You said you test drove one. So you want it, is what youre saying youre just not sure if that is a good price. I think people are misconstruing your intentions.

Id go with an 06 enthusiast at that price, or even a decked out base. That price could easily get you out the door on an 06 if you haggled a little.

 

Dont buy THAT Z but they are good cars. It's should definately be at the top of the list if you're looking for a sub 30K sports car. As for being underpowered, call me crazy but 300 hp seems like plenty to me.
