That's a cool car, but 20K plus or whatever it ends up going for is more than I could justify spending on a 944, no matter how nice.

I like the black out trim treatment.

I blacked out the front grills on mine, but left the rest of the trim alone.

This one does look sharp

So. Much. Want.

I'd have trouble going over $20k for one, yeah, but mostly because I'd probably drive this a lot and make it much unnicer than $20k in short order.

Sunroof would not be a deal breaker for the slot this kind of car would fill.

I knew this NSX bidding would get up there. I bet it finishes in the 80's.

One hour left.

I've said it before and I'll say it again--I've never driven an NSX, so I don't know the answer, but how is an NSX better than (e.g.) a 987.2 Boxster? Which can be had for less than half this cost? Which you can drive all the time?

At this point, are people paying 80K to park a late model NSX in a bubble for future collectors?

It's at 18 now so his estimate looks close.

I wouldn't pay that price, but I know these cars have a loyal following and this is a very nice example.
