Saw on Prime that someone is getting your car. BTW, are those leatherseats.com seats? I like the black and tan two-tone. think that might be what I do when the time comes to reupholster.

400-600. Get one that has already been converted for US use. Canepa's 959's make over 600 hp, and have modern turbos instead of a sequential dated turbo system. They have been fully federalized with bumper, and door adjustments too.

Why do people love it?
It was the CGT of it's time. A technological wonder. A 997 Turbo is more advanced, and faster than original 959's, but isn't as special. Not the heritage. A good "cheap" supercar to get would be XJ220's

I like the XJ220

I wouldn't get insurance before you buy the car, because if it isn't what you expected your stuck with insurance on a car you didn't buy and you might have to pay the cancellation fee or whatever if you cancel the insurance even though you never bought the car


If it is a dealer they will not sell you the car without proof of insurance, MI or IN. I was under the presumption that he was prepared to buy, not just going to look.

Thanks guys

So it seems like this is what I have to do:
1- go to Michigan, hand over the cash, get the title from them in the presence of a notary
2- leave the car in Michigan, go to Ohio, get the new title in my name and pay sales tax and register plates.
3- get insurance
4- go back to Michigan, this time drive the car back to Ohio and get it inspected

Seems like an awful lot of driving and I wouldn't to pay them and leave the car with them, title or no title.
OR. In step 1, can I get temporary plates from the Michigan BMV, and drive the car to Indy?


A little correction...

1- Go to Michigan and hand over the cash, take the signed title and the car with you back to?? Ohio maybe? Have insurance before you purchase the car.
2- Take car to the DMV/BMV of the state you are going to register it in.
3- Register car, apply for title, pay tax and tag (make sure you have proof of insurance with you)
4- (when everything checks while you are sitting there) DMV gives you a license plate for the car, current tag for license plate and mails you your title in about 6 weeks.

Took me about 20 minutes at the Elkhart downtown branch when I registered the NSX, it had a Utah title. What took so long....me digging to find my DD-214 for Veteran Plates.....it was buried in my paperwork when I got there and took me a few minutes to find it in my military jacket (personnel folder).

Indiana you have to go to a police station and have the VIN check done and signed off on. This is only for cars that have an out of state title.


Actually they can do that at the BMV now, but you have to take the car with you when you register it. They just step outside, check the VIN and resume their paperwork.

I am selling an Alpine CDA-9811 CD/WMA/MP3 Head Unit, Alpine XM Tuner and Alpine 6-Disk CD/WMA/MP3 changer that I removed from my NSX. It is a great head unit and great system altogether. Everything was it working order when I removed it last week.

Question: If it is so great, why are you selling it?

Answer: Because it has green illumination, and I wanted something in red so I replaced it with a lesser quality Clarion DXZ275MP that I had purchased for my truck a couple of years ago and never installed. I put it in the NSX because it had red illumination.

Don't forget that every guy at Palmer's highschool would HATE him when he rolls up in the NSX and their girlfriends ask them why they are driving a Mustang instead of the NSX.

HEY....I had a Mustang in high school. Exactly like this...



Only mine was black. 1986 LX Notchback (coupe) with a 302 and 5-speed. Wish I would have kept it...there were only 6700 "LX 5.0" produced in 1986 as opposed to 51K Mustang GTs. So it was a fairly rare car (as far as Mustangs are concerned)....the 1st year of the LX 5.0 and last year of the four headlights.
