Is getting a '13 Nismo Z over a '12 really worth it?

If he takes a major hit because of changing the rim color then he changed it to something that no one wants.

Also, you better check that math on what 3.9% costs over 5 years on $40k. You are a million miles off. $40,000 at 3.9% for 5 years is $4091 in interest. How does that work into your calculation?

Maybe the math isn't perfect. I'm not going to back track a math error right now since you seem to have that shyt in a smash. But, you're telling me, I can improve the value on my car by altering its OEM state if I powedercoat to an unoriginal color "if" that rim color is in fashion??? That's a first.

Sketchy math or not. The reality is you lose some value buying the 12. There's no way around that. And I stick by buying with what you want because you pay out somewhere regardless when you buy on the cusp of 2 model years. The best deal is the one you can make on the car you really want. Cuz if you regret later? You will lose regardless... that was my real point in the math.

Probably best not to use math to prove a sentimental point.

I agree he should get what he wants. OP's the one that's going to be stuck with the car for X amount of years he might as well like. You can't really put a price on buyer's remorse. Be honest with yourself and know what you're willing to live with and give up on vs. the cost saving benefits.
