Too late I already paid the $500 :ughdance: turns out it will count towards the original price if I end up buying it, but I sure will be camping by thr dealership waiting for it to arrive :bowrofl:

Good luck man! And keep us posted!

the nismo finally came in today! gotta say exterior and performance wise the nismo definitely wins, but I was kinda disappointed at how poorly constructed the interior is for the nismo compared to the sports touring :/ . Guess i'll still be going for the nismo for the sexy looks, also there was a couple red flags with the car, first the front skirt/spoiler was unclipped from the corner, and paint fading in another area.. will be posting pictures soon hopefully!

i wouldnt want to pay over $30K with those problems. have the dealer fix both issues prior to delivery.

I went for The Nismo for the exterior looks. If I wanted a nice interior, I'd just get a new Hyundai for half the price. :p

As for the exterior, just tell the dealership if they fix those problems, you will take it. The skirt issue sounds like it's just missing a clip. Faded paint on a 12? Are you sure it wasn't just dirty?

I showed great signs of frustrations when I saw these problems with the car, which made the dealer announce right away that they will be fixing everything for no charge :icon18: plus a detailing/wash/wax job lol

:iagree: but wouldn't it be nice to have both exterior sexiness and interior luxury :rofl2: as for the paint, its probably not faded.. for some reason my phone won't allow me to post pictures, but I will do so as soon as I get off work

Agree. This is why i didn't get the Nismo. I couldn't stand the interior and to an extent, the rear spoiler. The non-US Nismos could be had with nav, if only they offered it in the US.

Either way good luck with the purchase!

Yeah its a tough decision. I still want the Nismo more though because although the sports touring looks good, the looks of the Nismo is just pure sexiness! I cant think of a better looking car within that price range honestly.. the spoiler isn't that big of an issue to me, I was a little bothered by how loud the Nismo exhaust is when ur over 4K rpm

I love the Nismo wheels. Hoping to find a decent to put on mine.

The stock Nismo exhaust isn't loud at all. After a few months you'll be looking at CBEs....that's hows I was!

for some reason i thought the Nismo exhaust was VERY loud! compared to my Si atleast..

The Nismo exhaust shouldn't be VERY loud. Although loud is subjective, I'd suggest you to check if it IS a nismo exhaust or aftermarket exhaust. Also check if it's stock cats or HFCs or test pipes. HFCs/TPs can make the exhaust note louder then stock. You want a stock Nismo not a modified Nismo.

I assumed its the nismo exhaust because the tips are nismo.. but when i jacked the car up today i noticed some welding, im not sure if the stock nismo exhaust has welding but this one does.. it sounds good regardless.

Maybe it's muffler delete? In any case, as long as you like it it's the most important.:tup:

Oh I love it :tup: I cant even see myself buying any Z but a nismo! its just too sexy

not sure what that means lol
