Are both these cars from a nissan dealer? cause you did say the 07 is, what about the 05? if not i would def take the 07 just because its from the dealer tell him 20k out the door Also the 18k miles on the 05 is not alot of miles just to answer your question. you can def get a enth 05 way cheaper like 15 or 16k just look around

aaaahhh you guys making me want the 07 one now haha. the PPW 07 looks so sexy too. So this is what I am going to do. I am going to be calling both dealers and if i can get the 07' for 20k OTD then ill go for it, but last time i talked to the guy he wouldnt budge from 20,999+ttl so we'll see. And as for the 05' i wanted it for 17-18k OTD havent really talked to this guy yet he just kept on telling me to come down to the dealer blah blah and i had to go to work so hung up. haha
ALSO black06z you said get it checked by a mechanic... the 07' is at a known nissan dealership so would i just say "hey let me give this to ur mechanic" or bring my own...?

Idk dude i hear your point about the 05 being a tour and all that. But here are the reasons i would get the 07.
1. Newer car, 2 years old rather then 4 years (so if you look to sell it down the road)
2. better motor, the DE is great but the HR is just better (had them both)
3. being sold at a nissan dealer so it might have a pre owned certified warranty
4. Better gear tranny

3rd----1.53-----------------1.47
4th----1.00-----------------1.00
5th----.84------------------.83
rev----2.76-----------------2.37
5. the 05 has leather and im not a big fan on how the older Z's leather breaks in it looks very old and worn down. im not saying this to bash cause my 08 has leather and it is one of my biggest worries. my 05 was a enth and the seats always looked great even after driving it 43k miles.
but i gotta say my biggest thing is buying it from the nissan dealer and getting that warranty for a peace of mind. tell them 20k OTD dude they will do it. you can get a 08 enth brand new(NO MILES) for 24k OTD

For 2 thousand more, I would go with the 07. Your getting a better engine, Improved interior, better head and tail lights, better wheels, and several other cosmetic upgrades. I think its a nicer looking car.
