Doug's Take
The original Acura NSX is one of the best and most important sports cars ever to come out of Japan – and it's not surprising that values are on the rise. This particular NSX is incredibly special, as it's had just one owner for the last 26 years – an amazing rarity in the NSX world. It's also finished in handsome Sebring Silver, and it touts a 5-speed manual, reasonably low mileage, and no modifications. Plus, this NSX is offered with a clean, accident-free Carfax report, for added peace of mind.
