The NA2 NSX is now firmly established as a modern classic, and low-mileage final-year cars sit at the very top of that market. With bidding already strong and more than a week to run, this is shaping up to be a significant sale.2005 Acura NSX-TBring a TrailerWhat it's worth right nowClassic.com shows the facelift NA2 NSX averaging around $156,188, and this exact 2005 NSX-T has 30 comps indicating a range of roughly $102,888 to $236,080. The broader NA2 market tops out much higher, with a recorded high of $370,000 for a 2002 NSX-T and a 2000 NSX-T reaching $262,500 in 2026, so the ceiling for the best cars is well into the mid-six figures.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe headline data point for a car like this is the auction record: Hagerty reported a 2005 NSX-T selling for $322,500 in December 2024, a figure well ahead of the price guide's concours value and a marker of just how far a preservation-grade final-year car can go. This car's combination of one owner, chassis 004, and 10,000 miles puts it in that rarefied, top-of-market conversation.2005 Acura NSX-TBring a TrailerGiven the specification and preservation, I would call fair value roughly $250,000 to $320,000, acknowledging that a truly exceptional final-year car with this provenance could challenge the record. The current $150,000 bid with nine days remaining is still early, and a comment on the listing floating a valuation above $200,000 looks, if anything, conservative for this example.Condition and detailsThe appeal here is preservation and provenance. This is a New Formula Red over Onyx NSX-T with the removable roof panel, 17-inch forged wheels, xenon headlights, and the serial number stamped into the stainless door sill plates. The seller identifies it as chassis 004 for the 2005 model year with one owner from new and 10,000 miles, and it comes with a window-sticker copy showing an $89,765 delivery price, the owner's manual, service records, and a clean Carfax. Commenters, several of them NSX owners, have called it possibly the cleanest example they have seen on the site.2005 Acura NSX-TBring a TrailerThe mechanical diligence on any low-mileage NSX centers on maintenance rather than wear. A bidder specifically asked whether the timing belt has been done, which is the key service item on these, so confirm the belt-and-water-pump history and the broader service record even at this mileage, since age matters as much as miles on the belt. The Yokohama tires carry 2023 and 2025 date codes, so they are relatively fresh, but verify overall condition. A question about original paint was also raised, so establish whether the car is fully original or has had any cosmetic attention.2005 Acura NSX-TBring a TrailerThe paperwork has one item to note. The Pennsylvania title is listed as a duplicate, which is common and usually benign but worth understanding, and the sale is a dealer consignment. On a car being bought at this level, a pre-purchase inspection by an NSX specialist and confirmation of the service history and originality are essential to protect the substantial premium a car like this commands.2005 Acura NSX-TBring a TrailerAdvertisementAdvertisementThe offerSpecificationDetailMakeAcuraModelNSX-T (NA2)Year2005Mileage10,000Engine3.2-liter DOHC VTEC V6Power290 horsepower, 224 lb-ftTransmissionSix-speed manual transaxleDrive typeRear-wheel driveExterior colorNew Formula RedInterior colorOnyxCurrent bidUSD $150,000Interested in this car? View the listing here.What makes the NSX-T uniqueThe NSX changed the supercar conversation when it arrived in 1990, proving that a mid-engine exotic could be reliable, usable, and livable every day without sacrificing the thrill. Developed with input from Ayrton Senna, it used an all-aluminum monocoque and a high-revving VTEC V6, and it forced Ferrari and Lamborghini to rethink what their cars needed to be. The NA2 cars, introduced for 1997 with a larger 3.2-liter V6 and a six-speed manual, and facelifted for 2002 with fixed headlights, represent the final and most developed evolution of the original, and 2005 was the last year before production ended.2005 Acura NSX-TBring a TrailerThat standing as the last of the analog, naturally aspirated, manual NSXs is exactly what the market rewards. Values have climbed steadily and then sharply, with final-year cars, low-mileage examples, and desirable colors leading the way, and the $322,500 auction record shows how far the very best can go. A one-owner, 10,000-mile, early-build 2005 NSX-T in New Formula Red is about as strong a hand as these cars are dealt, which is why it is being treated as a genuine blue-chip collectible rather than a used sports car.My takeThis is a special NSX, and the ingredients that this market prizes are all present: final year, chassis 004, one owner, a manual, 10,000 miles, and a striking color. My fair-value call is $250,000 to $320,000, with genuine potential to push toward the record if two determined bidders engage, and the current $150,000 bid looks like early money with a long way still to climb.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe buying advice is about protecting that premium. Confirm the timing-belt-and-water-pump service history despite the low mileage, verify the paint originality and the one-owner, chassis-004 provenance, and get a pre-purchase inspection from an NSX specialist. Understand the duplicate-title notation and confirm the records and window sticker convey. Handle those, and you are buying one of the most desirable final-year NSXs to come to market.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only. We are not a dealership or broker.
