It is offered by a dealer at auction, with the current bid at $33,750 and five days remaining. The hook is a genuinely low-mileage, honestly documented NA1 selling early in its run, well below where these cars typically settle.1991 Acura NSXWhat it's worth right nowAccording to Classic.com market data for the NA1 NSX, the average sale price is about $82,551, with recorded sales ranging from a low of $45,000 to a high of $198,000. This same car previously sold on BaT in June 2020 for $69,000, which provides a direct prior data point. The current bid of $33,750 with five days to go sits dramatically below both that average and the car's own 2020 result, which means bidding has substantial room to climb before the close. A repaint on the hood and front end, plus an air conditioning system that does not blow cold, are the factors that will keep this from the very top of the range, but even accounting for those, the current number is far under market and should rise considerably. The realistic landing zone is well into the high five figures rather than where it sits now.1991 Acura NSXCondition and detailsThe seller, a longtime Arizona dealer liquidating a collection for health reasons, is notably upfront about the car's flaws, which is a point in its favor. Paint meter readings indicate the hood and front headlights were repainted before the dealer took possession, possibly the right rear quarter as well, all consistent with the readings from the 2020 sale.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe air conditioning does not blow cold, with a repair estimate shown in the gallery, and the tires, while branded as recent, are scrutinized heavily in the comments as likely 1990s date-coded units that should be replaced before driving. Other notes include curb rash on the left rear wheel, a driver door lock actuator repaired in 2025, and a service invoice recommending an oil pan gasket. Critically, the timing belt service was last performed in 2011, so that interval is due and should be budgeted. The transaxle serial confirms it falls outside the known snap ring failure range.1991 Acura NSXThe offerMake: AcuraModel: NSX (NA1)Year: 1991Mileage: 23,000 milesEngine: 3.0-liter VTEC V6, mid mountedPower: 270 hp and 210 lb.ft of torqueTransmission: Five-speed manual transaxleDrive type: Rear wheel driveExterior color: Berlina BlackInterior color: Black leatherCurrent bid: $33,750Auction end date: July 2, 2026Interested in this 1991 Acura NSX? View the listing here.1991 Acura NSXWhat makes the NSX uniqueThe first generation NSX is among the most significant sports cars of its era, the world's first mass produced car with an all aluminum body, developed with input from Formula One champion Ayrton Senna during its final development. It paired a mid mounted 3.0 liter VTEC V6 producing 270 hp with everyday usability and Honda reliability, a combination that fundamentally challenged the European establishment when it launched. This is an early 1991 build, the first model year, fitted with the sought after five speed manual rather than the automatic, and its transaxle serial number falls outside the range associated with the known early snap ring failure issue. Values for clean, original manual NA1 cars have risen substantially over the past decade, making low mileage examples increasingly collectible.1991 Acura NSXMy takeThe honesty of this listing is its strongest feature, and a 23,000-mile, early manual NSX with a clean Carfax and a candid seller is a fundamentally desirable car, even with the disclosed flaws. The current $33,750 bid is well below the roughly $82,000 NA1 average and the car's own $69,000 sale in 2020, so I would expect it to climb meaningfully and place fair value in the $60,000 to $75,000 range, accounting for the repaint, the non-working AC, the old tires, and the due timing belt service. A buyer should walk in budgeting several thousand dollars for the AC, fresh tires, and a timing belt and water pump job, which still leaves room for value if the hammer falls under that fair range.1991 Acura NSXAdvertisementAdvertisementDisclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only.
