NSX FAQ

Salvage List

This is a USER MAINTAINED listing of salvaged / totaled NSXs. It is to be used to help prevent vehicles from being misrepresented for sale to unsuspecting buyers or for current owners to help learn more about their NSX’s past. Caution must be taken when using this list as for obvious reasons there is no way to ensure that ALL NSXs that should be on this list ARE on this list. If you know of an NSX that should be on this list, please add it! This list is only as good as the information that is added!
VINs are sorted by YEAR and then ordered by the serial number (last 6 digits) so that the list can be easily used. To add a new vehicle, click the EDIT button to the right of the YEAR you are adding. If you are unsure of the year, use the “Decoding an NSX Vin” section of the wiki (http://www.nsxprime.com/wiki/Decoding_an_NSX_VIN#NSX_VINs_.28US_market.29). To verify if the VIN is actually valid, you can use the VIN decoder that was created by Prime user Ojas here: http://ojas.net/nsx/vin. Insert the VIN and any information you have about the vehicle where it fits by serial number. For vehicles that were not originally shipped to the USA there is a section at the bottom of the page for “International NSXs” where you can input the VIN and any information you have about it. Note that an ‘8’ as the high order digit of the 6 digit serial number means it was sold in Canada.

  • JH4NA1157PT000295 I looked at this NSX today and it seemed to be sound, but the VIN numbers had been removed and there was a state of Florida VIN attached. The owner told me that she understood that his car had been stolen and stripped. I guess that the insurance paid off the original owner and a new title was issued. then the car went to an owner in Louisiana before returning to the current owner in Tampa FL. [TCR – 2001/5/30]

  • JH4NA2160VT000019 Blue/Black ’97 6-speed NSX-T. Rear-ended hard on the street and rebuilt by Acura. The repair involved cutting the back end off and welding a new one on. It was then sold at auction in the southwest US around the end of May 1998 and has changed hands through several wholesalers and independent dealers since. At least two dealers have been representing this car as “mint condition” and “flawless.” It is possible they do not know it’s real history because no salvage title was ever issued. Hence, a CarFax or similar title history search comes back clean! One wheel was also curbed at some point and possibly refinished. For sale at various third party dealers in the Phoenix, AZ area in early ’99 with around 14,000 miles for $62,000. Asking price then went UP to the upper 60s. Car was eventually sold to someone in Chicago in mid ’99 . [LE, A/H].
