What year did they get the exposed headlamps? That's what I would prefer, they're very rare and (IMO) look very sharp.

But of your 2 cars the 98 (IMO)

I know this is about the NSX, but can't you get a new/used Cayman or Cayman S for the near that?

The Cayman something to ponder (mainly for me b/c the NSX dates so far back).
Was also considering a used cayman S, but that will run you at least $50K and doesn't offer the exclusivity of the nsx or convertible driving (targa in nsx is next best thing). Boxster is not an option.

98. The difference in acceleration is more than you'd expect.

'98. The miles are no big deal. Especially if you get some service history. I bought an '00 with 35K on it a year and a half ago for just under $50K, but I think the market value went up a little when they stopped production. No problems other than tire appetite so far .Best place for info, values and to ask questions is NSXPrime. I spent a lot of time there when I started seriously looking to trade the S in on one. Saved me from making a mistake or two.

And the '02 is when they went to exposed headlights (and f'ed the car all up, in my opinion).

Good luck! Either way, I think you'll love the car. It's a blast to drive. The '98 would be a faster blast though .

1998 all the way. Whatever service needs to be done on it will need to be done on the 1995 as well, since it'll need it based on age (instead of mileage).

The 1998 is significantly quicker and it's newer, which means it's an easy choice for me.
