Don't worry about me, Im doing just fine with my investments.. Just saying, its a rare find and someone will gladly pay 40k for this car and keep in the garage. Its your last chance to ever buy one new at a dealership. I agree 40k wouldn't make sense to have it set for 10 years, But hey. That 01 nsx with under 1000 miles just sold for 120k so who knows...
You cant argue that these cars are following the nsx trend on small scale. They are bringing strong money and climbing. here is a video I took this morning of an 06 with 16k selling at the dealer auction. Went for 24600 so they must think they are going to get near 30 for it. Not far off from when it was new...

Wow that's quite the sight. I wonder where they got it from? Is this original Hillside Honda dealer inventory from 2009? Interested in simply taking a look at this car since it's so close to where I am in NY, but I'm sure the dealer wouldn't be too happy about my tire kicking.

I wonder if it was ever put on the lot, or just kept it in the back hiding from general public...

But, how cool would it be to walk into a Honda dealership today and buy a brand new S..

I would also disagree about this being a "good" investment. There would still be upkeep costs to make sure it stays fresh, one's time doing so and inflation.

BTW there is still a brand new unregistered 2005 NSX in the Marin Acura showroom. With a "Not For Sale" sign on it though

I see nothing too special about this one... Maybe if it were one of the last of its year? It's 047 though
