Definitely worth the 3k, tracking or not.

I don't Track mine for now. But to experience the SyncroRev Technology plus extra handsome looks (the Z) is worth the extra bucks.
hey but that is me.

I usually try and buy cars with options based on resale for buyers wanting to purchase cars with creature features. I will most likely never track my car. This SP option was a no brainer for a sports car in my mind. Someone might purchase it from me and want to track it someday.

I passed on the heated leather seats, Bose radio, blue tooth etc. for myself. I felt those things were not necessary for myself and the possible future buyer. A new car version of old school car that comes stripped except for performance features.

I plan on getting an automatic, so the only thing I'd be losing out (for me personally) are the rims.

Neighbor,

Shop around. I mean really shop around. I tried buying my car locally and gave up because of dealerships final sales price being offered. We had some free airline tickets so we burned one to Chicago. Got my 2011 w SP for 30904out the door. Also, If you decide on a factory extended warranty try online with Nissan of Santa Rosa CA. Best price here 1495 up to 1895 for 5yr 75000mile Nissan Gold Prefered coverage. Online with Santa Rosa CA 799 for same exact factory warranty.

You raise a really good point, it didn't even occur to me in terms of resale value how nice it is to have the factory sport package. When I purchased my Z, I had every intention on keeping it forever; I still do. But who knows what will happen 7-10 years down the line, I may change my mind.
