Which 370z to buy help needed

I am sympathetic to the aversion to modding, speaking from experience. It's fine if modding your car is a hobby that you enjoy, but if you don't truly enjoy auto mechanics, it's a pretty certain pathway to at least some level of frustration. Additionally, in this case, we're talking about a used 2010 vs a new 2017. I agree that in those 7 years there have been no major changes but there have been a lot of little tweaks that have added some level of convenience and some level of increased reliability. I've seen that in the difference between my 2011 and my 2014. Additionally, you'll be driving a 7 year old car. Things are going to break with increasing frequency on any car that old. You'll not only have the cost of modding, you'll have the cost of repairs.

We are getting to the end-of-life of the Z34 platform. If there is going to be a Z35, you will shortly find your new Nismo with a major depreciation hit, one that you won't have with a 2010. If there's no Z35, that depreciation won't be that big a deal. Even so, if you plan to keep the car for awhile, say 3-5 years....buy the 2017.
