Default Good buy?

Hey guys I plan on purchasing a 2005 350z black enthusiast model that has 68k miles 6spd clean title, all stock. Asking 11k in SoCal area. Its under kbb value but just wondering if it should be slightly lower.

OR

2006 touring 350z w/ 86k miles silverstone, few mods (stillen CAI, borla exhaust) everything else stock, clean title BUT Automatic for 11k.

Any advice would be appreciated!

some 2006 models have oil consumption issues, take it to nissan and have the full inspection done, it'll be worth it in the end (mine in VA was 80$ so idk what cali will cost). Don't rush into the buy, do your research first

yep I'm aware of the 2006 models having that issue.

I am leaning towards the 05 6MT for 11k with only 68k miles. Does that seem like a fair price though at 11k in the Socal area?

I had a mechanic check the car out, but wondering how does everyone verify if the car has all original parts like the hood, panels etc. (I'm use to the VIN stickers on Hondas).

06 autos did NOT have the revup motor. So no consumption issues.

But it's auto... I'd pass on both and get an 07 after saving a few grand more.
