New Car Pros:
-COULD have better peace of mind than used (your comment about no risk of car problems isn't necessarily true - some new cars could be lemons).
-you know what has/hasn't been done to the car.
-you know the car history.

New Car Cons:
-depreciation
-depreciation
-depreciation

Who knows, the OP could be a brand new Z and then Nissan could come out with a hotter model and the OP could want to trade soon after, which in this case, would be extremely unfavorable for the OP since s/he would be so upside down on his/her loan, unless they have the $ to make up for it.

btw, i would NEVER buy a nismo, or a brand new car for that matter, with 100 miles on it. 100 miles is quite a distance and you never know what those previous test drives could have included.
So you'd be more worried about the damage from 100 miles in test drives than over 40,000 mi and YEARS of driving...
Not to mention one likely has warranty and the other doesnt...

I can tell reading comprehension is your forte.

Let's review. When did I ever say I'd be more worried about 100 miles vs 40k? I'll dumb it down for you: the comment I made about never buying a brand new Nismo, or a brand new car even, with 100 miles on it was something I was piggy-backing off of another post to where he mentioned about his vehicle. It had nothing to do with influencing on buying new or used, but rather a personal preference that I would never buy a new car with 100 miles on it (i.e. meaning 100 miles on a brand new car is too much).

Let me know if you need me to water it down even more.
