350z roadster - - - - heat in cabin? by superleggera

Hi everyone - You guys seem to have a lively forum. Nice to see Z owners are so passionate. I have been looking for a second "weekend fun" car for some time now and finally settled on a Z. I've found a 2004 Touring roadster with 25k on the odo. It's in good shape overall. I have two questions:
 
1) When I test drove it, I felt like there was heat seeping into the cabin (with the top down) while driving on the freeway. It was after a very hot day, but had cooled down in the evening - during my short drive. I couldn't localize where the heat was coming from and *NO* I didn't accidentally turn on the seat heater (I checked). Has anyone experienced this problem? What's the cause? Should it prevent me from buying car?
 
2) Best price for private party deal? Asking is $29,900. After looking at used inventory, Edmunds, KBB, NADA, I have an idea what I should pay, but would like to hear your opinions on a good deal, considering a major model change may be close at hand.
 
Thanks!!

Touring means there's a leather interior, right? Is it black?
 
The black interior of my car heats up really fast (I have a 2005 Redline touring roadster, carbon leather seats). I bought a couple of inexpensive terry-cloth seat liners (sort of like a poncho for your seats) to use here at the beach. Protects the leather from sand and sun-tan oil, and keeps it a bit cooler.
 
That black leather may have been the source of the heat you felt.
 
If not, check the heating controls carefully. If the temperature knob was turned to 75 or higher, and the other knob turned to "auto," it may have been sending out warm-ish air. On your next test drive make sure temp is set to 72 or below, or else turn the "auto" knob to off, and see if you still have a problem.
