Why would anyone get a "car" loan on something that old anyway, it's pretty stupid. Like stated, you'll get stupid interest rates. Get a signature loan, equity line, 401k loan, etc. There are so many other ways to finance a car than a typical car loan.

Every 15,000 miles you have to get a valve job. Hall Acura charges around $500 I believe.

Hig maintenence cost but super reliable. might i add the gas mileage is awsome.

That doesn't really seem too reliable to me. Reliability should mean you don't have to get a new timing belt every 5 years or a fucking valve job every 15k miles. I never knew high maintenence meant reliable.

If that is your definition of reliable, follow that service schedule for every vehicle ever made and I don't think you'd find anything that wasn't reliable. Not even a *gasp* Ford.

And can it really be considered a "supercar"? It's a great sportscar yes, but just because it is overpriced doesn't make it a super car. That'd be like calling a Viper a supercar.

Okay, let me rephrase: Not many banks will give a 19yo a 30k loan period.

That's the regular service intervals for just about any Honda.

Pretty much. I don't know if a valve adjustment had ever been done on my car before, but at 115k, only like 2 were out, and only like 1 thousandth each.

Loans don't have as much to do with age as they do with credit, job history, finances.

I know that most 19yo don't have good financial sense and that's probably the problem. The better way to phrase would be that not many 19yo's can get a loan from a bank.

Then that really sucks. No wonder they are so "reliable". Thankfully I'll never have to worry about that.

I think the NSX would have been taken much more seriously in the U.S. if they were... oh... ~$50,000 cheaper.

And LOL @ this:

There is such a double standard with Hondas, it's silly.

What's the double standard? Are you implying that because the NSX has expensive and often scheduled service intervals, that Hondas as a whole are not as reliable as their reputation suggests?

wait, i just had to LOL at oppions for a sec. haha

ok now that's out of the way....

..the NSX is one of Honda's best cars ever made, The technology that Honda designed in that car back in the 90's is just crazy.. that car was way ahead of its time when it came out. That's why they didn't the model for so long. I remember reading an article where GMC or FORD bought one and completely parted it out to see how Honda built that thing.

heres to the NSX
