91 nsx or..... your exisiting s2000?
Guys recently i found a 91 nsx which seems like a pretty good deal.
Its got 39k on the clock and they're asking 29k for it.
I am getting very tempted to go look at it. The question is, is it a wise decision? I'm more then happy with my car, but the thought of an NSX... i cant get it out of my mind.
All your input would be much appreciated.

I'd keep my S2000 over a 91 NSX. Despite being a Honda, there are maintenance issues with all 13 year old cars. In addition, I've had my S2000 from new, and know how it has been treated since day one. Again, that can't be said with the used NSX. Finally, having driven an older NSX myself, I'm hard pressed to find much of a performance differential between the two cars. This is merely a subjective observation and open to debate. Unless I could afford a brand new one, I think I'd settle for my S

If this were my fourth car in a four car garage, then I'd choose a 91 NSX over a '04 S2000. If it were anything but that, however, I'd get the S2000 every time.
I think a lot of people look at the NSX as a chance to squeeze an exotic into their budget. The problem is that nobody should be squeezing this kind of car into a budget. If you can't afford a brand new $90k NSX then you probably should think twice about the thirteen year old $30k version. Only get the NSX if you have the money to deal with worst-case scenarios: blown engines, major accidents that were your fault, etc. If you can't get a NSX and have $20k in cash, disposable, sitting around afterwards, then it's a bad move.

A 13 year old car with no warranty that struggles to run 13's and chews through tires ....
Much like the boxster is to the 911, the only folks who buy the older pre 3.2 liter NSX's are folks who need lots of attention and can't afford the later and faster version.
