I have a question. I have a 2004 350z and was led to believe it was a touring model. It has a funny options list of things that are touring only (so I thought) and things that a touring should have (which it doesn't)

It does have:

VDC
Leather seats (two tone gray/black)
Cruise control w/ buttons on steering wheel
Auto dimming rearview mirror

It DOESN'T have:
Heated seats
Power seats
Bose radio

So whats the verdict, could this be a touring or is it a performance/base?

not a base. it could easily have been a performance with leather seats.

Don't go by the leather seats. I have a leather in my Performance - aftermarket though. Do you have the tire pressure monitor? If you have that then you definitely have a Performance.

It has tire pressure monitoring on the 18" wheels. I guess the confusion is I thought only the touring came w/ cruise on the steering wheel and the auto dim rearview.

I have an '04 Enthusiast and I have cruise on the steering wheel, TCS, and the autodim rearview mirror.

05 Touring with:
- leather, heated, power seats
- VDC
- Bose Stereo
- Home Link
- TPS
- Cruise Control

I think you need to say "yes" to all of those items to have a Touring.

Brent350z

Haha, well interesting stuff. Carmax bought it from me a couple weeks ago as a touring model (which is what I presented it to them as, which is what it was presented to me as by the dealer I purhased it from). I guess I got lucky, oh, they also paid me $1000 more than I paid for it so its all good. . They're advertising it for sale locally for $27k...I don't think thats going to happen anytime soon, but who knows?
