But here's what's weird - the difference in price is ~$600 between the two. That seems a little high for the 2013 model and makes me inclined to buy the latest and greatest. I know they dropped the base price by ~$3,000 for 2014, but that still seems pretty high for what's last year's model just collecting dust in someone's car lot.
But then I've read that the Tokyo Motor Show is next week and Nissan will unveil the next generation body type. So ruthless cheapskate that I am when it comes to major purchases like this, I'm planning on waiting to see what it looks like and what its specs are before pulling the trigger. After all, what's another week after waiting this long?
Am I crazy? Let me know. My guess is that there ought to be at least a $2K-$3K difference between buying a current model and the previous year's.

There should be a price drop coming after the Tokyo Show announcement, assuming it's a positive reaction. I'd certainly wait until after that and see what's up, poke around here for other experiences, etc.
Based on salse figures ( Nissan 370Z Sales Figures - GOOD CAR BAD CAR ), the Z is surprisingly holding it's own the last few months, despite an announcement on the horizon. It's possible dealers can still sell these cars at current prices. It's one of the unpredictable variables with a low production model. Even if they're not selling madly, they don't necessarily need to sell madly. And it's a car that always looks damn good on the lot.
Lastly, if you have the money to jump into the market for a new Z, you can demand the body color you want.  Don't settle!
