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...

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

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.

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.

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. |

Sorry but 2013 looks terrible with those wannabe stunna LEDS and giant gaping manta ray mouth. It stands out in a worse way |
