I have been looking for a 2010 370Z Touring with Sport, Navigation and Automatic, and working on trading in my car. I wanted Black on Black, and ideally the Nismo brake pads. There isn't one available nearby, and shipping is about $800 for the one available.

Suddenly a 2009 370Z Black with Persimmon Touring with all options except brake pads is available used at my local dealer. It has 19,000 miles and they are asking $33K.

It has a few paint chips (to be expected) but some in unusual (to me) places: right side rear fender and top of passenger mirror housing.

Also, there are some creases in the driver's outside bolster which are much darker orange and very obvious. And some dirty smudges, but I hope that would clean off.

I use an iPhone, so I know I would need the charging adapter for it.

Can anyone compare the Navigation and iPhone interface differences from 2009 to 2010? The model year differences post leaves out too many details.

Does anyone know if the rumored (by Edmunds) running change to quiet the car by insulating the air extractors is real?

The oil was changed by the dealer at 3,333 then 10,185 then 15,757 and the dealer just changed it, so hopefully that means it was never using oil between changes.

What else should I be checking when I look at it?
