Don't do it man. I was tempted right before buying my S. I saw a few for similar prices.

Insurance too high, I wouldn't be able to use it as a DD, I would worry too much about someone touching it, maintenance costs, etc.

If you got the capital, get your dream car. Most people don't have the garage, a DD, or the $.

Which one are you?

Prices for NSXs are all over the place. I just like how this one is all original and compared to other cars it is decent. Mind you, in the Kijiji ad he asks $35k and auto trader only $30k. Weird.

I do like the interior colour combo with the red, I prefer the newer front ends with the fixed headlights though, I don't like the rims on that model but you could always change them.

If I were going to get an nsx it would be a 3.2L / 6 speed.

So yea get another s!

^ x2 NA2 is the way to go if you're going to get one. Otherwise it's just for looks at that point.

Some things to consider besides its looks.

91, over 20 years old (wear / tear).
that year has potential to be in snap ring issue range
outdated interior
no power steering in that year
$1000 ish water pump and timing belt install around every 5 years
and the big one.... 5 speed
Premium cost for mods, repairs and ownership

Go big or go home, get a NA2 02+ if your going to get a NSX

P.S. 02+ conversion roughly 5k to do
