nismos are a huge waste of money unless you plan on never doing any mods of your own. just get a sport and save lots of money!

tl;dr

Get a new 2012 sport package. Upgraded brakes, RAYS, synchro rm on manual, and a couple other things. Save thousands, use thousands to mod car for more power.

There's just something about buying a brand new car that makes it seem like I'm getting robbed. It really feels like if I did that I'd instantly regret it in June when I could get a 2013 similarly priced. I didn't realize that was coming so soon until a few hours ago.

You were on the verge of buying a $43k car. I'm sure that a new 2012 is cheaper. But sure, look for a used sport package and test drive it.

To be honest, I probably won't perform any mods. Also, the 2011 NISMO for under 33k I posted seems like a bargain as long as there wasn't a government dump taken in it. Going to go take a look at it now.

Nismo was not for me, go with the 2012, all models of that year have an oil cooler. Not sure you can still special order one like i did though, in Tochigi Japan they can be very selective when taking orders, unless your options are just that rare like mines were for a 2012 model.
