Default Question about this 350z im looking to buy

I'm going to look at this 2006 350z over the weekend. I was just looking over the pictures and noticed that it doesnt have Brembo brakes, although its listed as a Grand Touring edition. From everything I read they should come standard on the Grand Touring editions correct? Any way I'm a little confused on this. Any info would be great. Here's the link to the ad. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...standard=false

Thanks!

Either one of two things happened. The guy bought a grand touring and sold the brembos and put on stockers. Or the guy got a Touring with a navigation. It was an option to just add the navi to a touring.

I've seen several listed as Grand Touring w/out the Brembo's but you are correct in stating that the Brembo's are one of the defining factors between Touring and GT. I haven't found a real way to confirm a GT model, but I'm guessing they're listing it as "Grand Touring" b/c it has navigation, aftermarket wheels, and you'll never be the wiser.

If you like that you should look at my listing on eBay... Item# 170390851295. The reserve is set just below $25,000. You will be getting way more car with less miles. You can reach me at j.erjavic@zoominternet.net with any questions you might have. Good Luck!!!

Thanks for the input everyone. This is the first one I will be looking at, found a couple more I may take a look at as well.

Thats a very nice Z. A little out of my price range, but thank you for the offer.

No way that is a Grand Touring. I don't care if it came off the line as one, it isn't one now and should not be priced as such. Not only is it missing the Bembos, it doesn't have the GT wheels. They look much better than the ones in the pics. That model never came standard with navigation. It was an option.

I bought my 06 GT back in December with 16k miles for what they are asking. [/LIST]

Did you find a 350Z within your budget?
