Default Urgent please help!

hello, I just bought a 350z to which was advertised as a touring edition.

But it has come to my attention and now i believe it's not a touring edition because it does not have traction control buttons or power steering buttons, ive also hear that all editions besides the basic come with leather seats, mine has cloth.

please give me insight in to this. They also advertised on the window sticker that it has traction control, but i dont need see the buttons.

just bought this monday.

if you don't have any steering wheel controls, then you have a base.

i have been there many times, dont think they would do that but you never know. so no vdc or tcs buttons, what about cruise control and audio buttons on steering. i would go to another nissan shop and have them tell you the model, if not a touring go back and demand money back or something

ok bro the traction control buttons are right above the unlock mechanism for the hood. If you dont have anything there you have a base model.

The only models with cloth seats are the enthusiast and the base models, every model after that has leather.

if you have regular brakes, you have a base

if you dont have any steering wheel controls you have a base model.

i have taken my car there for service before and that is where i get all my oem parts. they have a pretty good name, it may have been an honest mistake on the trim package... but i am glad they made things right
