i am new to this forum and i was wondering if anyone can give me some advise on buying the 350. i am looking to buy a 2005 enthu. but am also willing to consider the base as well. A dealer today offered a 2004 base (manufactured in 7/04) for $1000 below msrp. do you guys think this is a good deal? should i go with this deal or should i just go with the 2005 enthusiast? (By the way, 2004 enthusiasts, new, are very hard to find here.) i kinds want the lsd and xenon but i dont think i can get as good of a deal with the 2005 versus the 2004.
One more quiestion: what exactly is "traction control"...does having a lsd imply that u have traction control? thanks. great forum.

Get the Enthusiast; you get a bunch of goodies for extra 2 grand.
If the dealer claims he can't find an Enthusiast, go to the dealer search on the Nissan site.

I looked at the inventory of 2/3 of Cali dealers before finding the car I wanted at a dealer 300 miles away. Bouught the car.

Also, go to the Nissan site to research all the differences between models.

Yes, you will spend more for 05 than 04 but worth it. Issue, imo, is not which year but which model. If I had to choose between 05 Base & 04 Enthusiast, I'd take the 04 in a heartbeat.

I'm not the guy to explain tech differences but LSD is independent of TCS.
