Considering buying a 2006 350Z Touring
I actually purchased a 2005 350Z Touring about a month ago, but I brought it back after severe buyer's remorse (dumb I know). I've regretted it, and I have found another Z with low miles. It's a 2006 350Z Touring, one owner, 26k miles. The car is in mint condition, and the price is very favorable. I read on this forum about known oil consumption issues with the 2006 models. Is this issue prevalent enough to pass on buying this car? I appreciate everyone's advice!

Also I have another option in town. A 2007 Enthusiast with 40k miles. The sticker price is 20k. If I went with this option, instead of the 2006 what price should I be shooting for otd? I noticed the 2007 sticky, but it looks like it's quite outdated. Thanks again!

The dealer gave me 3 days to decide if I wanted the car. I can't explain why. The reason I decided to return the car was after reading this forum, and it had more to do with price than the actual car. I loved the car, but I felt like I could have done better regarding how much money I spent. Back to my original question....
-Are the oil consumption issues enough to completely avoid a 2006 Touring, even if the mileage is as low as 26k? What should range is a fair price otd?
-Is the 2007 enthusiast a better buy, even though it has 14k more miles on it? The starting price on the 07 is 2 thousand dollars higher... otd price range?
I know it boggles the mind that someone would return a car; I admit it was dumb, but it was influenced by a pushy manipulative dealer (as most are). I'd like to buy one of the two cars above, and I value the advice the members of this forum provide. I'll add pics of both soon.

I decided on the 2007 after reading about the rev up motor, and I like the color better. I attached a photo. They listed it at 20k. I'm shooting for 18k before TTL. Is this still too much for a enthusiast Z with 41K?
