Default questions on the 2006 z's

i been on the market for a Z about 2 months now. i been looking for a 35th but i mission failed...

i found a 06 touring loaded for 29k w/ 6k miles on it and im thinking about buying it depending on the feedback i get

other than oil consumption is there any other problems w/ the 06?

Unless you consider the clutch sticking to the floor not major? Then No.

That's way too much, imo. You can get an 07 Touring for almost the same price. I'm looking at an 06 Touring for 27k. And another 06 Touring for 26k - both low mileage (11k and 5k, respectively) .
