Default what kind of 350Z should I purchase

I was going to buy an Audi S5...then my stepfather died and I had to remodel my house to be able to move my mother in...I no longer can afford the S5 but still would like to get a sports car (toy more or less) for myself. I want to get a 350Z an 07 or 08 model. Would some one please help me I'm not sure of the difference in the nismo, roadster and touring? Or at least send me a link that I could read up on it for myself.
Thanks

Honestly, get at least a touring. I wouldn't get nismo, as I'd prefer to do mods myself. Best bang for buck i think is touring. Resale value will be much better on touring as well vs base,. Again it all depends where you're trying to buy from, dealer, local, wrecked, ebay? Kinda depends how much value you want to get for the buck, or if you want to mod it or not.

You should get an IS350. Screw the Z part.

Yea if you like the whole "evil" catfish look... I'd suggest a grand touring. If your not interested in not modding the car a Nismo would be nice.

I'd say gran touring over touring. Mainly for the brembos. And you could find one for about the same price as a touring
