It costs $16.67 per $1,000 financed considering a 60 month loan at 0% APR, so an extra $41.68/month assuming it's only $2500 more. Personally, I don't see any reason to go for the sport package for what I'm using the car for:

I don't like the spoiler
Rays wheels are heavier than the 18" base wheels and 19" tires will cost more to replace
I won't be tracking the car to see the benefit of the VLSD, also everyone says it isn't that good anyway
I probably won't see a great benefit of the Akebono brakes without tracking the car

To each his own....I was just giving my 2 cents to the OP....I guess this is why Nissan makes them in so many models, Base, Sports, Sports-Touring/Nismo....to offer different options for those with different budgets and intentions with the car....

We need to go back to the old days of car ordering. All cars were base, then you just ticked boxes to add the stuff on. Want leather seats and nothing else? Done!

Yup...I remember the old days when pretty much all cars came standard and if you wanted an automatic transmission you had to special order one and it cost more. Now its the total opposite...Auto Transmissions are standard features and standard features require the special ordering and extra $$$
