Dilemma...

USMCASA · 02-15-2010, 06:20 PM

so i've had my car about 3 months, its a 2009 chicane yellow that i got brand new at the end of november. i've got someone where i work at that absolutely loves my car, especially the color which is the whole reason i got the one i got. she wants to buy my car, for what i owe on it and asked if i can't just get another(which i can't in yellow) and i've found a nismo for 2k more than what i paid for my car. should i do it?

No way to judge without pics of the girl.

depends on how much you owe on it... If you only have to pay 2K out of pocket to get a nismo, I say go for it (if you like the nismo that is).

i will only be spending 2k more out of pocket. i think i'm gonna run up to the dealer to go check the nismo out tomorrow.

depends what you wanna do, the nismo is stiffer, ride quality will suffer, and if you plan to mod the car, kinda pointless, but if you want the nismo for the sake of having a nismo, go for it.

I'd keep my CY 6MT. If you have the touring and sport options, it's even more of a no brainer. The Nismo isn't very special IMHO...and there are lots of opinionated threads that further support that statement.

Red370 · 02-15-2010, 07:55 PM

i'd say the main reason is, for a car purpose built for the track, the gains dont warrant the additional costs, the performance is practically even with the standard model.

wow. you guys really like the 370z.

if it were me, and i decided to sell the car, i would get something else
