Is the Honda NSX a good investment?
NA2 Coupe Manual (1997–2005, pre-facelift)
The thesis
Uprated to 3.2L C32B V6 (280 PS JDM / 290 hp USDM), 6-speed manual, revised chassis geometry, final NSX generation before 15-year hiatus. Last naturally aspirated, mid-engine, hand-built Honda supercar. More mid-range torque and closer ratios than NA1, making it the preferred driver's car. JDM RHD manual coupes fit top of stated budget. Values firm since 2023, strong long-term collectability tied to analog purity and Honda's exit from this segment.
