Buyer’s notes
About the Honda NSX (NA2)
From 1997 the NSX coupé had the 3,179 cc C32B V6, giving 290 PS, and a six-speed manual gearbox, the change that made it the NA2. It kept the all-aluminium monocoque, and in 2002 gained fixed headlights in place of the pop-ups. The NA2 six-speed coupé is scarcer than the original NA1.
What moves the price
- Gearbox and body: six-speed manual coupés are the market; automatics, which kept the 3.0-litre engine, and targas trade lower.
- Front style: the 2002-on fixed-headlight facelift divides taste.
- Accident history: repairing aluminium demands specialist skills, so a car’s accident record is the main value question.
Before you buy, check
- Evidence of any accident damage, and of who repaired it.
- When the timing belt was last changed.
- The chassis number decoded, so the version and build window match the car you are shown.
