opinion on getting a new 08 nismo 350z vs preowned 04 porsche cayenne

what do you guys think? the price would be almost the same. but then, i am trading my 06 Nissan Armada and that's our family SUV. It's too big and we realized that the c230 is actually enough for us to use. I had a 350z 2006 before but wrecked it after a year. i like the porsche but have no idea how much it will cost me to maintain the vehicle. that saves me of the worries if i decided to get the 08 nismo 350z.

i was looking for a better porsche cayenne forum and found non that's helpful. maybe some of the guys here can give their expert/wise opinions.

thanks in advance

porsche cayenne S with 49k miles with 2 yrs warranty or 100k miles
08 350z nismo edition - fresh!

I used to have a 06 a and loved but had to lemon it and replaced it with a bmw , but if iwas to go back I would get the grand touring, the nismo is just to flashy. I done like th fact that they modified the chassis though.

But you need to find put what u want , a SUV or a sports car

There are a few forums out there- try http://forums.rennlist.com/
I remember reading about issues on the 04's with hoses?
Sounded really simple but really expensive and poorly designed. I'll check around.
Why a Cayenne though? What about ML or X5?
