To buy or not to buy?

Hey guys new to the forum I've been thinking about trading in my 08 accord coupe for a brand new 2010 370ZR the local dealership has. They have had the car for about 3 years and it has about 800 miles on it i'm guessing due to test drives.

I spoke to a car salesman yesterday and test drove it and it's freaking awesome compared to my accord. I've been wanted to get rid of it for awhile as I bought it when I was home for R&R from Afghanistan and after being home since September I realized the I4 just wasn't enough power or fun for me I feel like driving is bland and is just way to boring. Also customization options are limited so I feel like it was just a bad fit for me.

I'm just wondering if it is worth it. I can pay the monthly payment at almost 700 a month @4.59% for 72 months but they will only give me 10k for my trade in when I've seen my car sell for 19k (price I bought it) it was a real steal KBB says I should get at least 14k and Nissan sent me a little offer saying I could get 14k-16k to trade it in about a week ago.

I'm just worried that down the line a few months from now I'll get bored of it so I just wanted to get a few opinions of if I should just wait and save up and buy it later or if its really worth more or less starting for with nothing as far as debt payments this is the only major debt I pay have a gf but my income is going to be steady and I have very few expenses.
