The Acura NSX NC1, produced between 2016 and 2022, is a modern emblem of Japanese performance engineering. This second-generation supercar combines a 3.5L twin-turbocharged JNC1 V6 engine with electric motors, delivering remarkable power while showcasing Acura's dedication to sustainable performance. In Wyoming, your NSX can be more than just a sports coupe; it can serve a noble cause through a donation to Wheels for Wishes, helping to grant wishes for children in need.
As a current collector-tier vehicle, the NSX NC1 is prized for its rarity, with only around 2,900 units sold in the U.S. during its production run. The comeback of the NSX after the original ended in 2005 is a testament to Acura's innovation and craftsmanship. Whether your vehicle is a low-mileage example or a Type S halo edition, donating it offers both a meaningful contribution to the community and potential tax benefits. Join us in celebrating this remarkable automotive legacy.
📖Generation guide

Known issues by generation
The NSX NC1, while generally reliable, has specific model-related considerations. The JNC1 twin-turbo V6 and hybrid system are built for performance but require specialist knowledge for maintenance. The 9-speed DCT may exhibit clutch-pack wear at high mileage, and proper valve-body service can cost between $4,000 to $8,000. Additionally, the lithium-ion hybrid battery pack may need servicing within its critical 8-10 year window, which can range from $8,000 to $15,000 at authorized Acura dealers. Keeping detailed service records from qualified specialists is essential for maintaining the vehicle's performance integrity.
Donation value by condition + generation
The Acura NSX NC1 holds significant value as a current-collector car, with clean low-mileage examples ranging from $80,000 to $120,000 and Type S models commanding even higher prices, often between $150,000 and $200,000. Documentation is vital for collectors, including original paint verification, service history, and any enhancements like carbon-ceramic brakes. The collector market emphasizes the importance of condition and maintenance history, making preventive upkeep essential. A qualified appraisal is recommended to accurately reflect the vehicle’s worth, particularly for models that easily cross the $5,000 threshold.
Donation process for this model
Donating your Acura NSX NC1 involves several steps to ensure a smooth transition and maximum tax benefits. We highly recommend obtaining a qualified appraisal, particularly for vehicles valued over $5,000, as IRS Form 8283 Section B will apply. It’s essential to include original paint documentation, detailed service records, and any authentication related to the Takumi hand-assembled engine. For pristine low-mile examples, consider enclosed transport for safety during transfer. Our team is here to assist you through the entire donation process.
Wyoming regional notes
In Wyoming, NSX NC1 owners benefit from a relatively distinct dealer network, including specialized Acura services. The Performance Manufacturing Center support, while limited, is critical for ensuring your NSX receives proper care. Additionally, owners should consider the preservation of their vehicles in relation to the state's environmental factors. While Wyoming's dry climate can be beneficial for vehicle maintenance, it contrasts with salt-belt states that can accelerate deterioration. Ensuring regular preventive maintenance is essential for retaining the NSX's value.
