Am I completely out of touch or does this seem rather cheap?

I don't know what the going rate is on these nowadays, but might it be a low estimate to generate interest?

It's very cheap at that estimate.

It is Coys though so it may well turn out to be a Nissan Micra with a fibreglass bodykit wink

I'd think its priced about right, autos aren't too desirable and no mention of miles.

"Mileage" at the last MOT was 141,176 kilometers. Looks like it's not an original UK car.

All things considered it's probably not such a bargain then.

I recall a written-off Porsche Turbo, that Coys sold some time ago. As it had been written off before entering the UK it didn't show on the V5C and Coys neglected to mention it.

same car appeared in the Jan auction with an estimate of £27,000- £32,000, so estimate has slightly lowered
Quite like them myself, but wouldn't consider an auto ...

It's an imported Auto model, so whilst great looking and iconic, it's less deirable than say a UK Manual one, so I'd say it was priced accordingly. Also, some purists won't like the fact that it's got a fibreglass bonnet etc.

I had a UK Manual about 15 years ago and one of the few cars I regret selling... try and buy one now for the £22k I paid! :-(

To my eyes it seems way too expensive for a scabby old Honda tongue out

Ah, just drive a manual then open all the lids and admire the beautiful detail, you will see what makes these so very special.

I recognise this car. It has the strange bonnet. It used to belong to a lad who works for Maclaren.
Whe I viewed it last year there was no history at all, no proof of cambelt changes etc. It drove very well. He sold it for about £22K I think. I wasn't perpared to go to that.
I have driven a few of these, but really find them a bit, well, unexciting? Very good in all respects, just a bit dull. Keep trying to like them, but.....

Its a modified import with an auto box and poor history. In the hierachy of NSX's it is about as undesirable as they get. Still cheap compared to the contemporary Porsche or Ferrari though.

I've never looked for NSX's in the classifieds but that much for an auto with aftermarket wheels and what looks like painted red calipers??
