    I wouldn't do it. I traded my R8 V10 for an NSX and wish I had kept the R8. No way I would give up my 430 for an NSX. Maybe because my R8 and 430 was/is a convertible.
    Don't get me wrong....it's a great car....very fast super high tech but it just doesn't do it for me personally.

    Drive the other day and came up on a flock of pheasants. Not real common for Maryland, but I see them around this area. Went to Quiet mode / EV and drove up on them silently. Pretty cool and beautiful birds.

    Few minutes later launch control and those magical downshift. Crazy. Much more digital / high tech than the F430 being discussed. I chose digital / high tech supercar and not looking back.

    The dealership is Napleton's Palm Beach, after a closer look I see why one is more expensive.

    Any ideas what they lease for these days and the kind of mileage allowed?

    No idea about leases right now but you can pick a mileage allowance. I went with 5K per year. Even if you go over, excess mileage is cheap...10 cents per mile!

    The nearest one to me is a white one at Porsche of the Main Line, they know me well there so maybe they will let me drive it even if they know I probably will not buy it. I have 3 white cars now, and 3 silver/grey cars, 2 reds 2 dark blues would really like to get a blue (i like that color blue) one. Seems they all have the technology package, seems certain wheels come with carbon fiber rear spoiler, and outside of carbon fiber bits ( I am way past the CF stage), anything else important to have. I tend to move quickly, I do want to drive one again first though.

    I like the full leather seats. Others like the alcantera inserts. Your choice. The spoiler is a separate option from the wheels. CCBs and painted calipers look and work great. Steel brakes work fine too. Mine has most of the carbon and no spoiler. I’ve seen lots of different combos with carbon. Some don’t have the tech package - look for the sat receiver on the roof. I wanted it for sat radio. Good option to combine with other streaming services and Apple CarPlay.

    Given your lineup I think a test drive won't be a problem.

    Sat Radio nice to have, but I'm too cheap to pay for it regularly. I use Spotify instead. I have leather and alcantara, I like the alcantara. Also have the interior CF package but it's only two pieces. I could live without that. Also have CF spoiler. I'd probably have taken the care in base trim without anything fancy but I got a better deal this way buying the car on the showroom so that's how I did it. Aren't any 'must haves' as there is no option for lift kit or folding mirrors.

    Waiting for weather to improve so you can do another 'photo car trip'... more interesting than the car itself, IMO. :)

    Sat radio was nice when out west where cell coverage was spotty. With so many other options for music it’s not a must have when close to civilization. Not sure if I’ll renew.

    I definitely agree. That was such a fun road trip. Timing will be interesting this year. We’re supposed to go to Italy in July so depending on timing and what we end up doing (cost), we may have to skip the road trip this year. Weather out there makes timing tight.

    I do like the carbon engine cover and roof. The rest I could live without. CCBs add a nice touch.

    One reviewer on utube was critical of 130R White. He asked why Acura put random numbers and a letter before the white...?
    I quizzed NSX specific sales people/managers when looking and most had no clue. Sad.

    LOL!

    When we had the sales training on it, the source of the names was not mentioned at all. So, I guess it helps to have been a lifelong F1 fan.

    Mine has the parking sensors (comes with the upgraded hifi and nav). I would recommend that option. I also got the upgraded brakes, alcantara headliner and electric seats.

    I too like the full leather seats, I have alcantera inserts on my AMG GTS and one of my 911's. I have found two whites cars and the blue one, one of the white cars in pretty loaded. That does not include the white one near me, which is priced around 12K too high. The prices though seem to vary considerably which I find odd since there are not many for sale and it should be pretty easy for dealers to see what they are priced. One car 122K with lots of options, another 25K more with less options mileage close.

    You have to use their pics to figure out most of the options. What I found when looking. Even when talking to them it wasn’t easy. Copy of the sticker is best.

    You may wish to spend a few moments reviewing these threads from NSXPrime concerning possibly doing business with that P B, FL, Acura dealership.
