Thinking about selling my FD... :(

I kinda want to buy an NSX.

I'm thinking about posting it up for sale on here, anyone want to help me make this decision?

anyone want to buy my FD before I actually list it for sale?



I seriously don't know what to do...

Either way... so long as you aren't buying that NSX from the Acura dealership off of 183...... We saw it first!

I have a connection to get one off of an auction, so the one I might get is only going to cost like $24k.

I doubt the Acura dealership will let it go for less than $30k.

College, that's whats wrong with me, the weather up here sucks and so do the roads.

I'll get another 7 after I get out of school though, I've had way too much fun in the time I've had my FD.

Don't worry i'll be back.

Depends on its mileage, I've seen plenty below 30k.
Lowest was 19k with ~150k miles but its still a Honda (many more miles out of the engine easily) and totally worth it.

I'm actually pretty set on picking up a CTS-V as a kick around though. I actually want to be able to have a fun car people (I.E. more than ONE passenger) want to use for road trips.

Yea the only reason i want to get an NSX is because it's one of the few cars I like, and would be better for the 255 mile road trip I have to make twice a month.

I've seen your car.... you can get that much for it if you're patient. No Sooners willing to shell out the dough?? Oh wait, your at OSU, right? Go Cowboys!

I'm in no hurry to sell, if I can get $20k for my car I'll be able to pay cash for the NSX.

Financing even a small amount of money in this economy would cost me more than its worth.

BTW my car is an original white and only has 65,000 miles on it. Currently has a brand new ported and balanced motor with about 6k miles on it. Professionally built and tuned and has everything you need to support a single turbo.

I forgot to take some when I was at home and now my car is still there and I'm in Oklahoma.

I'll see if I can get my dad to take some and I'll post them up as soon as I can.

Okay so let me get this straight. Your wanting to buy another sports car that is rare and buy a SMALLER car (interior wise) to drive to school...

Yes something is wrong with you.

But on the plus side... how much?

How about a Honda Civic instead

You know you can just buy a junker to putt around town in and not have to sell your FD

money is not the issue

i just want something that i don't have to worry as much about (i.e. warming up the car before driving)

i've always had a thing for the NSX, i could buy the NSX and KEEP the 7 but i don't want to have to pay for a car that i could only drive 3 months out of the year

I wish money wasnt an issue for me high roller! You know that every car has a short warm up process. Might not be as long as the RX7 but still.

You would have a thing for NSX's

So you want to buy a car that says BREAK INTO ME NAO!

There is nothing wrong with a car that you can only drive 3 months thats the RX7 way. Thats what makes us RX7 owners.
