This YouTuber bought the cheapest Honda NSX (also known as Acura NSX) in America for just $30,000.
He then spent a significant chunk of money to customize it, and now it’s worth a lot more.
It was a great investment, but he didn’t set out to make money off of it.
He just wanted the best possible Honda NSX on his budget.

What you get when you buy the cheapest Honda NSX
The Honda NSX isn’t cheap to buy, in America or anywhere else, because collectors love it.
With that in mind, $30,000 for a used one is a great deal, even though this car was in awful shape.
TJ Hunt, real name Thomas Hunt, bought the cheapest Honda NSX and spent a lot of time, and money, making it even better.
There was a lot needed doing, with bits missing, including the entire front end.
The paint was ruined, the interior was also in bad shape, and the exterior was also in terrible condition.
TJ installed side skirts, hood, and rear bumper.
A lot of work was also needed under the surface, with new coilovers and new wiring.
He ended up spending $49,200, which means the NSX cost him a grand total of $79,200.
It wasn’t cheap, but it’s now worth north of $100,000.
Why the NSX is so coveted
Originally marketed as Honda NSX pretty much everywhere apart from the U.S., where it was sold as Acura NSX, this is one of the most coveted Japanese cars in the market.
The reason is quite simple, and it is the fact that the Acura NSX gives you Ferrari performance for muscle car money.
That’s how it was designed.
It wasn’t a limited-edition model, but it became quite rare, partly because so many end up abandoned in the woods, with mice living inside them, or even underwater.
Honda brought it back in its modern iteration (above), and now the long-awaited successor should arrive within two years, but it’ll be electric.
So the value of the old, ‘original’ one can only go up.
