But how much does it REALLY cost....

If you're looking to do heavy mods, you shouldn't be looking for a new car and expecially not a 370Z. After you buy it and start modifying it, you lost the warranty, you lost about 20% of it's value. Depending on the trim you purchased, you might have just thrown 5-10k into fire. After you finish your 10-15k worth of mods, your car will loose about 40% of the value and the value of the mods. You could potentially throw away 35k by the end. Buy a used 350Z with warranty about to expire.

Each dealership has some say in this but, you name the mod and I'll tell you why they will tell you it voids the warranty. Their goal is to void your warranty unless you have some pull with people. Intake, exhaust, ecu, pretty much anything.

Is it not true that Nissan headquarters will not come there personally and check whether the car is modded and by how much? Since nobody verifies behind you, why would you still deny warranty work? Since I know nissan dealership owners on a first name basis, I could ask them, but since you are here, why don't you tell us? Why do you deny warranty work on modded cars (the question is not if you do, we know you do) if you're making money of off it. Could you be also making money of off the number of people you deny warranty repairs for?
