Dumb question number 5
 

If you do not race and just a normal driver who occasionally hits 120 mph on wide safe highways, and you a looking for a cool looking car, love the looks of a 370z,

1. Why pay for a Nismo?
2. Why buy a 2014 when a 2010 looks the same anyway? I doubt the average person could tell the difference.
3. Would not a touring model with 40k mikes from 2010-2013 be a less expensive and better option than a 2014 base middle?

2012 and up I believe have the stock oil cooler you will surely need unless u wanna add one. Also the newer Z's have had less oil burning issues. The only other reason to go newer is a back up camera came with nav package which I personally couldn't imagine not having in my Z.

1. Because the driver just has to have the body kit. Of course, with the 2015 Nismos, there are finally a few things added on that justify the price.

2. Because the driver wants an unmolested, clean, low miles car.

3. Probably, but still, some people do not want to start with someone else's 40k toy.

I'm sure I could have found an earlier model of my car for less money, but I had other reasons to seek out a newer revision. Do I regret it, not at all.

I missed out on question #4.

Because I can.

If you look around hard enough you can find little gems like mine. '09 Touring w/sport, got her with 14k on the odometer and right about 20k on the price tag. clean and pretty much brand new. still has the new leather smell. so to answer the question, if you're not looking to pay 40k on a new one, look around long and hard for an 09/10 with low miles. you'll find some good deals out there i think.

honestly as far as the nismo goes, i'd rather pick my own body kit and do all the little mods myself.

i dont think the 10k price increase for a nismo is worth it, in my opinion.

:wtf2:

Is it possible we could be just doing odd number "dumb questions" in this universe.

:icon17:

that's still waaay too many. :mad:

who if caught will occasionally go to jail for manslaughter.

0. Keep that $hit on the track please :tiphat:
1. Body kit... as mentioned, the 2015 has other reasons as well.
2. They don't look the same. I don't care if anyone else notices; I notice.
3. Sports cars tend to get abused by people that don't take care of them. I almost bought a used 2009 with low miles, but ended up much happier with a new 2011.

If you love the nismo kit get a nismo. It's more expensive to convert it properly than just buy one

Do not be afraid of used. Plenty of well maintained Zs even on this forum.

Nav/camera is ovverated with all the aftermarket options available. So unless you love leather , it's not worth the premium. I would go with the sport package tho. I ended up getting a monster deal on a low mileage 2011 base, so I'll upgrade the brakes at some point

1. You want a NISMO
2. They don't look the same
3. Maybe

If you want the NISMO and you can afford it, buy the NISMO, otherwise, buy something else.

If you want the extra creature comforts, go for the Touring, otherwise don't.

Personally, I wouldn't buy a used sports car, but maybe you would.

I just picked my 2012 Nismo up for 29k with 19,400 mile on it. I like to buy a car 1-2 years old still within the factory warranty for a heck of price reduction. To each his own. New Nismo's are nice, but I won't pay that price for them.
