Jumping into this argument; some people sell their nismos because they didn't do enough research to realize that the harshness, manual transmission in bad traffic, louder noise in nismos would be some they couldn't tolerate over the long run. Other reasons could be purely monetary or change in family situation I guess.

Spearfish, no hate but you are dead wrong about your statement. Most on this forum are willing to pay premium money for the upgraded Nismo rims, brakes, suspension, beautiful body kit, Nismo CBE, badging... all of which if you were to add to a base or touring would set you pretty close or above the Nismo pricing. It always amaze me the number of members with non-nismo trims longing for the nismo upgrades yet turning around and hating on the forum nismos peers It's all Zs the Nismos just look so darn better unless you want to spend another 5k just on the body kit

Forum member Jordo made some great posts about how non-nismo trims need to add CBE, TP, tune (thus more money over the nismo upgrades) just to catch up to bone stock nismos. You do the math once the Nismo also get the same CBE, TP, tune... No Nav, heated seats, bose speakers are features that can be taken care of for a very marginal cost.

I like the 370z touring but I love the nismo, on numerous occasions, random people gave the thumbs up to the nismo over the non-nismo. By now I'm sure most nismo owners are used to all the stares/flirting at stop lights and at chauffered mercedes execs, porsches, audis & bmws chasing us around just to figure what the make and model of the car is
