Good advice. Like I said, it's not something I need to do.
But I was also thinking that I plan on retiring about 6 years from now and wanted to maintain a kind of low mile truck on hand...
It's also that I'd be "losing" about 4 grand on trade-in from what I paid for the 2010 (36K MSRP got for 27K), but have to come up with about another 7-8 grand to get in this truck. My total $$ investment for this truck and the 2013 would still be less than the MSRP of the 2013 truck, 39K outlay for $41K MSRP on the 2013. So I wouldn't be upside down really.
$$ is not really the issue. I'm already pouring money into Roth, 401k, investments for retirement, so the money is something that likely will get spent on SOMETHING. If I just got rid of my cellphone bill, I wouldn't even notice it probably.
Also, I know that waiting longer may give deeper discounts perhaps, but also less choice of options/colors, etc.
As nice as it may sound, I think that it's moreso that it's just NEWER with a few more bells/whistles but not technically different. Not 7-8K worth of difference anyway. Better yet, I think I'll stand pat and put that extra $$ toward the ZL1 convertible fund instead.
Still, it's tempting.
