Hey guys,

Think this might be one if not my first thread I have started and hate to say it - it's another 'What do you guys think I should do LOL' but here is the deal. I currently have a silver 2011 370z touring/sport with 73k miles on it. Long story short (too late) I bought this car with 59k on the odo rather quickly bc of the following:
1. good price at the time
2. didn't know if i was going to like it enough to want to keep it - the only promise i made to myself was that i would keep it a year.

After owning it for the last 9mo, I have put around 14k miles on it - it is my DD. And I have to admit, it's a great car, no doubt about it. So that brings me to my question:

- I am thinking that maybe I should look to trade in my current ride (as it stands I wouldn't be upside down on it but I wouldn't get anything after the lien was paid off) to get a lower mileage vehicle. I have found a 2014 online with only 17k miles and it's the same setup - touring/sport. It looks nice and I know it will be the same exact vehicle inside and out - except for the front bumper; but they are asking for $26k - thinking I can probably get them down a little bit more but...would you do it?

When I do the math of the following - I come up with a $10k difference for gaining about 55k miles back. So I guess my 2nd question other than would you do it would be - are you guys worried about high mileage vehicles - it's not that I don't think this car can go 100k miles but I do think, 'man, if I'm going to mod it - would I want to mod a vehicle with this many miles?'

I know Nissans are good cars - heck MOST cars easily can push 150k miles as long as you take care of them but was wondering - is it worth modding a vehicle that will have so many miles? Anyways - all comments are welcome.
