Taking the plunge - But not so fast!

Thanks so much for the responses guys! I essentially am feeling what everyone is saying.

I'm definitely not getting that original one, so I can put that point to rest. To be fair though, I'm not sure if people are considering that 43k was with all fees, shipping, it's a CPO (starting to believe that isn't what it's cracked up to be), and a 2700 bumper to bumper for 100k/7years (also probably not worth it. I read a stat that said extended warranties pay for themselves apprx 2% of the time!)

I think the touring sport is the way to go. If seasoned modders are saying NISMO is too stiff then I should certainly take that to the bank.

One last favor, please. Advice on this one should flesh out the scope for what I should be looking at for pricing. I just found this classified yesterday, and I live pretty close to the dealer. It seems cherry to me, and the autocheck score is 93. 2010 40th Ann Touring (Sport, I think) with 9,295 miles. Dealer seems to think it makes 350hp though, heh.

They counter-offered with 33k. I'm thinking I won't budge until 30k. What do you think? Looks like it has a lien record. Is that worrisome? Would I want to look at title insurance/protection or something?

The classified ad

KBB price @ $36,216

If you actually read this far I really appreciate it!

good choice you can find a better deal. as far as the warranty goes.
if you really won't one wait until you reach around 35,000 on your car then
buy one. why pay for something before you need it.

i bought one from nissan bumper to bumper for 975.00 good up to 75,000
because that's when i plan on trading in.......
