Hi,
For the people who have traded their coupe for a spider, how bad a hit did you guys take?
Did the dealer give you a fair price to buyback your car? Im asking because Im looking to get a 2012 coupe, but the more i watch the spider vids, im getting worried i may regret not getting a spider now. BUt there isnt much discounts on the spiders and I doubt the 2012 coupes will depreciate anymore then it already has (at least I hope now). I plan on keeping the car so was wondering if its best to wait till next year and see how much the spider may depreciate or just buy the coupe now and if i really want the spider then to just trade for a spider. The price difference I see now between 2012 used coupe and 2013 used spider is about $80k. If i buy coupe now and decide to buy trade in for a spider next year, will i take a loss of more then 80k? If not, then I fell safe to buy the coupe now first and see how the spider does next year or after. If I wait till next year, it will be harder to find a decent 2012 coupe with low miles if I decide to stay with a coupe. Am i crazy or have others gone through this process when they are deciding on a car? Ive had t-tops, on 2 previous cars which ive never really removed (maybe cuz its a pain to put on and take offf). But I also didnt really like the attention so it usually stayed on. Wife on the other hand loves the convertible. She says, "if youre going to spend that kind of money, get a convertible!" Also, after being in my friends convertible MB, it was pretty nice (it wasnt an exotic so not much attention there). I find my taste may be changing as well so maybe within 5 yrs, my taste will change as well. I do find it very convinent you can just press a button to open up the top. btw, i do LOVE star gazing! Looking up at the stars really calm my nerves for some reason. Unfortunately, lots of light polution where im at. The damn spider is starting to really grow on me. Damnit!
