Default Which Z should i buy?

I've been searching for a 350z for a couple weeks now and I've come across these two below. Can anyone tell me their thoughts and opinions about the price for the mileage? Also, is there anything I should be worried about in buying one of these?

1st one is not a touring - no stereo controls on the steering wheel. I would check it out in person to see what kind of bodykit that is, could be cheap ED crap. Definitely not adm nismo side skirts.

2nd one is a touring - looks pretty stock except for the painted wheels, $500 cheaper but 20k miles more.

Personally, I would lean towards the 06, since its atx no consumption issue, and it is a touring (the 05 I think is an enthusiast) and looks to be stock, with only 1 owner (05 had 4).

I would definitely see them in person and have a certified mechanic check them out to see if there are any issues.

But I would think you could find lower mileage z's for the same $ or less.

The '05 IS a Touring actually. The audio control were added after '06. It does have the Bose HU, Leather seats as well as heated seats which are all standard for Touring in '05.

The 05.
Its hard to tell from the pics,but the mods appear to be well done.
Anything done on the engine?
Of course,driving the car is the make or break factor.

Did you offer $13495 as I suggested?
Did the seller accept your offer?

You see thats the key. Sellers like money. They are not accepting cows anymore.
