Toying with the idea of selling mine, wouldn’t normally look to change so quickly (after only a month since collection), a dream cars come up that I really want but don’t have the space for. Taking the GR86 on a trip at the end of this week to decide if it stays or goes, which will take the mileage up to around 5k. Which I suspect will mean if I want to sell it will have to be the cheapest on the market to shift it.

An NA1 NSX, always wanted one in purple and a targa. This would have been what I would have ordered from the factory if I could have!
I love the GR86, it’s a cracker of a car, but I can always come back to one of these later. Feel like the window on an NSX is closing, values have been increasing quite a lot for the last few years.

One of 12. Sensible mileage. Amazing colour. Great spec. Manual gearbox!
(I think we've all got our 'halo' cars (or at least many of us have) that - despite loving our GR86s - we'd be tempted by.)

I’m working on it! Just trying to make the man maths work.Absolutely make that happen!
You guys have largely persuaded me it’s the right option. I’m just trying to make it work, I wasn’t really anticipating losing what will likely be 4-5k on the GR86 in such a short space of time. But I think this opportunity is too good to pass up.
It is a lot of money, I sold my FK8 last week. I’d need to sell another car to free up the capital. Tbh it’s helping with the man maths a little bit, reducing the cars from 5 to 3 would make everything else more manageable, road tax, insurance, maintenance etc. but it would still be a stretch to have that much tied up in a single asset.

I concur with all previous posts, and I think you already know in your mind what to do. If it's been on your bucket list (dreadful phrase) then do it!
I looked at these many years ago and didn't have the finances but would certainly have taken the plunge, and purple, oh my. You would be mad not too.
It would appear that finances are not the issue (as a good many other GR 86 owners on here appear to project - me excluded) so as I said DO IT!
You are a long time dead.

Love the GR86 but those pop up headlights on the nsx are the best.The Japanese Car Import and Parts Specialists Since 2001

definitely don't make them how they used to due to safety regs.The headlights are indeed cool, and I love the colour. Just in terms of overall looks though, I think the GR86 is a better looking car.Love the GR86 but those pop up headlights on the nsx are the best.

So bit of an update. Not sure if this is the right thread but the prior comments are here!
Went down to have a look at the NSX, and decided that cars like this don’t come up often enough to pass it up. The downside being that I now need to find a new home for my GR86!

So I posted on the GR86 for sale thread about potentially selling my 7 week old GR86 for a dream car that had come available (spoilers from the thread title!) this was/is a Midnight Purple NA1 NSX.
I’ve messaged the admins so that the comments from the previous thread can be copied over here!

Collection day is finally here! Unfortunately I was away for work so my dad got to drive my GR86 down and then bring the NSX home.
Slightly down about seeing the 86 go so quickly, but after 5000 miles I think I got a good stint with the car. I’m sure I will be back in one again in the future!
But I’m looking forward to putting some mileage on this beauty!
