I felt the Nismo package was worth it for a few reasons:

I like uncommon cars, and while 370Zs are rare seeing someone with the Nismo setup is basically like seeing Bigfoot... The Nismo body kit also really enhances the look of the 370Z - in my humble opinion.

And I tend to just drive a car, stock, for a year or two after purchase to make sure I know what I want to get out of it and have a solid plan. The Nismo package is about 80% of what the average Joe eventually does to their base-model - so, for me, it's a time and effort savings before getting to the good stuff like forced induction.

Nismo definitely worth it as far as I'm concerned. You will rarely see one and in a few years when the Z car is no more, everyone will want one.

The recaro seats, the rear diff, the wheel package, springs, struts, sway bars, black front lights, steering wheel, chassis dampers, front strut bar, exhaust and slightly different interior are all Nismo specific. If you find value in at least three of these items, yes it's worth it

The 2010 Nismo the OP is looking at would not have had the Recaro seats. I believe those were a '15+ thing.

@OP, Big question you have to ask yourself is the body kit worth the extra coin. There are better aftermarket solutions for the suspension and exhaust making the body kit what you're really paying extra for. If you do go non-Nismo, just make sure you get one with the sport package as that will get you the bigger brakes, syncro-rev match, and the VLSD.

I would definitely go for the NISMO. Like everyone else said, they are quite a bit more rare which is kinda cool. the resale value will be better than a base and if your lazy like me most of the basic mods are done for you from Nissan and have a factory OEM fitment.

at that rate your car will have the same amount of miles as this 2010 Nismo when it reaches that age.... so you could say that your car has a lot of miles.
