1996 Acura Nsx-t 5 Spd - Rare Color-midnight Pearl -low Miles16k Original Owner on 2040-cars

 

Thank you for viewing my 1996 Acura NSX-T with 5 Speed Manual Transmission.  I am the original owner of this vehicle, having purchased it directly from Acura of Brooklyn/Plaza Automall in NY.  The vehicle is currently located in Long Island, NY.  The sticker price of the vehicle was $84,225 plus tax/luxury tax.   The original sticker, plus various dealership brochures, service records, articles and other NSX memorabilia will be presented to the new owner as well.   This new 1996 model was purchased and titled in May of 1997.  It is a very RARE color combination that I bought off the showroom floor.  The color, which is designated on the sticker as “Plum” is referred to in the Acura brochure as “Midnight Pearl.” As you can see in the pictures, depending on the light, it sometimes looks black, sometimes looks dark blue and sometimes looks purple.   According to my research, only 33 NSX’s were manufactured in 1996 worldwide in this color.  During the entire NXS production run, dating back to 1991, only 87 in total were produced in this color.

 I have listed the specs of this vehicle, but essentially it was purchased with every conceivable option, including keyless remote entry, custom floor mats and trunk mat and 5-CD changer mounted in the trunk.  Additionally, I purchased from the dealership the OEM NSX Car cover and the OEM front end bra/mask.  These items will also be included in the sale of the vehicle.  The NSX Car cover has been used every day since the car was purchased.  The front end mask was used once.  Essentially I tried it on shortly after I bought the vehicle to see how it would fit and function.  It worked fine.  I did not keep it on, nor did I ever use it again due to fear of damaging the paint from moisture or uneven fading, etc.  There is nothing wrong with the front end mask.  I simply never really had a use for it.  This NSX has NEVER been left outside.  It has been garaged and covered every day since purchase.  This vehicle has never seen snow, ice, sleet, etc.  It has rarely ever seen rain.  Absolutely NO accidents and a clean car fax.  This was always an extra vehicle and was never driven on a routine basis.  This explains the ultra-low mileage given its year of origin.  As the original and only owner, I can also unequivocally state that the car has never been raced, tracked or in any way abused.  It has never been driven by anyone but myself.  The only other “addition” to this vehicle is the purchase of dealer installed LoJack Stolen Vehicle Recovery System, which enables police to locate the vehicle.

All standard equipment is intact with one exception.  A few years ago I replaced the standard wheels and tires with aftermarket ones.  I spent three thousand dollars on new wheels and tires.  I went from the standard 215/45ZR16 Front and 245/40ZR17 Rear combination to Bridgestone Potenza tires and Volk SF Challenge wheels:  Front:  225/35ZR18 and Rear: 275/30ZR19.  Please see the pictures.

I have immensely enjoyed owning this car and look forward to transferring ownership to the next lucky individual.

The NSX introduction in the early 1990’s was heralded as revolutionary, from the perspective of engineering, styling, materials and performance characteristics.  It became not only the benchmark for supercar performance, but set a new standard for maintenance and care.  

 “Ferrari performance with Honda reliability.” 

Its introduction changed the way people thought about high performance exotic cars, establishing new standards of quality and sophistication.  The NSX was hand built in a custom designed factory.  Each NSX engine is hand crafted by a single highly experienced technician.    The lightweight, all aluminum, V-6 engine uses the DOHC VTEC system to produce 270 HP and abundant low RPM torque.  This produces as much, or more power than a comparable V-8 engine, but the V-6 design accomplishes this with considerably less mass and better handling.

One feature that established the NSX as a benchmark vehicle is that the entire car body is made from aluminum, making it the first all-aluminum production sports car ever built.  This yields a monocoque structure with a high level of strength and rigidity but with a 40% weight savings.  Another revolutionary feature of the NSX’s engineering is that the connecting rods that transfer  power from the aluminum pistons to the crankshaft are made of titanium.

Recent major servicing done:  Brakes resurfaced, new battery, oil change, transmission service/fluid change, brake fluid flush, coolant service, drain and flush fuel lines.
