i say go for the '04 s2k..

91 nsx is just too old. a 12 yr old car for the price of a brand spanking new s2k is just not worth it imo.

that 12 year old car out does that brand new S2k is just about every aspect... Not to mention being more reliable.

Just wanted to let you all know that I ended up getting about $29,000 for my O4 Enthusiats Z with 3,300 miles on it, and that included my rims, I guess it is an ok deal, but still at quite a loss, oh well....

Will let you guys know which car I get

That's actually pretty good! What're you leaning toward now, car-wise?

I have daydreams about someone else hitting me and totalling my car so I can buy Johns!!!

All those mods at a great price, Actually the price is freaking phenominal! Plus John seems like he has a good head on his shoulders so I dont think he has thrashed it. Thats what I would be doing If I were in your shoes!!!

You're selling that? Man, I can't believe it.



Jsn350Z, nice to see you made it out of that accident. It really didn't look all that bad when you posted up the pics, I wouldn't have suspected any frame damage. Getting repair costs up to 14K isn't that difficult. Your airbags alone are probably over 5K. Each front airbag is a thousand bucks to replace. I recently hit a deer and smashed up the front end. Replacing the hood, the bumper, various engine accessories (radiator, intake tubing), one airbag and refinishing both front quarter panels came out to over 9000 dollars.

The damage looked like nothing compared to real life. The damage was to 23k I think. ( High estimate, I knew the guy. ) But even without him I think it was 18/19k or so, and the airbags did not blow, so that is not in the price.

Wish I could have gotten better pics, the thing was up against a wall so I could not get a good front shot.

Wow, sorry to hear about your Z - it's always difficult losing something special to you, but it's better than losing you. Any status of the airbags or the road problems? Sorry if I'm missing it, I didn't read every page.

Nope no status, do not think I will be doing anything about the road problems. I will mention something to nissan and will post about it when I do. More then likly they will just say unless you hit at so and so angle at so and so speed blah blah blah, you get the point.

Oh and rouxeny, not sure if you read threw the posts but you mentioned it doesnt look like frame damage accured, well, it was compleatly crushed in the front right and needed to be replaced. Like I said I wish I had better pics, they do not show it at all.

Again, thanks to everyone for all of the kind words and help, makes this forum a great place.

I agree that you should jump on the chance to grab John's Z. I saw it in real life and let me just say that the pictures don't do it justice, at all!

Well, trust me, I would jump on that in a second but even for the great and fair price that he wants for it, I can not afford it. I am sure he will have not troubles selling though.
