nismochiq · 03-08-2012, 03:05 PM

thinking about trading in my 09 for a '12. any thoughts?

TheOtherRob · 03-08-2012, 03:10 PM

Why? For the oil cooler?

Cmike2780 · 03-08-2012, 03:12 PM

Why? It's pretty much the same car except maybe the addition of an oil cooler.

nismochiq · 03-08-2012, 03:14 PM

a lot of defects that I don't have time to fix myself mainly.

No difference besides oil cooler . Save your money for mods

What do you mean defects?

nismochiq · 03-08-2012, 03:17 PM

I know its dumb just wanted someone to talk me out of it

I have a problem with buying the newer the better thanks

nismochiq · 03-08-2012, 03:19 PM

and I don't have a garage...which dampens my time fixing it

You may inherit a whole new set of problems or quirks with a different car, too.

The Nismo you have now, does it run well mechanically? Did you break the engine in from New? It's nice to know where the car has been.

nismochiq · 03-08-2012, 03:26 PM

true that is why I was thinking no and just getting a house with a garage. because I know my car very well. the engine is a 2010 engine, and everything else is fine mechanically, just little stuff I guess. I am an impulsive buyer lol I just wanted fellow gismo owners to be like hey stupid wtf are you doing

and thats what I got lol

Seems kind of trivial stuff that can be easily fixed. I think you'll end up loosing a lot of money if you trade in. I would try fixing the small stuff and get it out of the way. Fixing the hatch for example, means replacing those rubber things, if its the problem I'm thinking of. Replacing the harnest is pretty easy also. If you still think its worth it after fixing one or two things, trade it in if it gives you peace of mind.

no i understand its just I'm so busy, i was going to do it on my own, might as well try it right? thanks Ill see if its worth fixing first.

Steering wheel lock is one thing to think about. The '12 should have the new Rev D on it
