First kudos for attempting to be fiscally prudent. Very un-american of you.

May I suggest waiting a year, and saving some cash aside. If you are in the same financial position, the note will be a lower nut to carry.

You also should look used IMHO to further offset depreciation. The Z is not super rare you just have to be patient and a bit flexible. Rates are not going to skyrocket in a year...good used car rates are 2-3%.

Its OK to want something, and having goals and working for them are rewarding. A year ago my wife and I shopped for our used Z and picked up a loaded roadster with 2500 miles on it, saving a bit of cash. New even with 0% financing at the time would have run us 20% more.
