Vehicle Detail
For sale is a 1999 NSX in excellent overall condition, pretty well entirely original except very minor changes detailed below. I have had the car just over two years, flew to California to buy it sight unseen, had TB/WP done locally (by complete chance my customer in LA's father-in-law is the NSX tech at the Acura dealer in Anaheim) shipped it back top save on the mileage. I am now selling the car as it has become a bit of a garage queen due to my nervousness parking and driving it “just anywhere”. I started looking for a higher mileage coupe as a daily driver, and stumbled over a scruffy 91 CTSC locally in February, so bought that and have been driving it daily. Photos to prove this on request. So the 1999 has been more or less sitting there since then then, This car drives extremely well, no issues, no leaks. Great oil pressure both when cold and hot (see photos). Both windows go up and down fine! AC works great, CD changer and stereo all working OK and has the Smartenna upgrade. Full toolkit.No real wear on the interior, minimal on the drivers bolster. My PPI was done at Metro Acura in Monclair, CA and both they and Weir Canyon said it was one of the best NSXs that they had had in their shops. Nabil at First Class Auto in Orlando has also driven it and given it his blessing. She has twice been included in the Cars And Coffee at Amelia Island Concours D’Elegance. Paint seems to be original. I have been over the painted metal with one of a quality paint thickness gauge and pretty well all of it is uniform and less than 6 mil. The only exception seems to be the driver-side rear quarter across the top which seems to be a little more, like 7 mils. I think this very unlikely to have been repainted though – seems like a very odd place to have been damaged so I think this is likely original. There are a few marks on the lower driver’s door, and a light series of scratch marks on the trunk lid and top of the hood (about 6 inch square, which I should buff out - I will get this looked at later this week), along with the usual minor rock chips on the front of the car. Overall the paint really pops with no signs of swirls. It was last detailed and clayed back in January prior to Amelia Island. There is one accident on record (2001 or so) but this must have been confined to the plastic bumper covers (front or rear) as no sign of paint work as described above.I have full docs since I bought it in June 2013, nothing available prior to then. But the car has clearly lead a sheltered life. Since I have owned it:June 2013, 67,867: Timing belt, water pump, belts, valve adjustment, oil change, air filter, glove box hinges, rear brake pads, trunk struts and coolant tank replaced by Weir Canyon Acura, Anaheim, CAJuly 2013: New batteryApril 2014, 69,899: front pads and rotors, oil changeApril 2014: AC head unit fixed by BrianK (it had the usual NSX full-blast-or-zero fan problem)December 2014, 71,837: replaced thermostat as was sticking openAugust 2015, 73.100: new tiresNo known mechanical issues. Cars sits on brand new Kumho Ecsta XS tires with (as of today) 100 miles on them, stock 16/17 rims and Intraxx lowering springs offering a slight drop - I would guess at 1". The Smartenna addition means the antenna only goes up when listening to the radio - the factory stereo triggers the antenna with radio, cassette or CD. I don't have any cassettes so have never tested the cassette player. The only issue that I can think of is that there is a small tear in the rear targa seal (attached to the body). This does NOT leak or generate any wind noise. St Augustine is half way between Jacksonville and Daytona Beach and I can meet you at either airport if flying in to view or pickup her up. PPI is no problem, anywhere within a reasonable drive, suggest you use one of the two dealers in Jacksonville – Orange Park Acura (they have worked on both my NSXs, parts manager is a Prime member with a 1991) and Duval Acura (no knowledge of them at all, driven by the fact that they tried to charge me $567 to do the thermostat…). I don’t know anything about the Daytona dealerships. I did a quick scan of the NSX Prime For Sale ads – there hasn’t been a 1999 for sale since December last year, more than 100 cars back so this is a pretty unusual find. They (97-01 NA2s, and for some reason 1999s) seem to be the hardest of the NSX subgroups to find for sale. Even though less frog-eye 2002-2005 cars were made and for less time, they seem to come up more often. Lastly, I have the original Carfax from when I bought the car two years ago in PDF if you need it. Cash, wire transfer or cashiers check (I will be calling your bank to confirm authenticity) to close the deal Shipping is obviously up to you once paid for. I will work with you and your shipper as necessary, as did the guy who sold it to me. Good luck with your bidding, you are buying an instant classic that will never lose value, only increase. Message me if you need to discuss over the phone or in person, or need more info, photos etc. For giggles I ran a nationwide search on Craigslist, and it came up with about 40 NSX for sale. Of these, only 5 were NA2 97-01 cars. Of those 5, one was salvage, one was automatic, and two were heavily modified turbo/supercharged cars. Which left just the one which is yellow and has modified exhaust and brakes. So basically, it's very tough to find an unmolested 97-01 car with 6 speed
