this car is 8-10K more than what it is worth! someone is gonna get you real bad and you will never forget about it in your entire life when you are trying to sell this piece of shit in few years by then it will be a 15 year old car for 30-35K max if not lower, and there you are with 20K loss

I love the NSX. Having said that, I never understood why they command the premium that they do especially for early NA2s. A lot of early NA2s are still selling for well over $35K for a 15 year old car seems a little bit ridiculous. NSXs are exotic in their own right but is no where near Porsche GT2/GT3 (pedigree) status to command this sort of hold on the value. For $55K, you can pick up a nice 996 GT3 which is a whole lot more car than the NSX performance wise. Just my 0.02.

damn...with a car like that, you really can't drive it that much. It becomes a trophy at this point if you want to keep it in mint condition and retain its value. That 7887 mile NSX is amazing!

My opinion catches a lot of criticism, but NSX's are just too old to command the price they currently do.

I have a close friend who collects vintage race cars. These cars were produced BEFORE the Ford Model T which dates them to roughly 1900-1903 era I think (sorry I'm not a vintage car expert) but these cars MSRP was around $5000 back then! So pretty much these cars for the elite class in the 1900's. I have no clue what they are worth today but he ships 2 of them per year (he's got over 30 of them) to the Concorso. If I use the same comparative thinking you use in comparing the NSX to a GT3, then I would be stupid to have paid $80k+ for my NSX I actually sold my 08 GT3 to buy the NSX and pocket some money.

Rick, I don't think anyone can justify how much you would spend on a car. Sometimes the emotions of it all, gets the best of you. For example, Steve McQueens original GT40 just sold for $11 million.

Of course, everyone's threshold on how much they would spend on what is considered "an exotic car" is different. I understand the following that the NSX has and it is a great car. However, in my opinion, I am not sure if the NSX is exotic enough to command the market that it does. You paid what you paid for the NSX and that's cool. If I was to drop $80K tomorrow, I would look for a nice 1954 Jaguar XK120 drophead, 1968 MB 280SL, or a 1956 Porsche Speedster. I am into real vintage cars so those are worth it to me but you may not think the same. Different strokes for different folks.

Vintage cars are a totally different ball game and the NSX is definitely NOT in that categroy. I remember reading on the news that some guy crashed this one-off Ferrari worth like 33 million dollars! Of course he can afford it so no big deal but damn that is a lot of money!
Oh my friend's car collection is vintage Toledo's ~ I know NOTHING about them except they look super cool and I'm sure expensive. He had them throughout his house displayed like a museum. Absolutely breathtaking and crazy at the same time!
I'm looking at GTR's right now for example and it's really the best choice for me since it has 2 back seats but everytime I get serious about one, I think "$100k for a Nissan" and I go back to wanting to pay just a bit more for a R8 v10 Sypyder Of course that car would just sit like my other cars since I can't fit any baby seats in there

How is the NSX a unique exotic car again? Not here to hate or anything, just would like to hear your own reason. From NSXPrime, I have gathered numerous reasons: "The engine is in the middle = Exotic" .. "The car is made out of exotic materials" .. and "It looks like a Ferrari." Needless to say, I was not getting many good reasons from them.
I agree with shehatezme, though. The car is worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. It's just shocking how much these cars are priced at and also the lengths owners will go to defend the price they paid.
The GT-R commands the premium because it's a new(er) car and it's actually a bargain for a car that competes with more expensive cars. The NSX is a great driver's car (one of the best), but I probably need to spend more seat time in one.
