Is anyone from Kansas?

And you're looking for a really good deal on a 15+ manual nismo? Check the link:

According to the autocheck, it has a clean history and local one-owner. I'd snag this deal, but I'm too far away. It's priced a couple grand below KBB! Hopefully it checks out in person.

Unless, of course, anyone is willing to inspect it for me...

I'm going back and forth deciding whether I should fly out or not. If it's worth it or not...

Looks like a nice nismo with very low miles, plus the price looks good. Depending on your negotiating skill, it's still possible to get it lower.

Just for fun, I looked up airfares on one way trips on Kayak and Southwest. From BWI (don't know where you live in Maryland) to Witchita, cost was $188, but of course, this is date dependent. Pick it up in Hutchinson and enjoy the 1,200-1,300 mile road trip home. Sounds like fun to me.

Good luck on your Nismo quest

Haha I work right behind the BWI airport!

Ahh I was looking at the other main airport in Kansas which was 3.5 hrs away, so I said forget it. ICT is only about 50 min away, so that seems a lot better. You really have me thinking now.

I don't know if you really looked into the flights, but the logistics are terrible! They're expensive and not one is a direct flight. Average is about 10 hr flight. I'm willing to wait and fly out, but I suppose the Z will still have to be available.

I don't know why flights to and from Wichita is expensive considering it's the "air capital" in the state, and they've recently expanded the airport. Though, KC to Wichita is a 2.5 hour trip.

Yeah, I was thinking the same.

Another issue is the Z is basically out of warranty this year, so that's no bueno. Especially if the dreaded CSC failure occurs.

Probably something along the lines of that 5.0 Mustang they've got on the lot. Then again I'd question what Buick they have that the owner would trade the 5.0 Mustang in for as well.

Yeah, I didn't really look at flight times and total length of time it takes to get there. I just used July 18, one way on Kayak and Southwest.

Here's the links, basically 4-5 1/2 hours to get there for $188.

Good luck to you!

That link goes to a 2010 roadster with 78K+ miles. Run away....

They throw a salt brine down on the roads in Western KS. I'd be careful of anything but a very low mileage (summer only) toy car out of the Midwest.

Good to know. Thanks!
