i wouldn't, now if they were totally new body style and more performance i would consider...

No way. I would keep my baby running right and looking good and wait for the new one. Don't throw your hard earned money away.

Keep your present car. Put the "trade-up money" in a Roth IRA---so you'll be able to own and drive a late model Z even when you're old and retired like me!

I am old too, 64, and in my old age, I am going nuts about cars. Gotta control myself. In 2007, got a 2000 Celica GTS, traded it for 94 RX8, traded it for 2006 350z, traded it for 2009, RX-8, then traded that for 2010 Miata and now the 2010 370z.

Guess I wanted to drive all the cars I could not afford when younger. The 2010 370z is just a week old with me.

Oops, not 1994, 2004 RX 8
 

Which gave me lots of problems.

We came close to doing it, ours is a 2011 33k miles and the wife wanted a 2013 touring with sport package so she could have the leather, nav etc etc. In the end with all the incentives and pricing it still didnt make since. If this about next year same time I would have done it in a heart beat.


Oh and I understand the car thing, we have had 17 vehicles since we got married 12-1/2 years ago. If you can afford it then do it.

convince your wife to wait :D

Oil pan? You mean oil cooler?

OP here's some differences.

Depends on everything though!

I had a 09 WRX at like 6% interest, some negative from a trade in and a $509 payment. Car had 36,000 miles of 330hp 360tq.

I traded for 11 WRX, 2.9%, $413 payment, zero miles, new motor, new tranny, wide body kit, zero negative, and all parts converted over. Just for the 09 I paid $23,000 and traded it for $20,500 two years later plus the $1300 saved in tax savings.

I 100% would trade an old car in for a new one! specially if it doesn't cost much. Let's say its only a few grand to trade...where you gonna find a brand new motor for your old car for a few grand!!?? Plus a brand new tranny, clutch, flywheel, tires, rims, new paint job, etc etc. to make an old car look new and have new things you'd spend $20,000 easy.

And with the $3600 14 price drop the switch should cost zero outta pocket! Its a no brainer.

no

No, I would not. Its still essentially the same car.

I got a great deal on my 2012 Sport 7AT. I got an AT because my wife wanted to bent he work week driver and then two weeks ago she said she wanted me to give (read, she was taking) my 2012 4Runner. I prefer an MT where available, so did some looking and found the right dealership on the right day with the right incentives. For a couple $k, I got the transmission I wanted on a zero miles car with more time left on the warrantee. So, I did something similar to what you propose for for a few $k and am happy for it.
