Default Another NSX thread

Hey guys for those that made the transition i have a few questions.

I found a great deal on a '94 NSX. Its on the opposite side of the country but I'm willing to fly there to get it if I have to. That being said, what was the insurance increase when you went from your s2k to NSX? I would be going from a '05 s2k to a '94 NSX with less than 60k miles, the only thing that makes me think twice is how old the car is and how well it would hold up. I have other questions but I will post them later since I'm running late for dinner. Its been in a moderate accident but mechanically fine, he was willing to let someone local check it out before hand.

Here are the pics the owner sent me, he is in Morgan Hill, CA. If you guys in the area have seen this car and know something about it please let me know.

Actually, now that you mention it.....I've never thought it would be auto. But it just may be.......

Well, when you look at it from the right, looks like auto, but from left, looks like manual.

Just never seen a shifter with a thin gap like that.

Really? I didn't think it would be that big of a discrepancy. If thats the case...I may have to drop this whole plan.....

It's a manual. I've driven a few NSXs.

I looked into getting a used NSX a few years ago and inquired about the insurance cost with my insurance company (Allstate.) I don't remember the exact figures, but the increase over my '97 prelude was negligible.

However, it looks like there's some slight damage to the front of the car and my understanding is painting aluminum can be quite expensive.
