2012 vs. 2013 buying Q's
 

I'll soon be in the market for a 370Z. With 2012 Z's becoming a MUST sell for most dealerships...what are your opinions on trying to get a good deal on a 2012 and drive it off the lot, versus buying a 2013 with slightly higher MSRP.

I love the new front bumper redesign on the 2013, but would most owners here just opt for the cheaper 2012? It's essentially the same car in the end correct?

2013
 

I bought mine a few weeks ago, Started out looking at a 2012 and ended up with a 2013...when I asked why ...he told me they could work a better deal on the 2013..which was fine with me because I liked the color better...Still don't know the reason behind it...

See this is odd I thought it was the other way around. I guess it depends on whos willing to work with you.

I would probably go with the 2012 but it depends on what you really want.

I picked up my 2012 about 6 weeks ago. I purposely wanted a '12 over a '13 based on looks. A bonus was they were offering 0% financing on 2012's:happydance:

Cant go wrong either way. Whatever is a better deal is a better deal. I like the 13' look a bit better but if its not financially sound then forget it.

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.

Get exactly what you want.

coltrain, I got the 13 because I could get exactly what I want. The dealers had a couple of 12's but not with the right color or options.

Could I have gotten one of those 12's cheaper? Yes; but would I have been satisfied with my purchase? The answer for me would be no.

Like you, I preferred the front bumper of the 13 and was 50/50 on the rims (I got the spt pkg), but now I prefer the 13 GM colored rims also (plus red clipers are sweet). When you're alongside 09-12's, yours will stand out (in a good way)!

Whether you buy a 12 or 13, you'll be spending a lot of money either way, so get what you want. There has not been a single day since I bought my car where I regretted buying a 13. But I know there would have been regret, if I paid well over $30K for a car I didn't really want just to save a few bucks.

Other than looks, the 13 does have the euro tuned suspension on the sport pkg.

Good luck on your decision.

:iagree:

Money's never been an issue for me when buying a car. If I want a "new" car, I'll usually order exactly what I want.

Sorry but 2013 looks terrible with those wannabe stunna LEDS and giant gaping manta ray mouth.

It stands out in a worse way

:wtf2:

I agree with everyone on here... get what you want! I personally like the fangs. But if you like the new 2013s front... get what you like.

I did opt for the 2012 but I'm not a huge fan of the new bumper. I say if you're really high on the design changes, go for the 2013. If you're just middle of the road, save yourself a few grand and pickup the 2012. You can find some killer deals right now and there's still plenty of stock. If your local dealer doesn't have what you want, see if they're willing to ship something to them. That's what mine did. I found the one I wanted in another city and had my dealer ship it here for me. It only cost me $300 (I paid invoice on the car) and I got exactly what I wanted.
