Clutch

Hey guys, I've been following this forum for awhile now but just now recently decided to join because the time for me to get my 370 is getting closer. I've been doing research on prices and I'm a little stuck on what year model to get. I know the 2012 is coming out soon and I probably won't get it because it'll be the most expensive. I recently spoke to a dealer about a 2011 base with sports package and he said it would estimate to about 40k with taxes and such, and with good credit it'll probably be about 550 a month. My question is, would that be best ? Would it be better to get a 2009 or 2010 ? If so, how much cheaper are they than the 2011 and how do the year models differ ?

I'm planning to get the car next year spring, and I'm looking forward to becoming part of this community, so thanks for anybody's help. By the way , feel free to post how much you paid for your 370 and in what year. Thanks
