100% agree! Especially for how much they are now going for, for a decent example (forget pristine, those are beyond ridiculous). I get the whole "driving experience" tagline (trust me I do), but there are cars out there that will give a rather similar experience for about the same dollar value (or less depending on which MY NSX one wants) and are much newer.
I mean, at the end of the day, would you really pay close to $200,000 for a early 2000s NSX with mileage around 20K? There are a WHOLE LOT of cars one can buy for that price. Even NA1s from the early 90s are in the upper $70k for high mileage and over $100k for decent miles. I love the look, but wouldn't pay that for one. There are other cars out there for that kind of money.
Mostly everything now that you could call a "collectible" has reached an absurd value. Just look at these cars. They're not even the super limited edition runs. I think you could argue that for the price of all these same cars, you could find better performing cars for an even cheaper price.
Integra Type-R for $112k

Mazda RX-7 for $137k

Nissan 300ZX for $95k

Supra TT Targa 6-speed for $126k

Similar to many of the muscle cars of the 60s. These cars like the NSX have begun to move into the "classic" category now and many people are scooping them up as a form of nostalgia. The 90s will be remembered as legendary when JDMs could take on the best of the world, including the big guns from Italy, Germany, and Britain. As manuals go away and we move further into eletrification, you're only going to see the prices creep up more.
