I got it monday for $29,000 its a 2010 base with Sport Package and 13,000 on the OD. traded in an 07 white bmw 328xi with 91,000 I was hoping to get some tips on taking care of it, like how long to let it warm up, and if i should avoid driving it in certain conditions. also is there a good way to find out exacly what kind of condition it is in? like should i take it to the nissan dealer and have them do an inspection or something? any idea on how much that would cost? also i want to get a nice aftermarket exhaust any reccomendations? thanks!

I usually won't romp on it until the oil temp gets to be around 180. If you have the tires that came with the sport package, don't even bother in the snow (a half inch of snow will get you stuck - the snow gets stuck in the treads and they become useless). In fact, even in very cold weather, you will find the traction to be lacking (skipping, etc. when turning) until they warm up.
I have an Ark exhaust with Berk High Flow Cats, which sounds awesome. There are a ton of options out there, though - people love the Fast Intentions exhaust.
With 13,000 on the clock, there's probably not a whole lot that can go wrong. It might be worthwhile to have a Nissan mechanic go over the whole thing - maybe when you get the exhaust installed (dealership will probably charge you an arm and a leg to install exhaust).
