NSXs

Rare Honda.

This is testament unto itself.

Hondas maintain their resale value almost better than any other vehicle. Once you've owned and maintained one, you understand the reasons quickly.

More thought went into the placement of the oil filter of the 2004-2008 Accord (and Acura TL by translation) than went into the placement of the filter for the GT-R.

No kidding.

I can change EVERY fluid other than oil on my Acura RDX with a breaker bar with extension ALONE, no jack, no socket, and not even a flashlight. I'd wager I could change the entire driveline fluids on it before most GT-R owners could REMOVE the diffuser panels on the back of the GT-R. As a result of this kind of thinking and some other factors (targeted marketing, service departments with a focus on preventative maintainance, etc.), the longevity of the vehicles tends to be MUCH longer and trouble free than most other lines.

Add to that the NSX is rare (very rare indeed) only 19000 produced over 15 YEARS. The GT-R has over 5,000 of the MY2008-MY2011 by comparison. There will possilby be more R-35's produced than NSX's if the R-36 takes 5 or more years.

By comparison, the 200,000th Boxter was produced in 2006. The 986 Boxter probably saved Porsche single-handedly. Porsche makes more Boxters PER YEAR than NSX's were made in 15 years.

Just my $0.02 why an NSX costs so much. Save the cash, and buy three used Boxters, one at a time, and when they break, throw each one away and move to the next one.
