With recent carfax and thorough PPI I would consider it. Buy smart and sell smart. At least it is isn't a branded title. I would bet in another 10 years no one will care about the mileage. I nearly bought a Victoria 964 manual c2 coupe with 365kms last year. PPI showed it needed everything but a clutch. Rust, 2 accidents etc. Could have been had for $15k CDN. Max I would pay was $13k.
As for the CDN/USD issue I think they are just letting US buyers know that the car can be had for just $21k USD instead of listing in CDN only and letting US buyers do their own conversion. I suspect we will see high demand cars be listed at higher values and/or in USD for the US market.
US buyers can suddenly buy really high demand/collector Canadian cars such as GT2/GT3, 964/993, NSX, E30 M3 etc for a lower price than in the US. Hence Canadian sellers can raise their price to what may seem high to a Canadian buyer, but is still a deal for a US buyer.
The hard part for the US buyer is finding one of these cars in Canada that doesn't have stories.

At 26k that needs work its a steep price clutch parts alone is gonna be 2k plus labor. Then on the ad it says the timing belt water pump was replace at 190k but according to the autocheck the car was imported from las vegas last year at 209k miles. Unless he has the paper work of that work done if it was me I would look into replacing those as well (that's another 700-800$for parts plus the labor).
Now let me go back to my first post, do you think it would be worth it to spend all these money on a 350k km motor?
Mine as well rebuilt that thing! or swap with a low km motor.
Also there is a known problem in the 91 nsx transmission(snap ring range) we dont know if this car is affected by it .
As for the usd/cad thing If the dollar was on par right now do you think he would post the price for 26k USD
Yah i agree and Im not blaming the buyer for catering more to the US buyer really Im sure in the US this is a sweet deal but not to Canadians .lol

Exactly my point when I said locally its pretty limited peeps who would consider it.
I doubt a regular buyer(whose just looking to drive and go) would even consider it after seeing the KM.
But I can really see someone who is very into the NSX and would love to do work on it man the body is really clean for its age!
