Doug's Take

The Acura NSX is a legendary sports car – and here's your chance to get the one of the best versions Acura offered in North America. This particular NSX is a post-facelift 2002 model that boasts the more potent 3.2-liter V6, a 6-speed manual transmission, and a targa top. It also touts numerous tasteful upgrades to improve handling and give it a unique look, including 17-inch Volk Racing TE37 SL wheels, KW V3 coilovers, a StopTech big brake kit, and sway bars and chassis bracing from an NSX Type R. Plus, this NSX comes with a clean, accident-free Carfax report, showing ownership mostly in warm-climate states from new, for added peace of mind.

• Sold as a Honda in global markets, the first-generation Acura NSX made its debut for 1991 as a user-friendly supercar with Ferrari-like performance and Japanese reliability. Aluminum construction kept weight in check, and the NSX stood out as the first production car equipped with titanium connecting rods. Production of the original NSX ended in 2005.
• A facelift for the 2002 model year brought revised front and rear fascias and did away with the pop-up headlights from earlier models in favor of fixed xenon HID units. Other changes included larger wheels and a revised suspension system.
• Power comes from a 3.2-liter V6, rated at 290 horsepower and 224 lb-ft of torque. Output is set to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission.
