No, it was just an article about people in expensive cars parking where they like. Accompanied by a photo of his Fezza parked slap bang in the middle of the tiny traffic island outside Virgin Megastore outlined in double yellows.

Looking back it wasn't that exciting really !!

All I can say is that I was not too impressed by their service about 3 years ago when I first started looking at NSXs.

They had a yellow one for £ 27K

I went in their office and asked the salesman a few questions. He was uninterested. I was dressed properly and so was my wife. We drove in a nice clean Amazon. We were very polite and corteus to him. All he said was:

Car is P reg 58 thousand miles, just serviced a few months ago.

When I asked if I could have a look at the car. He said is open, just go have a look.

Anyway, the last time I saw the car is was covered in rain. Well this day it was a lovely Sunny and Breeze Cardiff day.

Well, the paint at the front looked a bit too new to me. Further inspection revealed that it was repaired in the passenger side of the front bumper and the repair was less than perfect.

The top area was Sun burned.

The brakes looked rusted solid.

The armrest was at a weird angle that looked as if it was broken.

There was what looked like and oil or some other fluid leak underneath the area where the drivetrain is.

To top it of it was locked.

I felt like going back in the office calling him a few names, but I restrained myself, thanked him and politely informed him that his car had been in a bump at some point.

He looked at me as if I was lying, and said that the car was clear.

I just replied, that it was fine but not for me and left.

I am glad we did as I found a better car elsewhere and then later on found the NSX-R.

Cheers,

AR

I think he fired that salesman,obviously due to his attitude with customers.Its called Pre Judjing.Glad you found the beast you did,I love nsx.Honda is the best product in my eyes,even their lawn mowers never break down!
