non power assisted steering. Although these early cars have the smaller engine, I feel they are closer to the pure sports car ideal - stiffer (compared to NSX-T), a little lighter, better steering feedback.
You need to ask yourself how much your going to drive the cars. If you are going to use it for a daily commuter then get the S2000 as everything will be under warranty. If you are getting it for a weekend driver then you should consider the NSX. The NSX is faster and handles better. But buyer beware...parts for the NSX are expensive and more then likely you won't be under warranty. I have both cars and I love Driving the S2000 everyday but you really get a great feeling when I drive my NSX.
