If I was in your shoes I would buy the roadster since I am really not liking the 2013 model. But its really up to you, do you want the roadster or do you want to wait for a 2013 model.

At the end of the day its your money, spend it how you want to and feel is good to you.

Yeah. I really like ny Z now, I always baby it, first car I ever bought myself. Still deciding if I should buy the roadster and make payments again. Probably see if I get a good deal. If I do then here comes financing again.

The dealer where I'm ask is offering me 41 before tax. 2012 Roadster Pearl White + Touring & Sport. Trying to see if I could get it out the door for 40-42K.

MSRP almost 47999.

If you are calling the '13 model ugly. I agree but I like the fangs and Rays wheels on the '09-'12. Now if you dont like the addition the LED's on the front bumper that is one thing. But if you are driving around with blacked out fangs on your '09-'12 then how can you hate what they did? They saved you a step. It seems some of the things incorporated into the '13 came from this forum. Blacked out fangs....blacked out guage...painted calipers...SS lines etc. But unfortunately there is nothing you can do with what they did to the Rays wheels on the sport package. I really dislike the change and would have to go aftermarekt immediately.

Back on track......I say trade it in if you really want the roadster. Just make sure the deal makes sense to you. Don't get upside down in something to make a quick change.

No worries whoady

Regarding the negative comments towards your car, I definitely would not be one saying that. Nismos are sweet

If I were in your shoes I would buy the 2012 just for 0% financing and the fangs!

I say, sell it on your own, I think you can get 3 grand more even with the scratch.

Where I live when you trade your car of lesser value to a dealership for another car of a higher value you only pay taxes on the difference in price which is another thing to consider.

If they offer you 22k for yours and want 40k before taxes on the roadster you should only be paying the difference in price on taxes (18k), and taxes should be around $1,000ish instead of selling yours outright for say 24k and then paying full sales tax on 40 grand which in Texas is 6.25% and I'm sure it's close, if not the same where you live so you would be paying roughly $2,500 in tax on the car instead of $1,000 if you were to trade in.

Just wanted to throw that out there because I have considered swapping for another Z in the past but it was a private seller and I would have to pay taxes on 30k+ all over again..... Pointless

Hope this helps you in your decision
