I got the Base and added gorgeous Katzkin perforated leather seats afterward---saved a fortune by avoiding the Touring Package..

Just get the base... 90% of dealerships will add the leather seats for $1100. (@ least that's the price been quoted to me) Then get the $320 home link mirror. And then get an aftermarket hatch cover at a custom shop about 500. And u save $1800 and u have the bulk of the touring options without the bose.

You can buy a BASE + SPORT and just have the dealer install the leather seats as an option? I was not aware that you could do that.

When I bought an 04 350z I had the touring model for the leather. Knowing I was going to upgrade the audio I just gutted it and boxed it up. I actually sold it on Ebay for 400 bucks.
Installed aftermarket system and ran all new speaker wire.

I would suggest you do the same.

or

Do as I did this time:

Buy the Sport/ Base model
Upgrade your system with a quality audio system
Upgrade to a quality aftermarket leather

You will spend about 4k on those extras which is what the touring upgrade is and your system will blow the Bose away.

I guess ill be going with the touring + sport.. I was trying to save myself some time and money by not having the Bose system.. Oh well.. I dont really see a buyer actually wanting to buy the bose system when i pull it out of the car.. but we'll see when i buy it... I plan on keeping the car forever...

Just out of curiosity what can i expect when i sell the Bose Speakers + Head Unit w/6 disc changer + Front trim + Sub??

Thanks for everyone's help...

Actually, just a tangent to your question, is there away to get the head unit to run on AC power? i wouldn't mind trying to turn the bose unit into a sound system for a room... I think that could be quite cool and different...

Yeah I have to agree with you that it's not all it was cracked up to be. I do like my sound, at home I use Audio Technica and Denon headies and have an amp and seperate CD player setup.

This was my first car with a non-generic sound system and i was very underwelmed.

yeah you can turn any head unit into a home radio.. im not sure of the part you need but it converts 120v to 12v.. ive done it before but it was about 5 years ago and forgot what parts i used.. it was at a mobile electronics school in new jersey..

edit : kinda looked like this

No highs, no lows, must be Bose.
