Is it worth trading in a 10 for a 12

you would be in the mid 60's for trade.. i would say your car and 25K would be in the ballpark of what it would cost you... almost 30 for black edition

Twenty-five to thirty thousand is a lot of mods for your '10-enough to get you '12 like performance, or more. Are the upgrades in the '12, such as auto headlights, backup camera, smoother ride, LED running lights, worth the cash, in your opinion? Is the security of a fresh warranty, without the hassle of explaining what mods you've done, worth the cash? It's a lot of money for not much of an upgrade. There are lots who have done it, but there are also those whom have put the money towards upgrades to their existing car. I think it comes down to a personal choice on the value/dollar you're getting.

Plus, can you find a '12 in the color you want at a price you're willing to pay? How much time and effort are you willing to spend searching?

-Duck!

My 2cents: no. U can make ur 2010 perform better then a '12 for less then 5k when it comes to power. The cars are just to similar, Id wait for a more substantial model redesign then just a mid cycle freshening w 99% the same hardware.

No. Keep the 2010. There are not enough improvements in the 2012 to warrant the price difference.

doesn't a midpipe and custom tune make you faster than a 2012? thats under 2000$

I have wondered the same thing, but decided to get a few mods to outrun a 2012.

If you bought a used 2012, the difference would only be about $15k plus tax if applicable in your state. You should be able to sell your white 2010 for about $67k. There is a blue 2012 for sale on the board asking $83k. I would guess you could find other 2012's for low $80's as they come up for sale.

I will probably upgrade to a 2012 in the next year or so.

Good luck on your decision.

Not really worth getting a 12 yet if you already have a 10. You can easily mod your 10 with bolt ons, cobb, and a custom tune to be faster than the 12. WIth the new cobb alpha firmware, you can pretty much get LC4. Unless you like the new suspension, rear diffuser, strut bar, and daytime LEDs, no need for the 12.

Do it.

Increases US demand for GT-R's which continues to provide a stream of parts/development for all of us.

I won't do it myself, due to personal economy. But, if I had plenty of spare cash, oh yeah.
