but looking at the custom build options... 95000yen for someone to build it for you 
from the pics you took of the nsx, did it come partially assembled as shown, or did you already build it up to that point with just the shell needing paint?
as for building/not building it... i would say build it since it is not part of the numbered series, which means whatever you do it will not affect its value. | Haha she is married already
It came assembled like that which is a bit odd because I'd have to take it apart to paint it lol

I was surprised the vents even lift up
The white 640 is pretty hard to find, i only see one seller on ebay with it, there used to be a whole bunch of them
i wouldnt say its worth over 100, maybe 80 or so, but even then if i were you, cough up a bit more $$ n just get the autoart one

Big thanks to Toast for selling me his UT Porsche 993 Turbo arena red. Shipped it Monday the same day I paid and arrived safely today. Nicely packaged in styrofoam peanuts and wrapped in bubble wrap. All doors taped closed with masking tape. Perfect condition model and exactly what I wanted. The quality of the UT surpassed my expectations so I am happy!
He did a few modifications too it including: Red painted tail lights (North American style), chemical dipped front signals clear, raised hood badge, Tamiya painted grey interior to make it look less plastic.
Honourable mention to Thumper for teaching me about the different models available.
Here it is with my Burago F40 and Hot Wheels 993 GT2  | |

They're still fairly expensive. Last time I went like 2 months ago, an autoart r35 was around 149.99 and the autoart AE86 initial D release was like 219
