One of the finest NSX's anywhere, adult owned, never tracked, meticulously maintained!


I am the 3rd owner of this stunning 1998 Berlina Black NSX-T.  I have only owned it for about one year.  I am selling it for several reasons that have made it difficult for me to enjoy the car.   First, there are several age related health issues that have made it more difficult for me drive the NSX more frequently .  Second,  I am spending much of my free time finishing the restoration of my 1956 Corvette, which also interferes with the free time that I have to drive the NSX.  Finally, and probably most importantly, I simply have too many cars often referred to  as "Big Boy Toys." I'm selling some of them now so that my wife isn't forced to deal with them in the future!  But I'm selling them, only if I can get a fair price. Both Kelley Blue Book and NADA Price Guide value this NSX at $40,000+; therefore, I think my asking price is very reasonable.  

I purchased the NSX last year in Plano, Texas where it spent its entire life.  Obviously it's never been driven in the snow, and I'd  venture to say it probably has never seen rain.  It was originally purchased at the McDavid  Acura dealer in Plano, TX, and. afterward it was serviced there its entire life by one Master NSX Tech named Carl.  The second owner pampered this car and provided me with  lot of maintenance receipts, parts receipts, and other documentation to show just how well it had been taken car of.  Those receipts are available to whomever buys the car. 

It is a rare automatic, and runs extremely strong.  I personally think this automatic holds its own and is a blast to drive.   It has plenty of power, and if you prefer you can use the "power shifter paddles" on the steering column. Owner #2 had several cosmetic modification and/ or updates performed on this car. He had new factory OE door grips and handles and knee boltsers installed last year at a cost of $1500.  To me, the interior looks and feels brand new. The car is beautiful both cosmetically and mechanically. There ARE NO ISSUES with the car.  It runs great, sounds great, shifts smooth and drives with authority. If you want a great handling car along with a lot of attention then this NSX is the car for you.  Many people stop and stare at it and inevitably ask what is it and what year is it?  Nobody can believe it's a 1998 model.  Before the NSX was introduced as a supercar in 1991 by Honda, many "car experts" scoffed at it. History showed that it held its own against the Ferraris, Porsches, and many other exotics.   Moreover, it became apparent that the NSX is much easier and less expensive to maintain than the higher priced super cars. 

All of the expensive stuff has already been done on this NSX courtesy of owner #2, and once again, all of the receipts are available.  Belts, water pump, timing belt, AC service, CV boot, Valve adjustment and cam plugs, transmission service and more have been done.  The Carfax report that I recently acquired confirms that all of the aforementioned services had been performed by the McDavid Acura dealership in Plano.   The previous owner of eight years pampered this NSX, and I have continued to do so. It was recently professionally detailed and it looks amazing.  Oil changes using Mobil one have been done every 3000 miles. A year ago new Bridgestones were installed on the rear wheels, the fronts didn't need them.  If you want a second set of 4 Bridgestones with the original factory wheels, they are available.

All of the other NSX issues also were taken care of.  The factory new climate control and main fuse were attended to.  I have had no mechanical issues with it in the time that I have owned it.  The plugs were changed one year ago. You can buy the car and immediately enjoy it, because it has no issues. The car is a show stopper, and gets unbelievable attention wherever I drive it.  If you don't like being asked questions about your car, this one is not for you.   

All of the modifications that have been performed on this NSX were tastefully done and purely cosmetic. They are all easily reversible if you want to return it to a 100% original NSX.  Personally I think it looks better the way it is right now.  Nethertheless,  I have all of the original stock parts for the car including the original wheels, struts, side skirts, intake, muffler and more if your want to return it to the original factory specs.  Some after market parts are also available including a nose bra, mirror bra, interior aluminum trim parts,and a car cover. No mechanical alterations were performed on this car.

The cosmetic modifications include the following:

Wings West Side Skirts and Spats, 
JIC Coil Overs adjustable from the top, with fully adjustable height and ride. Rides better than stock
I-Forged 2 piece wheels, black center, polished lip, 17's on front, 18's on rear
Comptech aluminum engine brace
Machined aluminum trim rings around gauges, and extra trim pieces uninstalled
Ark quad tip exhaust and Downforce Air Intake (adds about 10-15 hp)
 Floor mats, New NSX "R" style with red trim
Seats were reupolstered with new perforated black leather from Leatherseats,com (original seat covers available)
An I-pod and I-pod adapter with USB adapter from Grom was added. CD changer
Nose/bumper was repainted by Acura dealer to eliminate the rock chips.  It looks great!

Before I bought the car last year, I flew to Plano, Texas  to inspect it. I then had it delivered to  my home from Plano in an enclosed trailer by a professional classic car transportation company.  I live about 30 miles directly west of Pittsburgh, PA.  Since I have owned the car I have only driven it about 500 miles. There are no issues mechanical or otherwise that have occurred within the last year.  I have probably pampered the car even more than the other two owners.  In my opinion, this NSX is definitely way above range vs. similar 1998 sports cars.  It was introduced as an upper premium exotic, and I can say without hesitation that its a heck of lot easier to maintain than some of the other much higher priced exotics (because I've owned some of them).  

I believe this NSX is in excellent condition both mechanically and cosmetically, but it is fifteen years old; therefore, it is being sold "As Is" with no warranties written or implied.   If you look long and hard enough you might find a couple of minor flaws, but I don't think you'll find a nicer one for sale nor one that has been pampered and serviced like this one. It is being advertised locally, as well as through other automotive venues; therefore, I reserve the right to end this listing early.

If you or a representative would like to inspect the vehicle, please contact me to make arrangements. If you would like a copy of the CARFAX report contact me, and I'll provide it for you.  If you're really serious about the car,  and you need additional information,  you can reach me by phone at (304) 491-2020.  If I'm examining a patient,  or I am otherwise unable to take your call,  please leave a message,  and I will return your call as soon as possible. Finally,  please understand that this IS NOT a distress sale!!  I think I have priced the car fairly and firmly.  I may knock off a $1000 if you don't want all of the original parts, but that's it, so please don't bother sending me any ridiculous offers.  Time is too precious to waste!!!  Thanks for looking, and have a wonderful day!!!

2014 Acura MDX ad campaign the most expensive in brand's history

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

Realizing that it must spend more marketing dollars to compete with the more established luxury automakers, Acura is preparing to launch its most expensive ad campaign ever for its redesigned 2014 MDX. At $78 million, according to Advertising Age, the new "Made for Mankind" campaign that kicks off next month is exactly double what Acura spent on the 2013 RDX launch last year. It's also the brand's first cooperation with its new agency, Boston- and Los-Angeles-based Mullen Advertising. Thanks to its bigger budget, we'll be seeing ads for the MDX pop up just about everywhere from television commercials, cinemas and billboards to videos focused on computers and mobile devices.
The first such video is entitled "Human Race," and it enunciates Acura's recent tagline highlight, the synergy between man and machine. More interestingly, the 2014 MDX, which went on sale this month, doesn't make an appearance in the 60-second spot until close to the end. This video is posted below as well as a press release from Acura along with images of various ads we should start soon.

Acura ILX headed for Civic-like early upgrades

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

The not-yet-ready-for-primetime 2012 Honda Civic saw it quickly returned to sender for refurbishment, now the Acura ILX is headed in the same direction in its very first year. Automotive News reports that the small, Civic-based sedan from Honda's luxury brand isn't meeting sales expectations, with an annualized rate of 22,000 to 24,000 sales instead of the 30,000 the company is after. More telling is that the ILX "is being outsold by the Buick Verano, Volkswagen CC and Audi A4," and, except for two months since it launched, it has also been outdone by the Acura TSX it is meant to replace.
Part of the cause has been the 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine: its 150 horsepower to motivate a sedan that can weigh up to 2,970 pounds doesn't offer the kind of performance or value experience that buyers in the segment respond to. Another big issue is that the top-level 2.4-liter engine is only offered with a six-speed manual even though most buyers of the highest trim don't really want to shift their own gears. Lastly, the ILX might not put enough space between it and its frugal underpinnings - our first drive review pegged it as "the world's nicest Honda Civic."
An automatic transmission is on the way for the 2.4-liter, but it isn't clear when. And while Honda admits that the 2.0-liter is underpowered and Automotive News says it's on the way out, the company hasn't yet said how that situation will be corrected.

Acura RLX pricing and launch plan detailed

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

Acura has released pricing for its upcoming flagship, the RLX, at the Detroit Auto Show this week. Powered by an all-new direct-injected 3.5-liter V6 rated at 310 horsepower, the front-wheel-drive sedan replaces the outgoing RL model (2011's worst-selling car of the year) as the automaker's new flagship.
In addition to boasting the most spacious passenger cabin in its mid-luxury class, the new range-topping Acura features the automaker's first-ever application of Precision All-Wheel Steer and Jewel Eye LED headlamps. Standard equipment includes Lane Departure Warning and Forward Collision Warning, with Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow, and Blind Spot Information (BSI) system trim and option specific.
The four-door will initially be sold in five grades (prices exclude a destination charge of $895):
