Spyder Dilema
I'm new here and now confused. I initially thought I would look for a new or slightly used 2012 coupe. I actually put a deposit down on a 12 coupe and was ready to purchase. The car was out of state and a member kindly went and looked at the car for me and I decided to back out for a variety of reasons. Since then I have had the chance to drive a spyder and a coupe back to back, both fantastic cars, and realized the experience is just enhanced with the top down. I previously considered the spider to be above my preset budget of 220k.
Since then I looked at the closest dealers website (100 miles away) and found 3 spyders that seemed to be sitting since January, April, and May. I just had a thought, why not wait a few months till winter kicks in, hoping the spyder prices would come down to hopefully 250k or so. If they don't at minimum I may have some luck with left over 2013 coupes. The more I learn about these cars my impression is the newer the car the less likely you are to have issues. No matter how minor the issues, when your closest dealer is 100 miles away, they can become a serious annoyance.
I guess I'm wondering if my thought process is reasonable? Am I just wasting time by waiting till winter and missing out on owning one of these incredible cars? Will spyder prices come down to a price point I can reasonably afford in the near and not too distant future? My preference would be to hold out for a spyder if possible.
