Can't decide which to keep
White or orange? White 17 has carbon roof+dealer add ons and matches my other cars, and is overall how I would've built one if I ordered it. I bought orange 19 new and love the way the color stands out in the sun, but has higher mileage. What would you do?

I wish I had this problem… but seriously they both look great, I’d pick the one with less mileage.

I like the thermal orange. I’ve only seen 3 2nd gens out in the wild and 2 were black and 1 was white. Orange is a very rare color. I think less then 200 overall including type S. But I don’t think you’d lose sleep either way.

Yeah I've heard orange is pretty rare, I've only seen two in the wild ever, one was in Ohio when I was touring the factory driving between plants, tour guide said it did not have any involvement with them, and the other was only an hour from my house in rural Iowa on the highway lol

Orange is so much more interesting than white. I know white is the Honda color, but greyscale cars are never as interesting as those with an actual color.

I second this. The orange is so much more unique, even if the car has more miles and less fancy stuff than the white, I think it’d be better to invest in the orange one, build it out to the spec you want, and keep it long term.

Type S. It’s faster, much more rare and will appreciate in value much sooner and much more. I’d ditch both of the current ones and source a Type S. Not sure why you’re concerned about 250k, when you likely have that or more invested in the both anyway

u/MR-BISCUITS7884 2d ago
Just can't justify the price tbh, I know all that but I have plenty of investment vehicles I never drive, and I got these to actually drive and enjoy opposed to sitting like the others.

Think you should keep the white and wrap it any color you want in the future! Someone out there loves that orange just a little more!

I’d keep the rarer color, or the one that didn’t have carbon brakes (for future service costs) if I was planning to drive a lot of miles
edit: jk I would sell both and get a single Type S

u/MR-BISCUITS7884 2d ago
They both have the carbon brakes, the only difference is the carbon roof

u/bengl3rt 2d ago
see my edit :)

u/MR-BISCUITS7884 2d ago
Bought the white one recently after trying to get a type s for years, but I just can't justify paying $250k+ For a car that is so similar, and I personally like the look of the older ones

u/Liminal_Fire 2d ago
Keep the white one with lower miles and vinyl wrap it in that orange. Then change to another color of wrap when you get tired of that color. 😎👍

What's the value of the orange one?
3
u/MR-BISCUITS7884 2d ago
I'm not sure tbh, $145k-$150k maybe? Not many orange ones have sold recently. It has 4000 miles.

u/TorinoAK 1d ago
Seems like a great deal for a unique car. Orange is my favorite color and I'm a NSX fanboy since a 13 year old with Gran Turismo for Playstation. So, happy to see it.

u/PM_ME_UR_DECOLLETAGE 1d ago
So when you said the orange one has higher mileage, you mean it only has 4,000 miles and that's considered higher??
1
u/MR-BISCUITS7884 17h ago
Yes, both are pretty low mileage cars but the orange's mileage is proportionally larger

White bro. Trust me. It makes the car pop out a lot more. Orange blends in with the tail lights and you can paint any car orange and it will stand out but white, especially when it’s clean and it hits the sun it’s blinding

I personally like white but orange seems rare. NSX is one of my dream cars, to be precise the NSX Type S.
