Second point, to me, the buyer of this car is someone who is purchasing an NSX as a track build, or he/she really wants a car they can just drive without caring too much.
If it was your first NSX, I think it'd be better to wait for the one you really want.. but if it's a second NSX as a DD or something, it would be perfect.

No i havent seen the inside of the transmission of the NSX yet as I am still looking to purchase my very first. But I like to do extensive research first to see if i can handle it. In my understanding its not the snap ring itself that's the problem but the groove on the transmission housing is to wide.
Your right at this point if the car is indeed in that snap ring range at 350k km I doubt its valid problem anymore.
In the beginning I was discouraged that it might not be a DIY friendly this car.
My main concern was the need of car hoist to pull the motor out blah blah blah
but when i saw this i was dead set on getting one
Im a diy type a guy and love doing a project, to be honest Id prefer a car that needs work knowing me I like do all maintenance my self for my benefit.
