Thanks again for all of the replies guys.
I looked around and while I was really hoping to get an 07, they're just too overpriced in my area ($22K for a base...) and owners with Enthusiast/Touring models are asking $28-30K for 2007 models.
Long story short, I purchased a 2005 PPW 6MT 350Z - Touring model today. It is completely stock, has 40K miles on it. I ended up getting a pre-purchase inspection done on it at Nissan and it all checked out so I couldn't be happier! Only crappy thing was I ended up getting stuck trying to get into my driveway since we still have some snow on our side roads, all is well though as it's safe in my driveway now and won't be driven again until our roads are better.
Here's one picture the previous owner took, I'll get some more once it's nicer outside.

Good looking Z! Love the "snow white" Z! Mine is ppw too so I am partial.
I hope you don't later regret not going for at least the Rev up, or HR. I drove my buddy's 06 ZR and even the rev up didnt pull anywhere NEAR as hard as my 08 HR.
BUT, bright side is any z thats not riced out or smashed is a good car and I feel lucky to drive any year!
Way to take the plunge! Good job on the touring modle with pretty darn low miles!

I wish I could have gone for a newer model, I really wanted an 07 for the HR but I couldn't really afford more than the base model, and honestly, I really like the extra features of the other trims haha
Also, financially the 05 made more sense as I'm saving up money for a house as well
