Hi everyone,

I just registered to the forum but I have been reading many many posts from this site and it has been very helpful.

I will be looking into purchasing a 370z in December. I know Nov-Dec is a good time to make deals with the dealers but I was wondering if I should be asking for 2011 or 2012? I know the new model will have minor changes but if I do get 2011, will I be saving a lot? I mean if there are still dealerships with brand-new 2011 models, will I be able to purchase it well below invoice?

I was very close to buying a WRX about a month ago but due to some complications, I ended up not getting it. But what I realized from many dealerships is that they use the excuse of WRXs being "rare" and "hard-to-come-by" due to the tsunami in Japan and high demand. Is this the same case for 370z? And even if it's brand new, will 2011 370z considered a year "depreciated" since the new models will be coming out?

I am just confused because in Dec, the new models will be coming out and there would be more of 2012s than 2011s, so...technically the new models should be cheaper(?) since there are more of them.

I've read many posts on how to buy/negotiate the car, so I am aware of what I should be careful of and not to fall for dealers traps.

By the way, I still haven't decided whether or not I should get the sports package. I know they are well worth it for its price, but a couple of grand is a lot for me and I am fine with just the base model. I won't be racing or modding if anyone's wondering.
