We really wanted the Touring because of the sound system and the heated seats but we just can't find one with the right price. We found a really well priced base 2011 370Z with 12k miles. Its certified and the dealer upgraded the seats to leather and heated. What other things besides the sound system are involved with the Touring? I understand that the Touring has 8 speakers instead of 4. Would it be just as good to upgrade the 4 speakers aftermarket? Will 4 upgraded speakers (spending ~$500) be just as good as the 8 speakers that come with the Touring? Are there any other options that the Touring has that are really worth having? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

EDIT: Also, it doesn't come with nav. Would it be worth asking them to upgrade the nav or would it be better to get an after market one? Is there an aftermarket nav that's better than the OEM one, goes in that same spot and looks just as slick - or more so? Thanks.
A few things about your bose "upgraded system"

If you want the factory nav your going to have to get a z with it, you would have to replace a great deal of stuff to the point it would not be worth it to get the stock nav installed. Basically it can not be done.

Second a lot of people will chime in saying that the bose system is actually worse than the base system. I agree. And no matter which one you get a new head unit and a set of aftermarket speakers will blow both systems out of the water.

My advice get the upgraded heated eats if you want them and invest in a good aftermarket system. If you search the audio section you will find a lot of threads asking what to get. That is where I would start.

Also here is some more info on the bose system, pretty big pain to upgrade.

What to know about Bose
