That's the only major thing that is wanting me to wait.
I would just be gaining 3 months and a 2010 model if I wait. Since driving it in the winter in Chicago is out of the question.

It will greatly depend on how long you keep before selling. If you unloaded in 2yrs there will be a pretty big difference. Over time that will shrink considerably due to the +/- of mileage adjustments.

Using Edmunds for a 350Z base model, clean condition, black, no options, 85255 zip, trade-in value:

Sell in 2 Years
24K Miles (12K/yr - 2yrs)

2007 - $14,959
2006 - $14,212

$747 difference. Will be higher with more equipped car.

Sell in 5 Years
60K Miles (12K/yr - 5yrs)

2004 - $9,993 (-789 mileage adj.)
2003 - $10,099

-$106 difference

.

This analysis does not take into account price increases which will make the difference more in favor for the earlier model. For 09 to 10 the economy will drive for little increase but the Yen will drive for a large increase. Pull out your crystal ball.

Do what your heart tells you, I doubt if you will regreat the decision.
