2012 vs. 2013 buying Q's

Magic Bus

JungleZ, It's cool with me if you prefer the 12 to the 13 as we're all entitled to our opinions. But can we stay on topic and try to give the OP some constructive advice and not speak negatively of other Z enthusiasts cars?

If I'm spending ~$35K or more...I might as well just get what I want. Good advice.

I think the only 2009-2012 370Z I'd get would be the 40th anniversary edition. The red leather can't be beat...unless I get a 2013 with Persimmon yum...

How are the LED's wannabe? Nissan wants to be who?

And the bull dog teeth are more attractive?

Money's never been an issue for me when buying a car. If I want a "new" car, I'll usually order exactly what I want.

I agree with everyone on here... get what you want! I personally like the fangs. But if you like the new 2013s front... get what you like.

I did opt for the 2012 but I'm not a huge fan of the new bumper. I say if you're really high on the design changes, go for the 2013. If you're just middle of the road, save yourself a few grand and pickup the 2012. You can find some killer deals right now and there's still plenty of stock. If your local dealer doesn't have what you want, see if they're willing to ship something to them. That's what mine did. I found the one I wanted in another city and had my dealer ship it here for me. It only cost me $300 (I paid invoice on the car) and I got exactly what I wanted.

I wish I had held out for the '13 so I could get the color combo I wanted with the persimmon interior. Also, so I could whine about not holding out for the '14...

What do they say about opinions being like butt holes?

Nevertheless here is mine.

I like the fangs. The new front end is super sexy, and even reminds me a bit of an Austen Martin (especially in silver), but I like the quirkiness of the fangs. They are a bit oddball and to my mind that makes them kind of "retro cool".

He's in NY right?

Out of 6 dealerships within 25-50 miles of me, there seems to be only 2 2012s left and both are roadsters..

LakeShow

I believe he has 2 2012 coupes left. Check their inventory or just give him a phone call.

Sent him a PM.. the one coupe I want in Mont Blue is a 2009 Touring auto priced at 29k with 21K miles.. not sure if thats really that good of a deal or not.. gut is telling me its a tad high - but I'm still new at the Z pricing so any help would be great.

LakeShow

Mate, look at the pricing in the 370z For Sale section of the forum. Look at the going rate for perspective miles and years. You may even find a great deal there from someone desperately looking to get rid of it. For 09's I would look closer to 25k. You can even find 2010's for incredible deals also. Check eBay, cars.com, Craigslist. You never know what you'll find plus you'll get a rough idea of what certain years and amount of mileage are worth in respect to the Z.

I think your idea of this is a bit wrong. I manage to get my 2013 with everything I wanted for invoice. For 2012 you may not get what you want but it can be hassled lower then invoice I think. Also the are quite a few differences from the 12 n 13 so you may want to look over that.
