To buy nismo or not

JC-Nismo · 12-14-2014, 03:04 PM

Get what you want because there are so many opinionated responses and most of them are based on what they have chosen for themselves and deem better. I personally chose my Nismo because I have to drive the performance model and can't see myself in anything else. I've had M3's and currently own a SRT8 along with my Nismo and wouldn't look at the base model of any of these cars twice, but that's just my preference. Another reason is that, I'm not a mod crazy guy, I like to do suspension, wheels and basic performance mods. Now I will admit that the Nismo is under powered compared to that of my other two cars, but the looks well more than enough covers that lack of for me. Overall, you can't lose either way.......................

Someone please verify this for me but the odometer reading is the top number on the mph side correct? And the bottom number for TRIP? Trying to sort out some conflicting info with a dealer. Ad says 7460 miles, picture shows 7466 miles but the carfax/autocheck says 14756 miles. Vin matches from the ad to the carfax but I haven't got an actual picture of the vin on the car yet.

That's correct, the mileage Is on top.

Finally got the VIN off the car and its the same and car really only has 7466 miles. Someone messed up when updating the vehicle with DMV. Anyone know what would happen when if I was to purchase the car and then the mileage looks like it went down?

Carfax isn't always accurate when it comes to mileage. When I bought my 350z way back when, Carfax showed it had 15k miles one month, then a few months later it had been sold and only had 12k miles. There was a note saying that mileage inaccuracies are common, a lot of times someone at DOL will type in the wrong number, ect. Not a big deal.

Patience. Find a '12 at a great deal. They come without the steering lock issue, interior filter and a special oil cooler. Lol. But it's true though.

Found a CPO '12 touring sport 6mt w/o nav for $26.9k. Seem like a decent price? Has 14k miles.
