Default This 2008 has a Nismo S-Tune badge on it?

I'm looking at this 350z, it is a 2008 with 2,300 miles for $24k.

What does the S-Tune badge on the back mean? I Google'd it, but I only found that S-Tune applied to '05??

lol. I could buy a ferrari badge and put on the back of my car. Does it mean much?

edit: BTW the site is stupid. It lists the car as auto? when you can clearly see its manual, its a base.

I didn't notice any of the usual Nismo add-ons that drive somebody to identify it as a S-Tune. This would be stuff like the Nismo exhaust, Nismo shocks, sways and springs, Nismo wheels or Nismo cold-air intake.

My guess is that the badge is useless.

it means either the prior owner or probably the sales place are idiots and stuck a sticker on...

and the ad says 'automatic' & 'steering wheel controls' which are not there in the pics

is just a nice low mileage 08 base - get the carfax to prove it's not a repair....

i'd pony up the extra $ for a new 370z cause the value will drop off that 350 faster than something fast falling really fast... i.e. paris hiltons knickers at the end of happy hour

It also says it has an LSD which doesnt come with base models. And just an FYI i paid the same price OTD for a brand new 08 base w/ 6 miles in FEB, so you can def. do better on the price. My advice is do your own research on the car you want to buy, so you can then find out everything for yourself when you go to check the car out in person.

There is a lot about this ad that doesn't add up.
On one line they say it's an Automatic. Another place they say it has a 6 speed.
The pictures show cloth interior but the description says leather.
The pictures also show a Base model but the description states it has speed (cruise) control.
I'd say this dealer really hasn't a clue and is very sloppy in their fact checking.

There is nothing NISMO on that car. It looks like they are describing the GT model.

that's not a nismo exhaust on there, the tips are normal. Maybe it has an intake. There's nothing S-Tune about it.

I got a 2008 z that has the enthusiast package with 13k miles on it. I picked it up for 19k. Not worth that price!
