Default Selling my beloved NSX .....

Hello all, first post here!

Put up the NSX for sale the other day after seeing the C8 reveal and in person at local dealer on 7/25 at Paradise Chevrolet.....I've been obsessed ever since and can't get over what Chevy has done here...Amazed!!

Reminds me of what NSX did 30 years ago when it was introduced.....Changed the game!!!


Love my 1992 NSX, but after 16 years and three different ones, it's time for something new....was into the 981 Caymans, but the C8 just changed everything

Looks like I already have a buyer, so if all goes well I'll be ordering soon!!!

Any SoCal dealers not charging ADM???




Think I'm sticking with white

Look forward to becoming part of the community

Not at twice the cost..... similar 0-60 times.

Love the NSX, just way overpriced compared to this

I can see choosing a C8 as a replacement if a person was ok with going to an automatic and GM-level quality.
Was lucky enough to be one of the first people to sit in one last month at local dealership and was sold ... the interior was fantastic

Going to sell mine ('99 Turbocharged NSX), but wait for the Z06. Just cannot fall in love with new NSX.

Sold my ‘96 three years ago and regretted it. Got a’17 but was too pricey for what you got. Went looking for a Gen 1 again and prices got silly. Almost pulled a trigger until the C8 was announced.

I have a 2018 NSX that I love and it’s not going anywhere for the time being. I do see a C8 Z06 and a 720S in the future.

To the the original poster, can you DM how much you’re selling yours for? The original is one of my all time favs. By the time I could afford one the 02-05s were all so expensive it just didn’t really make sense.

Seeing the pics above reminds one of why the NSX acronym was referred to by the automotive press as "No Sex" when it launched -- both the styling and driving experience while "refined" just didn't deliver visual or driving excitement.

The '8 with its howling V8 and sexier (albeit derivative styling) will be a stellar upgrade. Good decision!
