Back to the original request.
I bought a Base/Sport 370 early 09. I'm a collector of Z's and I do drive my cars. So my purchases are long term. I keep the miles low and the cars like new. Over time you can get you money back and more. A lot of people mod their cars for no other reason but just to mod. It makes the car special for them. The NISMO for me is just that. It comes out of the box with the mod's installed. It's a collectors car. Special edition and with its own serial number. Long term you can't go wrong. I bought my NISMO for about what the MSRP was on the Base/Sport that they were selling for in early 09. But I did take a small hit when I switched to a NISMO. So if you have NISMO on the mind buy it first. If this car is going to be a daily driven car, and you're going to put a lot of miles on it and only keep it for a few years, don't buy it. That's the problem with nice cars today, they are a horrible investment short term. I'm of the mindset that you drive a beater car to work and save your good cars for pleasure driving. Now I am older guy and a young person can't see this yet but will some day. I understand sometimes you must drive to impress. A NISMO will impress. One other thing, no warranty issues, which you might have if you buy and mod a BASE/Sport.
