Ive had my '11 nismo for 3 months now and its my dd. Had my car shipped to me from seattle, had 8k miles on it and i managed to talk them down to 30.5k with warranty n all. I love the car! Car handles extremely well, theres tons of mods out and some are still coming out. You should check the classifieds here in the forums. Theres alot of good deals and most of them already have mods installed which will save u time and money for installation. The '09s and'10s had that steering lock problem....its a simple fix but if it makes u more comfortable go with 11 n up. Theres a couple '11s in the classifieds pretty well priced. Good luck with the search!!
