Default Trying to ID a model.

Guy posts a 2004 Z (MT) on Craigslist as a Touring, but it doesn't have leather or a Bose radio. It does have cruise controls on the steering wheels and 17" wheels. He tells me the previous owner said it was a Touring.

I call local Nissan with VIN and guy says it's a Base model. I then read on here that both Enthusiast and Performance models show up in their system as base.

So I'm now 99% sure it's an enthusiast.......................UNTIL I call my credit union for loan approval. I give them the VIN and it comes up as a Touring.

How can I find out for certain?

Carfax report shows nothing as to the model/trim.

BTW, the VIN indicates it's a 2004.5, if that helps.

It's not a touring if it doesn't have leather, bose, and heated seats. It is probably an enthusiast because the performance's had VDC instead of TCS and 18 inch wheels instead of 17's.

Photos are helpful. I can tell better if I see the stuff. Interesting that you post a description but no link?
