I say get a 2006 if you can. Oil consumption aside (I say take the risk.), and look for a 2006, you can get a good deal with low miles and warranty still intact for one of them.

If you're under warranty, first thing you would want to do with the Z is run it through the oil consumption TSB, there is already one out. Just go to the dealer and tell them you want to run their TSB. If they deem it's burning enough oil, you will get a new motor.
