Hi. Long time lurker, first time poster. I totaled my previous car last week, looking to pick up a Z Roadster.

A dealership 100 miles away has a 2011 Roadster with Touring & Sport package on the lot with 15 miles on it that I can drive away tomorrow.

Or I can order a 2013 Roadster, also Touring & Sport Package, and wait 3-4 months for delivery. The local dealership has offered a {crappy but free} loaner for the whole time if I order the new one since I'm car-less at the moment.

The 2011 is 15% cheaper, with the benefit of immediate delivery, but of course it's 2 years older, so when I go to sell it will have lower trade-in value.

I would be interested in your thoughts on this decision. Thanks in advance.
