Trying to buy a NISMO. How much can you go down on the posted price?

Any dealership will give you the rare car song and dance to try to avoid negotiating, but they're not THAT rare so don't be fooled.

Also you're not that far from me, so don't buy a black one.

You're in MD, where I used to live.
I live in FL.
Why not a black one?
I'm looking for a white one 2 tone actually.
It seems it'll be impossible under $23k

Changed it.
Thanks!

how about the sport model, bigger brakes, LSD, much cheaper....doesn't have the bling factor....I put a used Nismo CB on my sport and couldn't be happier.

if I had to do it again I might go touring for the leather/heated seats but in N. Ca. the winters are short..

Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm still not sure, but the biggest factor is the suspension.

Nismo's has the most acceptably stiff to me.
I want to drift with it, so the stiffer the better.
and I won't be able to make big upgrades until Q1 2017.
so I'm stuck with whatever I get till then.

Thanks so much for the help though. I'm not 100% on it.
I've seen a nismo 2014 for $23k which I can get.

But I've seen modded sport versions for 16-18k which isn't bad either.

I like the shape of the nismo and don't like the squared shape of the other ones though.

Cheers

you're gonna want more than just stiffer suspension to get going with drifting...
