2012 vs. 2013 buying Q's

Get a 2012 with everything you want, then haggle as I did. My 2009 in 2010 was $32,900 and fully loaded. That was $7400 off sticker. I have used the NAV twice for real. I did not pay for it so who cares.

That's the way I was in my G37s. Nav was useless to me. I always know where i'm going. lol Music box was kool, but redundant when you have an ipod or iphone where you can stream. If Tx offered discounts like that on Z's I may have said Fk it and went fully loaded. Here, only G's get discounts and not as deep as when I bought mine. Z's you negotiate from MSRP or slightly over and hope you can negotiate your own discount. Which I was successful.

I've never used my NAV, but it looks completely pimp sitting there, and I'll own it---this car is about want, not need. Same as my Z06 before it. I wanted what I want and screw anything else. Get it if you want it, don't if you don't. Rationalize it with want not dollars. You forget the money as soon as you're off the lot, anyway.

I generally don't buy shyt I don't use though. Even if there is an inherent pimp factor to having it. The extra $7k can be better used in mods or going on vacation or home improvement.

I bought my '09 brand new at end of November '09 for $700 under invoice as I figured it. I was fortunate because it was exactly the car I wanted and same car as the 2010's. I used the savings to buy a Katzskins leather interior and ClearBra. I guess it's all in the timing. Just be sure you're thrilled with the car you buy. You don't want to do this over again in a year. You'd really take a financial beating if you did that.
