The Internet provides us joyous activities like viewing viral videos and doge memes or scrolling Reddit and The Chive for picture threads and captions. We, thus, avoid those sites that serve as depraved citadels of snarky trolls – and other questionable material – in favor of these gems to find. One of those lustrous examples of the web’s greatness came in the form of an eBay listing. It was for a 1992 Acura NSX.
If you’re outside the U.S., you’ll know it as the 1992 Honda NSX. Consider this the automotive parallel of our refusal to join the metric system.
CarScoops discovered the listing and posted it for pure admiration. As the article notes, we, too, are astounded that an owner could have one of the most lauded sports cars at his or her fingertips yet not drive it. It almost feels wasteful to allow a gorgeous machine built for driving to sit still for decades. A person must have an unwavering resolve to close the garage without at least taking it around the block (a few hundred times).
This particular vehicle accrued a mere 2,209 miles – or, a 100-mile yearly average – in the twenty-two years since it left the showroom. With a starting bid of $66,000 and “But It Now” price set at $77,000, this listing surely won’t last long.
Here’s what the eBay seller posted to describe the car:
“I bought the car hoping to keep it for a long long time. I since have made a job change and am liquidating a few things. I acquired this from a local car collector/can am racer/business friend mine. He bought it new in Madison, WI. He drove it to Janesville, WI. Where he cared for it in a climate controlled environment. It has only been driven on sunny days and intentionally only around 100 miles per year.
This car is 100% original and nearly unused. All you would need to do is put the included original window sticker back in the window and back it on to the showroom. It sure would look nice next to a new 2015!
Every item functions perfectly. The car has never been scratched, scuffed, dented in any way. The wheels on this car are absolutely perfect, never curbed, pitted or stained. The tires are the original tires, which do not show any signs of age at all. The A022 tires are no longer made. Power antenna works perfectly. Original tool kit in trunk has never had a piece removed, let alone used.”
