If you want luxury go Bimmer dude. You can get a nice 2006 7 series for about 23k around 60,000 miles or a nice 5 series as well. And you say porsche? You can get a Caymen for 30k. But a 911 or a 911 turbo your gonna be looking at some serious coin.

 

What evidence does Nissan have that you need a new engine? Don't throw in the towel just yet, in my opinion. Also, you can find used motors on Car-Part.com for $1500 + shipping. If you love your car enough, it's cheaper than taking a loss on it and getting another car.

 

^ make sure to check with another dealer.

Best of luck to you buddy, sucks that had to happen.
