Default New To The 350z

I am starting to research the different Z styles. I am trying to decide between a used '08 350z and a '07 350z. The obvious considerations of course is the mileage, driver, history and price.

I am trying to figure out the major differences between the styles:
Enthusiast
Touring
Grand Touring

I found a couple of options. Some of them are the base model of '08 vs. Grand Touring '07. The grand touring '07 is priced higher or equal to the base '08. I could get better financing on the '08 so I am not sure what kind of value the touring packages have. None have a navigation, radio is stock in all options, each is a convertible, what are the key components I should be looking for. Need some help from Z owners.

Thanks

Im not going to answer the difference between the trims, bc that can easily be figured out using the search tab. I can tell you that if you can get a grand touring or touring 07 for the same price as a base 08, with comparable miles, then get it. No changes were made from 07 to 08

Let me be the 2nd to welcome you to the site..

IMO all the packages are all personal preference.. Under all the options the cars are all pretty much identical. So it all depends on what your tastes are.

My only advice would be... If buying used? Get the newest one you can afford and check it thoroughly.

Good luck

Thanks to everyone that answered my question or gave me some helpful opinions. I probably should have searched first. Something I will do now which of course was suggested more than once in the replies. Not that I need to explain myself but I did sign up and in the short amount of time I had I did post a quick message to get various opinions of a very basic question. I guess i should have expected some of those responses. As you saw from my heading it stated new to 350z and common logic would have demonstrated I was new to the vehicle and forum.

Once again thanks to those that have gave some constructive replies. Gotta love forums, there are always mixed personalities.

yea you will find a little of everything on here. it can be a rough crowd when it comes to not doing research before posting or asking questions that have been answered a million times etc. but the forum is very useful too and has lots of great info. just brush off the sarcastic comments! (from me too)

Default I am starting to understand

So I have been reading through some of the past posts and replies. Interesting to see actually. Me being new of course I have no idea on the following the Z has. It appears that some Z owners are upset at how affordable the Z's are and they don't seem to like new comers. I could understand this and this makes sense on why they don't like novice questions.

Wrong there is nothing wrong with novice questions, but when the MODS sticky a thread top 100 questions. And that sticky is right below the new thread button, if NOOBS would read more than just the sign up section we wouldn't have 1000000 threads os best mod, model difference, etc....
