Default help me choose a z!

Hey all, first time poster here. I'm thinking about getting a Z and have narrowed it down to either an '06 base w/ 30k mi for 19k, '06 base w/ 25k miles for 21.5k, or an '07 enthusiast w/ 37(just 37) mi for 24k. It seems like the '07 would be the best deal, but is the HR engine/fewer miles/'07 vs '06 worth the 5k difference in price? Just wanted to get your opinions, pros/cons, etc.. Thanks for the help!

Keeping it stockish (powerwise) get the 07. Plan to mod the hell out of it, get the 06.

07 Enthusiasts are pretty tough to find. I'd be all over that. Alot of 06's had problems with oil consumption. If you do get an 06, aim for a 06.5.

07 HR no question.....More $$$ to mod, but no oil consumption problems.

Is the '07 brand new or used??? 24k for a 28-29k car is pretty questionable if you ask me.

Doh, I ran a carfax on that '07 today and the last entry shows ~7k mi. Guess it was too good to be true. Gonna call the dealer up tomorrow and see what the mileage is at currently.
