First of all, sorry for your loss. He must have been a very good friend to leave you the car.

On to the NISMO. If left stock it should hold value a little better than a regular 370, but it's not a car that's going to appreciate in value if that's what you're asking.

What are you planning on doing with it? Selling or keeping/modding?

My condolences.
I doubt any of our beloved Z cars will be worth more than they are today.
My advice: Sell it to someone who will appreciate it. Perhaps you could buy a muscle car in memory of your buddy.

I agree with the above. Only one caveat, the car could be worth more if no more miles were put on it and is keep in pristine for about twenty years, then it could be worth more. Not worth it in my opinion. Extremely sorry for your lost, and the loss of a fellow Z lover. Was he a member of this board?

the Nismo is simply a "racing" equipped version of the 370z. it has about 8% more hp and is much lighter (supposedly) than the regular 370z because it doesn't have all the add-on's.

it is a little rarer than the regular 370z because it costs a bit more yet has less options. Most people like the Nismo because it has a more desired body kit and wing.
