Hi, the NSX was and is a great car. They are quite rare here, as are other Japanese high-end sports cars (TOYOTA Supra, NISSAN ZXT). The main reason being,
that they do not keep their value well long term.....
Not sure where 'here' is (Germany from teh number of 'D' plates in your photo's?), but in UK they do OK.
I recently turned down a cash offer for more than twice what paid for my car.

Hi, my statements refer to Germany.
The offer made to you sounds good, but this is because you bought the NSX used, I assume. The depreciation of the early years was not your problem.
Japanese car quality is high, only spares are expensive (here). - I had two: NISSSAN NX 100GTI, SUBARU Forester.
Have fun, with your NSX!
Yes, I bought my car second hand.
As for spares, yes they can be eye-wateringly expensive, but sourcing from the US helps greatly - some are 25% (even after shipping and duty) of the price charged by Honda UK. I'd have thought this would work even better for Germany as some of the parts are 'handed' and you and the US both have the steering wheel on the wrong side!
Currently unsure how to get my NSX out of winter storage due to the lockdown here in the UK

The Wankel engine was unreliable. MAZDA perfected it using better sealings ... :

There's also a longer report under Wankel engine in Wiki and Garside sounds like a fantastic enineer.Hi, I looked a little into the Wankel engine properties here:
