09 or 10

[jayl]

Hi,

I am getting a 09 at v good price (sports package)... I am trying to think since its an 09 has it been sitting at the dealer for almost 6 months + ?

If this is the case should I just get a '10 for similar pricing w/out sports package ?

What is your advice?

Thanks,

If it's already june this year, I'd say wait a few more months and see what kind of specials you'll get on a 2010 when the 2011's come out, or perhaps even look at a 2011 yourself...

Really? I thought the next years models usually showed up on lots at the end of Sept/Oct timeframe? Have you looked into going into a dealer and Ordering one specifically?

I have not looked at ordering one specifically... wouldnt that be more $$$? I am hoping to spend < 275xx.

Usually the next year's models start showing up at the end of this year. Generally, this is why it's terrific to shop for a car in Nov/Dec. You can't tell me that the '10 sitting next to the '11 is going for as much. There's a year of depreciation plus the cost in tax to keep it on the lot past '10.

But if you really can't wait past 2 months, that doesn't do you a heap of good.

If you order one, you might be able to get a 2010 for that price at the end of the year...? Look into it, that way you guarantee you can get exactly what you want...

if you're looking for the base with sport package, get the 09 with the bargin price and install your own cabin filter to update to 10.

You could get a hell of a deal in a leftover 09! I would not even worry about the cabin filter.

The only other major difference I know of is heated mirrors right? Is that really important to you? If not, sure get the 09, and use the leftover cash for mods...

I'd say get it, and enjoy it. Id rather have it and it be a little more than I need, then not get it and wish I had...

DAMNIT i just realized that when the 2011's come out all of our cars will be rendered obsolete and we will need to buy a new one.

GET the sports packages... There's a hellava lot to be said for the big brakes, and the 19" wheels and tires... Comparatively the wheels alone KILL the base model 18s... But, if you are going to put on aftermarket wheels no matter what model you get - than it all comes down to brakes and you are back to - Your Call man....
