The way network solutions even found me? WHOIS.. Did you try whois yet? Their contact might be right there.. they might go lower.

Nissan.com is a legitimate company with a legitimate purpose though.
What purpose would that be? A quick visit to their site strongly suggests that a pretty important purpose of their business is to squat NISSAN.COM.
don't forget to buy the .net .org .edu .co .us .br .es .xxx .gj .aj .xj .ns .jt .tk .fj .gja .aj .rjg .al .gj .jq .jp
I assume you are being sarcastic? However, I wouldn't think bothering with anything but .com is worthwhile?

It really isn't. And dropping 1.5k on a .com isn't either in my opinion. Web application markets are evolving, people will look for a product name, not a url system that's not even relevant to a user, unless it is for browsing files.
Keep in mind...
* dropbox.com was getdropbox.com
* basecamp.com was basecamphq.com
* foursquare.com was playfoursquare.com
* facebook.com was thefacebook.com
There are a lot of creative ways to fake it until you make it. Don't choose a terrible name that nobody can pronounce, but there are other alternatives for a lot less money. In the last year, I've purchased a half dozen domains that are simple to pronounce and didn't cost more than $9.
Flickr didn't have flicker.com until recently and I think it cost them over $800,000 if I remember the bidding for it correctly. Probably worth just buying it now and not worrying about it.

Regardless of sarcastic intent, stop and think for a second about how you'll feel when someone DOES register one of those domains. If your site becomes popular and you don't own all of them, which domains would impact your business the most? If you're serious, buy those ones before they become valuable.
If you're not building a physical product, I don't think it's necessary to invest in a domain. Early on you should just be focusing on the product. The name may change as the product evolves. If your product reaches any level of success, you can then decide to purchase a better domain. At the point of success, you'll have the resources to purchase a better domain.

And it'll cost far more, vs. at this point where it's extremely inexpensive. That price will raise as his service/product gets more successful.
