Supercar Prices

[Swiss Toni]

I know 119k miles is a lot for a supercar, but it isn't so much for a Honda.

£14500 and for a UK spec car. £20k buys a low milesage one.

There are some bargains about.

ooh, nice! I've always liked the NSX, but before you dip your toes in, check the tyre prices, as I recall, each of the 4 tyres is different and only made by yokohama

still though, I'd be very tempted if I had that kinda disposable cash lieing around

Lovely lovely lovely cars the NSX, however its easy to forget how much these were new.

There is someone on Pistonheads who need a full set of new suspension bushes, at an eyewatering £10k

Used to be. Now £75 a shot, might even last as much as 8k miles...

Do you recall the Top Gear "Italian Supercar for under £10k" challenge?

The payoff was "Yes, you can buy an Italian supercar for under ten thousand, but for God's sake don't!"

Agreed, the Honda will have far superior reliability, but the £10k suspension bushes, presumably made from unobtainium, should give you an idea of the true cost of ownership.

Some of those modifications the seller lists give me cause for concern. The NSX boys are very much ones for "doing jobs properly"; I wouldn't expect to see them fitting cone filters and cheapy alloy wheels, even if the originals are included.

The fact that it's running on Nankangs would set very large alarm bells ringing. If they've been fitting budget tyres, what else have they been skimping on? Perhaps the first part of the number plate should be telling us something.
