Default Automatic 350Z Track?

Hi there!

I've recently been shopping around for a 350Z to buy and I stumbled upon one that claims to be a 2005 350Z Track. It's got 98,675 miles and it's just under $10k, all of which is fine, but one thing that confuses me is that it says it is automatic and it looks like it from the pictures. From everything I've found in 2005 for the Track version they only made a manual version, am I wrong about this?

This is the car https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/invent...ting=155020305

Thanks in advance!

That's an Enthusiast. What gives it away is the cloth seats and auto tranny. That combo can only be Enthusiast.

Not a track. Either a misguided or shady seller posting a false representation.

Thanks y'all! That is what I assumed I just wasn't sure if I was mistaken about them being only manual. Thanks for the info!

It's overpriced even if it was a track model.

Nissan doesn't encode the model number in the VIN.
