Default Help in deciding

There are three diffrent Z's that I am interested in buying and I need help trying to decide on which one.

1st one is a 2003 Black Base Model 16,500
44,000 miles
gray upholstry interior
TSW wheels

2nd is a 2003 Gray Enthusiast 16,500
56,000
gray upholstry interior

3rd is a 2003 Red Touring 17,000
65,000
Beige leather interior
only thing about this one is they put a ugly *** body kit on it and I want stock parts so it would cost extra to get some stock parts painted and put on.

I would love to have the Black one but the only thing keeping me from it is that it is a base model so it does not have a LSD. Which one would you guys pick?

Enthusiast or Touring. Whichever, pay to have it checked out by competent mechanic.

How about D) non of the above. If you are willing to paying $17K for a used up touring then you might as well save a little longer $3k more and get a much better car for $20k.

So is it a possible choice or not?

Step up in price, used, from Base to other models is relatively small compared to extra features; i.e. LSD, TCS/VDC, CC, etc.

Numbers on Enthusiast & Touring are so close I'd get the color you like best....assumimg both are in equal condition.

I wouldn't mess with the base or any car I had to take to the body shop right away to do work on it without getting a really hot deal on it.

If thats what your budget is going to bear I would go with the second one... but Like someone above said I would think about saving a bit and stepping up in price to one with less miles.
