Premiums compare the median price of sales with each option against comparable sales without it, mined from verified auction listings. Prices are adjusted to the model's median mileage before comparing. Sales are pooled across markets on a relative-price basis, so exchange rates and market levels can't skew the split. Options interact in ways a one-at-a-time split can’t capture — treat each premium as directional rather than gospel.

Marque analyst note

The Honda NSX NA1 has reached a median of $105,000 in the US market, reflecting an 11 percent year-over-year increase and positioning the model as a clear appreciating classic. Price momentum remains constructive, though the signal leans toward a hold posture rather than aggressive accumulation at current levels.

Transaction activity remains moderate, with 19 sales tracked over the past twelve months against a total dataset of 29 recorded sales. This relatively modest sample size suggests liquidity constraints for buyers seeking quick execution, though the collector base for the NA1 remains engaged and active.

The NA1's production footprint of 18,734 units establishes it as a reasonably accessible collectible, yet scarcity within specific configurations—particularly low-mileage examples or desirable color combinations—continues to drive desirability and sustained interest. The model's classification as collectible reflects its engineering significance and steadily consolidating collector following.

Cars transacting in the current market average 54,050 miles, indicating a demographic of driven but not heavily used examples. This mileage norm suggests that most NA1s entering the secondary market have seen regular use rather than garage-queen status, a factor that appeals to buyers seeking usable vintage Japanese sports cars.

The three-year projection targets $115,007, or roughly 9.5 percent appreciation from current levels, with the five-year case reaching $118,428—a cumulative gain of 12.8 percent. These forecasts assume continued collector-market interest and stable macroeconomic conditions, without requiring exceptional supply or demand shifts to materialize.
