. The dealer is asking 34,800.00. I am trying to get them down - there is "road rash" on the front right tire (I noticed it after I took the video), and a small scratch on the hood - even with those things noted they're not moving

.

Wait, isn't the Nismo you are interested in being sold from a Carmax dealership? If so the price is non negotiable. Thats one thing I really dislike about their company, however their prices are pretty competitive and the hassle free negotiating can be nice if the price is decent. I bought my Nismo from a Carmax last year. An 09 with 9k miles on it for 32k. My sister works for the company so I was also able to get a discount on top of that.

Yea it is being sold from Carmax - and trust me, the non negotiable price is some I dislike as well.
If they were asking closer to 33k, I would take it.
I'm just really worried on taking a bath with this thing if I need to sell it in a year or two - of course I don't think I will need to but just want to be safe.

The car sold..... These cars move so fast. Maybe I should have moved on it .......
Hopefully it's for the best and I find the Nismo of my dreams.....

Update on this car - it was returned but the person who bought it (it was bought soon after I passed on the car).

The guy who bought it and then returned it (Car Max has a 5 day return policy) said the car's transmission was damaged....

I may go look at it again - there was nothing wrong with the trans - maybe he couldn't handle the high catch point of the clutch?

Back in the dealer - I think I may pull the trigger ... its a brand new 2009...... No one has had any problem with this year outside of the oil cooler right?

What do you mean brand new 2009 this is 2012. 2009 was 3 years ago.

LOL. Bad play on words I guess - What I ment was its a 2009 that hasn't been used at all - really low miles, smells new, ect.
