Should I wait for a sports+touring? The car I am looking at seems to be a pretty good deal. It's a 2010 with 23k miles, 6spd., Silver, and immaculate for $24,500. Let me know your thoughts.

S-Drive button? I assume you meant SynchroRev Match button. If that's the case, it's a sports package. The SynchroRev Match is not the thing can be easily added. Plus you sound like the owner has no idea about his own car, so no way he added a SynchroRev match feature himself. It's a sports for sure.

$24,500 on a 2010 with 23k is a pretty good deal imo.

To be honest, if you're on this forum, you definitely want the Sports package.

Touring is completely up to you, as it's only interior upgrades. Granted, they're nice upgrades, but only you can decide if it's worth the extra few $k. (New, it's about a $4k difference.)

I think the biggest questions usually are:
- Are you going to replace the seats? If so, Touring seats are a waste on you.
- Are you going to replace the audio? If so, Touring Bose is a waste on you.
- Are you going to care about leather vs cloth interior? If you don't care, Touring leather is a waste on you.

That's roughly it. If you want those things and don't plan on upgrading them on your own dime/time, Touring may be worth holding out for.

My theory depends on what are you planning to do. If you plan on converting it to a track car IE stripped the interior, remove all non necessary items and so on then the sport/track model will do. The syncro rev is nice.

If you plan to do shows and stuff, and somethings or most of them will be replaced then any model will do. If you want the vehicle to look good and not having to do any replacements then the nismo is the model. That's why I was asking.
