Default Which 350 to buy, now with real examples

Hi All,
Yesterday I shared with you my dilemma, which 350 year and model to buy. (here).
I collected some real examples which are available now (still hopefully) in my area and wanted to kindly ask you for a recommendation. I checked them all on carfax and they are clean with no accident.

As for me a navigation+bluetooth+rear spoiler is a must, I will have to add these when they are not available already on the car (none have navi, some have spoiler).
Which would you take ? Thanks for your advise!!

1. 2007 NISSAN 350Z TOURING BLACK 27k MILES - $21995

Magnetic BLACK, with spoiler
Dealer. Would go down to 21000 probably.

2. 2007 Nissan 350Z Enthusiast Coupe 18K miles - $21900

This one is private which is a plus. san marino blue pearl, no spoiler

3. 2006 Nissan 350Z Enthusiast 9K miles - $20,988

Silver, With Spoiler. Dealer


4. 2006 Nissan 350Z Enthusiast- 23,977 Miles - $18998

Dealer. Would go down to 18,100. Diamond Graphite Metallic, no spoiler

5. 2006 Nissan 350Z Enthusiast 18K miles, 19,995

Dealer. Silver Alloy Metallic, no spoiler

Thank you all for your opinions!!
Everyone was mentioning number one. So you dont think the high (highest in this list) mileage is an issue ?

Thanks again!

#1, its black, 6-speed and its a HR nuff said,

1 or 2

I would negiotiate more than $995 on the price from a dealer. A dealer normally has around $3,000-$4000 in margin.

1 for sure.. thats not high mileage. I got my base 07 in may with 13k miles for 19,5. if you can get them down to 20$, its a good deal

What do you mean davidv ? Touring or Enth. ? I mean - I dont really care, its only options and I will buy the options I am missing (Navi,BT,Spoiler) so leather seats are nice but not a must and the rest is only nice to have..

From what I understood from everyone here, the HR played a major role in opting for number #1.
What do you think ?

Thanks

#1 Only - you can always add anything you want too...price, mileage, trim. If I was looking at these options this is the what I would go with. Where are you located in N.Cal?
