which one do you guys think is the best deal?

I'll probably be picking one up as soon as i sell my '97 4runner and a '82 911

thanks!

I'd rather go with the '07 or '08 engine myself. However, as I was looking and buying a few months ago, I ended up with an '06 because I found a great deal on a GT with 20k miles. Since you have three options, decide for yourself what price would make you want each car. Maybe it is $16k for the '06, $21k for the '08, and $27.5k for the NISMO? Then take that price to the respective dealers and make an offer. The one that takes your offer is the "best" deal.

Dual intake.. more balanced engine.. for one

The previous generation of engine, Rev-up design, had quite a number of oil consumers (mine for example) -- 2005/06 model years.

I'd probably say the Red '08. However, it still is worth a lot less than what they are asking IMO. The '08 will still have a lot of the warranty left and NISMOs are overpriced in my opinion.

The HR engine supposedly is a tougher, more reliable engine, or at least it should be. As was mentioned, the '06 had a number of problems with oil consumption and has less low end torque.
