What are the main differences between each model of 350? What model would you go with? Is the Track edition worth the price of it? Also, would you look for a used one or just go new?

I'd kind of prefer new so I know exactly what this car will have gone through from the start. Also this car will be a summer cruiser....no winter driving and no regular driving to work(have my truck for that). Also when's the best time to buy?.....I should be able to buy starting the beginning of summer '06. I'm just doing my research now, so when the time comes, I'll have my mind made up and it will just be time to get a great deal. This will be my early graduation gift to myself.

Thanks a lot for the help guys. I'll have to take your advice and look at other cars, then make a decision when the time comes.

Good to see you here asking questions about the 350z!

There are a bunch of ways to go when getting a 350z.Check out the Nissan site to find out which options that you must have.http://www.nissanusa.com/vehic....html

I got my 350z New just over a year ago. I wanted a new one for the same reason that you are thinking about it, I wanted to break it in myself. I also only drive mine when the weather is good or if there is a Nico meet that I must go to.

IMO the Enthusiast 6-spped is the way to go. I like the HID's and LSD.

The Track is good to get because of the Brembo's. I would like to upgrade my brakes one day and break upgrades cost out the butt. The only problem is getting a Track at a good price.

The Touring gets you leather and the Bose.

The 05 350z Track and Anniversary is getting more HP but less TQ so thats kinda a wash.

Ask lots of questions and find out what you want.

Good Luck and check out the Z car picture thread...http://www.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=83061

Right now I'm considering a few cars....will all depend on what one I can get the best deal on and which one feels the best for me.

So far the list is:Subaru WRX STIMitsubishi Lancer Evolution Nissan 350zPontiac GTOHonda S2000

Good Choices.

Check out my thread "One Year with my 350z"http://nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=94257

I went through some of those as well before I got my Z.

I read that.....the only one I've driven from the list is the S2000, and I didn't get it up into the VTEC range, so it didn't really impress me for the money.

The GTO is just impressive with the power numbers for the price and pontiac usually has great incentives.....but can I buy a Pontiac??

I pretty much will have to go drive them and see which I like the best.

Any time of the year to get the best deal, or just really depends?

Out of that list, I would drive the GTO, but I'm partial to american muscle. I'vealways wanted a 5.0. Hopefully my 240 will sell so I can finally have one.

The Best time of the year to buy is Dec.(Most people think that anyway)

The GTO is nice but looks are kinda bland and the wheels sux IMO.
