This is why I bought mine brand new. Nothing but synthetic every 4k miles and all service done at the dealership.

Thanks for enlightening me on how quickly the oil changes color

but it was not just the oil itself, it was the combo of cheap filter and no gasket that pinched my nerve.

I agree brand new is the way to go, especially if you want to make sure she has not been with anybody else LoL. I am also not a big fan of the new body style of the 370 Nismo, front end seems like a bit overkill IMHO. Maybe I have to see it in person to really make that judgement.
