Default Urgent Help, I Have 1 Hr Left Only

I need an answer in around an hr to make up my mind guys..PLS PLS PLS HELP

I need an answer asap guys..
i am to settle the deal to buy my New Z from Nissan in a few hrs...its 6 am now, i gotta make the call at 9 am..
I just found out about the tire feathering and the car drifting to the right side...

I had tried a second hand car a few days abck and heard a LOUD noise, i thought it was the Z..now i know its the cupping..or feathering...

So am wondering what other problems am i gonna face...
U guys think these are just problems we can deal with , do they outweigh the need to buy this car or what?...
cuz am not forking up 35 000 USD for this car..and its a 2004 model Track, they still have some from 2004 in stock..the 2005 is a bit more expensive...around 3K $more and its manual , they havent got auto anymore..waiting for 2006 to arrive in feb, and thats even another added 5 K $ more...

i was looking at a second hand BMW z3 COUPE M POWER 343 HP..good deal...

opinions pls...do any of you have regrets?
Is this problem really tiring you guys??
I am a VERY PICKY guy ..and i dnt wanna go and buy NEW TIRES and SPRINGS etc to fix this..( IF IT WILL BE FIXED) cuz no definate solution has been found...
PLS PLS PLS HELP ASAP

They did some work on the '04 mid-year so that "feathering" wouldn't be a problem.

34K for 04??? That's rape. I was looking at an 05 Touring for $33 brand new. Even track model shouldn't go that high.

Hey guys, he lives in the United Arab Emirates. I am asuming there is a price difference, but also, Nissan did not send that many cars over there. I expect the Z to cost a bit more over there than here in the US or Canada.

Well, I wanted a Yellow 35th Ann. Not willing to pay that much....Found a 2005 yellow Touring for the $32,500.
Ended up buying a 2003 Sunset Orange beauty with 6k miles for $25,500. I paid a little extra for the milage, but the car is practically brand new. Has chrome wheels, Stillen exhaust and AEM intake as well. So I figured it was a decent deal.

As for the original post, didn't realize he was in the middle east. That I'm sure makes a hell of a difference. Heck, I am originally from Puerto Rico and even there a few 1000 miles away a car like the 350z will fetch $5-10k more than here. So I can understand.
