Not sure what the deal is. I found a car I want to buy. It looks like it has Brembos, plus leather seats. So it looks like a touring model from the interior, but looks like an 06 (wheels) track from the exterior.

Is this combination possible for an 05 model year? Check it out. Thanks.

Not a track....no leather in the track.

Sounds like a grand touring.

I thought the grand touring didnt come till 2006 models? could it be an anniversary edition ?

 

Yes GT is an '06 trim for coupes. Perhaps a touring with Brembos added, OR track with leather added. Why not find out the VIN, get the VIN decoder from Courtesy's site and figure out the trim?

 

Actually, it is a 35th Anniversary edition. So was GT an option for an 05 and would it have come with Brembos + Leather? What about those 06 style rims? Think he swapped em out?

 

'06 wheels (except staggered) look like '05 Anniversary Ed wheels. As I said, GT is a new trim for coupes in '06. I don't recall if 35th's seats had two-tone leather optional or standard.

 

'05 35th and 06' 18" wheels are the same.

And the Autotrader ad is pretty clear in stating that this car is a 35th anniversary Z.

 

thats just stock 35th Anni

 

... and the GT uses the Track's Ray's lightweight rims, not the standard '06 18's.

 

Besides, there was no GT coupe in '05, only roadster.

 

Yes, that's a stock 05 35th. It was available in Ultra Yellow, Black, and Silverstone. You can also see that the floor mats say Z 35th.

"Production reports indicate there have been 678 Anniversary Zs produced starting 12/04/04 to date (10/07/05). Numbers are: 188 silverstone, 231 yellow, and 259 were black. When comparing the Anniversary VIN Prefix to a regular Z, there is no difference. The trim code ( AE) is the only way to distinguish an Anniversary 350Z from regular production"

GARDENA, Calif. (Oct. 20, 2004) – Nissan North America, Inc. this week marked the 35th anniversary of the debut of the original Datsun 240Z sports car by announcing details of the special Nissan 350Z 35th Anniversary model. The commemorative model, one of six 350Z Coupe models offered in 2005 (along with three 2005 Nissan 350Z Roadster models), is highlighted by a higher performance version of the Z®’s standard 3.5-liter V6. The engine, which is available only with the 6-speed manual transmission, produces 300 horsepower versus the standard 287-horsepower V6. The 35th Anniversary Z® makes its industry debut at the Specialty Equipment Marketing Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas on November 2nd, followed by its first public appearance at the Miami Auto Show in early November. It is scheduled to go on sale at Nissan dealers nationwide in January 2005.

“Surviving 35 years does not make a sports car a classic. But power, style and class leadership certainly does,” said Mark McNabb, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division. “This new 35th Anniversary represents the highest expression so far of the Z® – and Nissan – and takes its place in a long line of extraordinary performance vehicles.”

The 35th Anniversary Z®’s engine has been modified using revised pistons and camshaft and the addition of electronic exhaust valve timing control. The same engine will also be available as standard equipment on the 2005 350Z Track model (6MT only), which also goes on sale in early 2005.

Other key 35th Anniversary Z® equipment (standard on both 6-speed manual and 5-speed automatic equipped versions) includes unique 18-inch cast aluminum-alloy wheels, front and rear spoilers, Brembo® brakes and special Z® badging.

The 35th Anniversary Z® is offered in just three colors – Ultra Yellow, Super Black and Silverstone. The new Ultra Yellow exterior color utilizes a new high-luminance and high-chroma pearl pigment and three layers of top coat (with separate color pigment and pearl pigment layers) to create an almost “liquid” surface appearance.

The 35th Anniversary Z® also is available with unique, optional black-and-tan leather-appointed seats (except with the Ultra Yellow exterior).

All 2005 350Z models, including the new 35th Anniversary model, receive a standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), heated outside mirrors, wider view side mirrors and front seat lifter. Automatic transmission equipped models are now outfitted with downshift rev matching for smoother shifting, and manual transmission models now come with reduced clutch pedal effort for easier operation. The optional navigation system (available on 35th Anniversary and Touring models only) now has a faster system processor.

The 2005 350Z Coupe is available in six models – 350Z, Enthusiast, Performance, Touring, Track MT and the 35th Anniversary. Standard features on all models include the 3.5-liter DOHC V6 engine, independent multi-link suspension with front and rear stabilizer bars, strut tower bar, power windows, 3-bay gauge cluster, dual front air bags, available seat mounted side impact air bags and more.

 

Wow. Thanks for the info. I am going to go get this on the weekend!! Looks like a keeper. What do you guys think? I'm going to fork over $24K

 

Sounds like hell of a deal. You check the Carfax?

 

Something seems fishy, or else the guy didn't run the price as a 35th anniversary. Edmunds puts it at $29k for a private party price. Note that you can specifically pick 35th anniversary.

I'm partial to them. I bought a new, never titled, with 45miles one in May, for $29.5k. Ultra Yellow with every option including NAV, side/curtain airbags, and auto. Apparently with a $41.5k pricetag, it sat on the lot for a year because nobody wanted yellow and auto at that price.

Not yet, if anyone can help me out, I owe you guys one!! If not, I will just make the carfax purchase for 25 bux. But here is the VIN just in case someone can help me out, you can email it to me at geomark@gmail.com or PM Me: JN1AZ34D05M610802

By the way, I can't tell if it has NAVI. Did all 35th Cars have it standard and would the cubby hole lid cover it up. Cant tell by the pix.

 

Link to "Courtesy's Site" ?

please&thanks

 

Nav was an option. the door is there regardless, so you wouldn't know if it had it or not. I'd guess that it does not, or it would have been mentioned in the description.

Let us know what you learn on the Carfax; curious to know why the price is so low...

But sorry, I was mistaken. The VIN does not include trim level. You can confirm the year, though. Plus decoding the VIN of your own car is somewhat of a gratifying feeling, atleast to me!
