This Super Clean 1991 Acura NSX Is Going For $185,000
This Super Clean 1991 Acura NSX Is Going For $185,000-October 2024

It makes me kind of sad that the new doesn’t seem to be super well-received by the Honda faithful, in large part because it’s so different by the beloved original. The new one is a high-tech spaceship, maybe the best handling car I have ever driven. But if the first NSX’s purity is more your speed, and you have about as much money to spend, here’s a clean 1991 one going for $185,000.

We all know that , as (some of) the millennials who grew up lusting after them actually acquire money to make their dreams come true. But in the case of the original NSX, which was never a cheap car in its day, we’ve now hit the point where at least one is about as expensive as the latest hybrid, twin-turbo all-wheel drive model. That car starts around $156,000 and .

If nostalgia’s more your bag, check out . It’s for a red 1991 model with a scant 1,733 miles on the odometer. One owner. Barely driven! From the listing, and pardon the punctuation here:

** THIS IS “NOT” A RESTORED NSX! * NOR is it SOME SILLY BARN FIND!! * THIS IS A 100%”ALL ORIGINAL” CA CAR. 100% AUTHENTIC and ORIGINAL OWNER 1ST YEAR PRODUCTION ACURA NSX #355 OFFERED TODAY with FULL DOCUMENTATION FROM DELIVERY NEW...TUCKED AWAY and LOVINGLY MAINTAINED in a CLIMATE CONTROLLED COLLECTION SINCE DRIVEN OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR SEPT 6th,1990.* MIGHT JUST BE A ONCE in a LIFETIME OWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY to ADD to a SERIOUS COLLECTION?

You could do far worse as your daily driver. I’ve been , and in terms of handling, manual gearbox goodness, style, coolness and everyday livability, it absolutely lives up to the legend it has now. You won’t be winning many drag races with the 270 horsepower aluminum 3.0-liter V6, but that isn’t the point.

Still, is a super-clean, barely driven NSX good enough to warrant that $185,000 price tag, which is the Buy It Now price on this auction that ends Tuesday? I’m not sure. You could get a new McLaren for that much, or several cheaper cars, or, again, the new NSX.

It’s a dream car for somebody out there. I do hope whoever buys this thing actually drives it, because the NSX deserves to be put to good use.

Hat tip to Glenn K!

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...
