I agree, 27k is a little high for 2011 base with 14K miles. Unless that's the OTD price with TTL included, then that's a great price.

Non aspirated, more reliable but a b1tch to turn into FI and modify.

Me I'm going to go FI on the Z and I'm noticing how much work I'm going to have to do. By the time I'm done I could have owned a used GTR. Lol. It just really depends on what you want, really. I know in the end, I will be happy with a turbo Z. You get moresatisfaction knowing you made something happen that was not part of the plan. A turbo 370z. Sounds like heaven to me. So I'm doing it. :)

Just a bit nit-picky, but its naturally aspirated instead of non. Non aspirated means it doesn't use air. :tiphat:

The sticker price was like 31,9 so if 27 isn't a good deal there is no point in getting it. Looks like I'm waiting for sports package.

I'm sorry to say it but honestly the 135i is like the fake BMW. I feel it's like I couldn't afford the 335i so got the cost effective one which is pretty ugly IMO. The lines are horrendous and looks like a box. That's how I feel. If you get that kind of car you have to do it right. Honestly Z and the 135i shouldn't be in the same sentence. Two complete opposites. If you want the BMW logo over the Nissan logo, I think that's why Z is overlooked for the BMW badge and status. All people driving an S-class or 7 series could've bought a GTR but probably didn't want to sport the Nissan badge at 100k. This is how it is I know many people who do this even in my family.

Unfortunately I have a lot of speed bumps in my area so I'm hoping they won't be an issue.

Just hit them at an angle and go slow! You'll be okay

Yeah, I went over many speed bumps at stock height and had no prob.

I will scrape my front chin spoiler on certain things (driveways that touch the road at a weird angle) and have bottomed out my undercarriage on crappy driveways.

The font chin spoiler (sport package) is made of flimsy rubbery material or thin plastic...it's not a big deal if it gets bent back or scrapes because it's black and you don't really see it..and it's quite flexible. The undercarriage...well... out of sight out of mind ;)

This is an older pic of my chin spoiler. It is more worn now.
