One of the finest NSX's anywhere, adult owned and meticulously pampered!


I am the 3rd owner of this stunning 1998 Berlina Black on Black, adult owned, never tracked, meticulously maintained NSX-T.  I have only owned it for about one year.  I am selling simply because age related issues make it difficult for me to enjoy the car (I'm an old semi-retired optometrist and it's difficult for me to get in and out of the car), but I don't think it should be sitting under cover in my temperature controlled garage. It needs to be driven!!! The car was purchased last year in Plano, Texas where it spent its entire life.  It was serviced there at the same Acura dealer its entire life by one tech (Carl).  A lot of maintenance receipts, parts receipts, and other documentation are available to show just how well this car has been taken car of.  It is a rare automatic, and it is extremely strong and very enjoyable to drive. I realize many of you may prefer a six speed manual but, I think this automatic holds its own and is a blast to drive, and I never had any desire to track it anyway.   It has lots of power, and if you prefer you can use the "power shifter" on the steering column or the on the floor.  New factory OE door grips and handles and knee boltsers were installed last year at a cost of $1500.  It looks and feels brand new to me inside. The car is beautiful cosmetically and mechanically.  There ARE NO ISSUES.  It runs great, sounds great, shifts smooth and with runs with authority. If you want a great handling car along with a lot of attention this is the car for you 

All of the expensive stuff has already been done, and the receipts are available.  Belts, water pump, timing belt, AC service, CV boot, Valve adjustment and cam plugs, transmission service and more.  The previous owner of eight years pampered this NSX, and I have continued to do so while I've owned it. It was recently professionally detailed and it looks amazing.  Oil changes using Mobil one have been done every 3000 miles.  The previous owner had installed new Bridgestones on the rear, the fronts didn't need them.  If you want them, a second set of 4 Bridgestones with the original factory wheels are available.

All of the the typical NSX issues 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 when you drive it, then don't buy this one.   I have all of the original stock parts for the car including the original wheels and set of tires, struts, side skirts, intake, muffler and more. Some after market parts are also available including a nose bra, mirror bra, interior aluminum trim parts,and a satin car cover. The modifications that have been made on the car were tastefully done and are only cosmetic.  They are completely reversible if you are a NSX purist.

The cosmetic mods 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)
2 Sets of floor mats, New NSX "R" style red trim
Seats reupolstered with new perforation black leather from Leatherseats,com (original seat covers available)
I-pod and I-pod adapter with USB adapter from Grom. CD changer
Nose/bumper repainted by Acura dealer.  Looks great!


I purchased the car last year, after seeing it on eBay.  I flew to Plano to inspect it, and afterward, I had it delivered to  my home 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 a little over 400 miles.   An issue that perplexed me and annoyed me after I initially listed it on eBay is the difference in the rating score given by Autocheck this year compared to last year.  Last year on eBay it was rated a 97 and this year its lower, and I don't understand why.  There are no issues with the car that have occurred within the last year. It makes no sense to me because  the only notable change from last year to this year is an additional owner (me) and about 400 additional miles on the odometer.  I have probably pampered the car even more than the other two owners.  It looks even nicer than when I bought it.  This NSX is definitely still above range vs. similar 1998 sports cars.  It is upper premium, and its a heck of lot easier to maintain than some of the other exotics.  

That's basically the story of my NSX.  Again, the car is in excellent condition mechanically and cosmetically, but it is fifteen years old and is being sold "As Is" with no warranties written or implied.   If you look hard enough you might find a couple of minor flaws, but I don't think you'll find a nicer one for sale that has been pampered and serviced like this one.

If you or a representative would like to inspect the vehicle, please contact me to make arrangements. If you're 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 otherwise unable to take your call, leave your number and I will return your call as soon as possible.  The NSX is listed for sale locally and in other venues; therefore, I retain the right to remove the eBay listing if it is no longer available.  Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day.

Acura introduces a sleeker self-driving test car

Wed, May 18 2016

As we creep ever closer to an autonomous-car future, one thing is for certain, most of the driverless cars we see being tested look hideous thanks to all the sensors strapped to the roof. Today Acura introduced its second generation Automated Acura RLX Development Vehicle with updated sensors and a more pleasing aesthetic. Gone is the spinning LIDAR system replaced with a more compact and robust version of the light detection and ranging technology. It's also got updated RADAR, camera, GPS and higher performance GPUs and CPUs as well as what Acura is calling "more intelligent software algorithms to support more complex testing scenarios." Acura and its parent company Honda have been testing autonomous cars at its GoMentum Station in the Bay Area since last year with a specially outfitted RLX (shown in the video above with the spinning LIDAR system). This new car will replace that vehicle. This article by Roberto Baldwin originally ran on Engadget, the definitive guide to this connected life.

Acura NSX owners receive custom short teaser movies of their personal car

Mon, Dec 19 2016

In a neat bit of fan service for those who've ordered Acura's new NSX halo car, the company will make a short film that reflects the way the car's been configured. Those films are on their way to future owners as you read this. In addition, they'll get a 1:18 scale custom model of their own car, reflecting every appearance option inside and out. That's neat. So neat, in fact, that we decided to commission our own video. We got together and configured a car in the lovely Nouvelle Blue Pearl, and sent our build over to Acura. They put together a video that's mostly representative of what an owner would see. You can see our build plate (hint: it says "Autoblog – Precision Crafted By Performance Manufacturing Center" on it), and that's "our" car on the dyno starting about 22 seconds in. If you want to check out someone else's film, you can compare our build to Jay Leno's. The reason Acura can do this is that there simply aren't that many available configurations for the NSX. This is at the root of one of the main criticisms some of our editors have about the car. An NSX starts at darn close to $160,000, and there are eight paint options (not too bad), four interior color options, and three seating options. All well and good, but compare that to the 16 paint and 12 interior color/material choices in a 911 Turbo, for example, choosing a similarly high-performance car at a similar price range. And there's a further wrinkle: Porsche will paint your car to match a sample you provide, so in reality the ability for an owner to make the car uniquely theirs is infinite, if you don't mind paying for it. See also the BMW Individual program, or McLaren's MSO one-offs. We're not just talking about the MSO Defined options, but the MSO Bespoke program itself, which will basically do anything you want to the car as long as it's road legal and your check doesn't bounce. We've been to MSO, and they're not kidding: they'll build anything. So yes, these custom videos are nice fan service, and they'll certainly jazz up the buyers who've already ordered one of these dynamically impressive cars. It's a move that builds loyalty, and certainly doesn't have much of a drawback. But for us, already a bit sensitive to Acura's conservative option list for the NSX, it serves to highlight the gap between Acura and the more established brands in catering to well-off customers' desire for bespoke range-topping creations.

Production Acura NSX spied getting sharper on the 'Ring

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

Acura hasn't been shy about trotting out the concept version of its upcoming NSX hybrid supercar - we've seen it colorized on Facebook, wearing Super GT drag and running wrapped at Mid Ohio - but until now, we've missed seeing the production version at all. Thankfully, our boys in the field have been diligently camped out by the Nürburgring, just the place for Acura engineers to get the NSX shaken down and ready for the public.
The first thing you'll likely notice (and no doubt appreciate) is that Acura is staying very true to the concept car. The same wind-tunnel-carved wedge shape is in evidence in the car's silhouette, and details like aggressively scalloped engine vents behind the cabin have made it through unscathed.
We do notice that there are some vertical elements at the bottom of the front fascia/grille that appear to be revised, and the mirrors are considerably less slinky than those of the concept car. Still, by and large, we're seeing a direct translation from show stand to real life here.
