Well, I don't pretend to know all there is to know about selling new cars but from my standpoint, the buyer, I'm damned if I'd buy an '09 for $500 below invoice when I can buy a '10 for right at invoice (or even a hundred or so below it). I don't care if the mileage and usage are equal, the depreciation in value is my concern. (Plus the few extras in the '10 that the '09 doesn't have)
If someone were going to interest me in a "year-old Z", it would have to be a carrot of around $1500-$2000 because that's the hit I'm going to take for it being a year old.
