Default looking to buy a Z

Ok guys, so this is my life story. Currently a Junior, worked for the past 2 years and have saved up a lot of money. Z32-34 are the only cars i will ever get because i am in love with the design. except for audi r8 after college. But right now, i am looking to get a 350z. I looked at changes at
http://consumerguideauto.howstuffwor...issan-350z.htm
and want a 2007 but dont know if its in my price range. What year do YOU guys think i should buy? Btw im not looking for a base model. I really want a 2007-2008 but i think its out of my price range. Thing about me is that when i buy things i care about, they need to be.... not abused.

edit: manual of course
2ndedit: oh my bad 15-20k.

Look for an 05; least amount of issues. Next would be 04. Have mechanic check it out for you.

2007 is probably out of your price range unless you find someone that drove the crap out of it and it's a base model. even then, it might be slightly out of reach.

when I picked one up it was 17.8 OTD, 2004 enthusiast 40k, mint condition, perfect local carfaqs with all service records etc.

I am inclined to believe you should go with an 05 as well, just shop around, people are dieing to unload cars

You have a budget so go shopping for a 350Z within the budget. I recommend shopping by mileage rather than model year, In other words a 2006 with 25,000 miles is a better deal than a 2007 with 50,000.
