Yeah, except they put all those keywords in the listing... chances are if I'm looking for "keywords: Ferrari Porsche Lamborghini BMW Mercedes AMG Maserati Lotus Aston Martin Corvette 350z 370z Honda Prelude BRZ WRX FR-S FRS" I'm not interested in an NSX.

NP you should ask if they would trade

Cherry_man1 > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
07/07/2014 at 00:44

You see I have been torn about that....because I will need to put what it costs this car into a 1969 but a 1969 is so much more badass....they are both badass......help me.....

Cherry_man1 > CCC (formerly CyclistCarCoexist)
07/07/2014 at 00:44

For the Torino and My mustang?

Saracen > Cherry_man1
07/07/2014 at 00:44

LOL. Okay.

Cherry_man1 > Saracen
07/07/2014 at 00:45

I also need auto for city traffic and campus traffic and a 2.5-3 hr drive to school....

Dsscats > Cherry_man1
07/07/2014 at 00:45

It's a honda. I know someone who had one fir 5 years on just oil changes.

PheeNoIVI > Cherry_man1
07/07/2014 at 00:46

Nope, NSX over 69.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Cherry_man1
07/07/2014 at 00:47

I think I'm the only person that remembered the '69 here besides you.

K-Roll-LifeGuidanceExpert here to help you for the next 20 minutes! Do the right thing! Help ur old man! :D

Cherry_man1 > PheeNoIVI
07/07/2014 at 00:48

Well the thing with the 1969 is that it was my dads car. like when he was my age. LITERALLY his car . The guy he sold it to as a roller tried to save it after he got done with school but by then it was too far gone and just saved the door tags and fender tag and scrapped the rest. (my dad took the engine out of it) So thats why I'm torn.

TL;DR

Dad's car from college, Sentimental Value

Cherry_man1 > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
07/07/2014 at 00:49

Well he told me right now hes not ready to act on the 1969 thing just yet but he is looking out there and pricing and getting ideas....

PheeNoIVI > Cherry_man1
07/07/2014 at 00:50

Ahh, totally got you then. If I could get my dads old 280zx I would take that over almost anything.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Cherry_man1
07/07/2014 at 00:50

Oh. Well if he's anything like my dad, BUY THE NSX NOW!!!

Cherry_man1 > PheeNoIVI
07/07/2014 at 00:52

Ya now see how I;m torn?

PheeNoIVI > Cherry_man1
07/07/2014 at 00:52

Definitely

Saracen > Cherry_man1
07/07/2014 at 00:59

For city traffic, sure. For a long drive...it doesn't do you any good.

My ex gf, who can drive a stick better than most guys, said that "sports cars with automatics are neutered." Even people with vaginas think slushbox sports cars are lame.

Do automatic NSXs feature paddles or any other sort of manual gear selection?

Flavien Vidal > Cherry_man1
07/07/2014 at 08:23

You will regret buying a car like this with an automatic after a while... Really... Let it go, and find something else... Don't buy it.

Cherry_man1 > Flavien Vidal
07/07/2014 at 08:29

wo where am I gonna find one at this price and this close. And honestly I don't care about manual = master race thing. I have a 2011 Mustang GT in auto and I don't mind at all.

Flavien Vidal > Cherry_man1
07/07/2014 at 08:43

You don't pay for it cheap because of the transmission. It's cheap right now but it has close to 120.000miles. Manual will be at a similar price granted it has a high mileage also.

Personnaly, I find driving an auto, whatever the car, to be utterly boring. I hate being on the brakes constantly to, along with having a delay whenever I decide to accelerate. Accelerating is like having a turbo car from the 80s... "wait for it, wait for it...go!"

Not even talking about the downshifts mid-corner and so on...

This car has been designed to be a proper sports car. Why they even put an automatic in it is beyond my understanding. When you will be old and weak, get an auto so you can sort of enjoy those cars... But enjoy them properly while you can. There is nothing more satisfactory than downshifting a proper sports car while heel-toeing and doing it correctly.

Cherry_man1 > Flavien Vidal
07/07/2014 at 08:56

you see a lot of that doesn't really matter to me I've driven autos scenes I've started driving and where I go to school is right in the ozark hills it's also local I also live in an area where there are no curvy roads just nice long straits also the whole 80 turbo thing is bs because the 2011 GT is super fast for shifting as an auto and throttle response is instant.

Really I've driven stick before to me I can live without it. I'm never gonna go to a track so I don't see a point to a stick

Manual transmission conversions are actually fairly common on NSXs. (although it sounds like that isn't going to be something you will do in the future)

It does have a lot of miles, although not really for a Honda, but even at that; it's a rare car and parts will be pricey. You may not have major repairs, but there will be some. Also, if you do want to go manual eventually I'd factor that price in too. There are actually pretty good deals on NSXs that pop up somewhat regularly, so keep in mind that this isn't really a once in a lifetime opportunity.

If it's going to be a DD, I say find a way to drive it (or another one) to see if it will work for your 2.5hr commute every day. If it's reasonable, check it out, see if you love it, and if it works go for it.

Flavien Vidal > Cherry_man1
07/07/2014 at 09:15

wait until you see how auto trans built 20 years before were :)

I have numerous friends who think like you... Until the day they buy their first car with a manual trans... Just buy a manual whatever sports car. I promiss you that after a couple months you'll realize how much you've missed all those years.

Cherry_man1 > Chris_K_F drives an FR-Slow
07/07/2014 at 09:39

the 2.5 hr commute isn't a reg thing cause I'll be livng in the dorms at my college and ya I'll see if there is another NSX around town to text drive before I buy that's for sure. Also I will keep in mind the manual swap but considering the Ozark Moutans are super hilly and it snows frequently down there it's a toss upI'll keep it in mind though. There also is several exotic dealers down there and an Acura dealer that has 3 NSX when I was there last so I think I can shop maintenance places

Cherry_man1 > Flavien Vidal
07/07/2014 at 09:41

you say this as if I haven't drive one. I have a Challenger R/T and a Miatia both were decent but I couldn't live with it well not the Miatia anyway I'm 6'4" I kept kitting the wheel with my knee...also the challenger cause it's a cousins car I can give it another shot. But I just didn't enjoy it

Chris_K_F drives an FR-Slow > Cherry_man1
07/07/2014 at 09:55

Nice. Also, check out for forums for things/issues to look for when inspecting the car. If the car is good, I say go for it!

Bloomington isn't that far for a few thousand more with less miles & 5 speed.

anothermiatafanboy > Cherry_man1
07/07/2014 at 13:06

Nothing magical about a standard, eh? What does that have, a 4 speed auto?

Dsscats > Axial
07/07/2014 at 13:07

If you pull the shifter all the way to the hottom, you cAn select 1,2 and then Drive

Cherry_man1 > anothermiatafanboy
07/07/2014 at 13:16

Yes and because it has to be a DD in ALL weather more or less I could care less on what tranny it has

Cherry_man1 > XJDano
07/07/2014 at 13:17

Yes while it has the 5 speed its too much cause I maybe MAYBE get 15-20 for my Gran Torino and 9.8k for my Mustang.

anothermiatafanboy > Cherry_man1
07/07/2014 at 13:19

Why Are you so defensive about this? In my opinion, that 4 speed auto is a dated transmission that will sap fun out of the car, whereas the 5 speed manual in the NSX is one of the most celebrated transmissions ever made, and will ass greatly to the sense of engagement you will feel. But if you want an auto, that is fine, although I don't know why you capitalize ALL weather....manuals are just fine in ALL the WEATHERZ.

Mike > Cherry_man1
07/07/2014 at 13:40

Don't care that it's an automatic. It's an NSX, and thus objectively one of the best cars ever. Even better than a Miata.

XJDano > Cherry_man1
07/07/2014 at 13:43

I have seen that nsx on cl for $30K so he must have dropped the price.

Me personally, I'd get a manual. But do what makes you happy.

Cherry_man1 > anothermiatafanboy
07/07/2014 at 13:48

Well considering I've driven manuals only in nice weather, and only twice I might add but one was a Challenger R/T the other a Miatia(I was too big for it) , I just don't see a point to them. Also I'm looking at my area and it wouldn't be suited for it too many hills

Cherry_man1 > XJDano
07/07/2014 at 13:49

Well I've only driven stick twice in my life. I don't think I could do it . I mean ya I kinda want a stick, but this car is just too nice to pass up.

Cherry_man1 > Mike
07/07/2014 at 13:49

I agree totally

XJDano > Cherry_man1
07/07/2014 at 14:16

learn on my metro, its easy

Cherry_man1 > XJDano
07/07/2014 at 15:05

and where would it be located?

XJDano > Cherry_man1
07/07/2014 at 16:00

I live in Ofallon, MO 2 exits down from Lake StL where that NSX is.

XJDano > Cherry_man1
07/08/2014 at 00:05

another poped up in StL CL. Less miles & auto. Might be able to talk him down to same as red one.

I was just about to ask you for your paypal account e-mail until I realized it's an auto.

Cherry_man1 > XJDano

ya I read that one but he says it firm

anothermiatafanboy > Cherry_man1
07/08/2014 at 10:52

I dint think youre giving them a proper chance. When you are new to them they are difficult to drive smoothly and so your first times driving stick without doing it well it could degrade the experience. But once you get the knack of it, they add a whole new level of involvement. I don't see hills playing a role in the decision either...unless you live in San Fran or something. The ebrake method (holding the ebrake to not roll back while letting out the clutch) works wonders. I think you should manuals more of a shot, and the NSX would be much more enjoyable with one. BUUUUUUT if the auto is for you then do your thing...happy motoring!

anothermiatafanboy > Cherry_man1
07/08/2014 at 10:53

P.S. both very cool cars to drive stick!

Cherry_man1 > anothermiatafanboy
07/08/2014 at 11:49

The bigger question is and will be can I afford one that doesnt have a stick. maybe down the road I'll be able to trade for one with a stick but who knows

anothermiatafanboy > Cherry_man1
07/08/2014 at 13:07

Yea the manual one will cost more and will hold their value better. I looooove the NSX. You cant go wrong....but you can go more right with the stick.

Cherry_man1 > anothermiatafanboy
07/08/2014 at 14:34

Ya thats kinda money I dont have...like I need to get around 15k for the Torino and 9.8k for my mustang to be able to afford that red one...
