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

She's referring to all the little quirks that Nissan had to work out of the first year models (2009). If you had read the thread, you would have seen a number of them listed in Post #24

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.

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
