Bad part... Front plate frame is drilled into bumper cover. Not thrilled about that AT ALL.

The paint is also pretty poor for only 3,300 miles. As in, they took it to an auto car wash or a do-it-yourself-with-a-mud-tire-brush car wash. The swirl marks are horrendous. It'd require an $800 minimum paint restoration job to get it back to showroom condition. That is what I would expect. Anyway...

Took it out for a drive. Drove like a Nismo should. Tires are in damn near new condition. No other real issues to note. The gas cover seemed to be offset slightly as it sat out a bit and wasn't entirely flush.

Given all that, what would you offer? I was thinking of offering no more than $34,000 or trying to give an OTD price of somewhere around $35,700. Any ideas of what to shoot for? Also, they have a 2013 MB Sport/Touring 7AT on the lot. Kinda wanted to get away from the 7AT but damn does the '13 look good. Not sure.

Any ideas? Nismo haters and lovers, please chime in. I need a reality check. Thanks so much for your feedback. And it is either this or I wait a year and buy a '12/'13 Porsche Boxster S. hhmmmmmm!!!!
