Default Need advice on Z

Hiya,

Looking into the 2007 Enthusiast or base model. I've gotten a quote for 27k on the Enthusiast, base will be less of course. I'm not a racer, just wanna have fun. You think getting the LSD is the way to go? What is this traction control gizmo? Is $27k a good price?

I appreciate your advice.

You can take those offers or........look around for a enthusiast shouldn't be that expensive or maybe you can purchase thru Costco they have a arrangement with all the major manufacturers. Buddy from work picked up a Titan and saved approx 5Gs on the MSRP and the truck took about 3 weeks to deliver.

Welcome to the forum. LSD is kinda cool, but it really depends, your call.

I'm starting to think I should go with the base model. With that $1000 savings it would be a better investment in a quaife LSD than the VLSD.

That's a sweet price XstatiC! Who was the dealer?

9 out of 10 350Z drivers have LSD.
Considering that it is November, the chances of finding a 2007 Base are slim.

Are the HID lights and cruise control on the Base as well? It wasn't on the earlier models...

HID Bi-xenon lights becames standard on on models in 2006.

Base still doesn't have cruise control, VLSD, steering wheel audio controls, the cool auto dimming rear view mirror, home-link transceiver and the often debated traction control system(switchable); all of which come with the Enthusiast.

If you keep cars for any length of time, you won't regret getting the Enthusiast.
