Default Which clutch+flywheel before selling?

I'm currently deciding if it's financially smart to replace my badly slipping clutch before selling my '06 350z, and I'm wondering if there's a cheaper-than-OEM clutch+flywheel that fees similar to OEM?

You know (and I've said this a few times on the board,) my grandfather used to say, "Buying a used car is buying someone else's problem."

Rather than go cheap on the clutch, just drop the price $500 and tell the buyer that you've taken the cost of a new clutch into consideration when setting your price and that they'll be responsible for replacing it. That way, the buyer doesn't end up with garbage and it ends up costing you the same amount.

Fair enough, but I'm concerned because an OEM clutch+flywheel is ~$1500, and then there's labor ontop of that... much higher than $500..
