You pretty much already have a new car with only 4200 miles on it.
The 2016 will have a few more features and will smell new.
What I see is you paying 20 grand to store your car for 2-3 years so someone else can buy it at a great deal used
Now if there is something wrong with your car or you just dont like it then thats a different story. If you are worried about warranty running out buy an extended warranty for a couple grand.
A 'good' deal is what you are happy with and how much your time is worth to you. Good luck.

Get the latest and see how many failures come with that. I have had none and I'm pushing over 600 horses to the wheels. Getting ready to add alky and cam. I'll take my chances..
Everyone cries about 1st gen releases but I se more about 16 and 17 cars about all their problems and it makes me smile

Interesting, and I have the same perception more and more these days. It's the same w/ my last car, a Jaguar F-Type. The first year (2014) was relatively bullet-proof, but the 16-17 owners are reporting more and more problems.
The dated popular wisdom about avoiding first-year models doesn't seem to hold much water these days. I'm also extremely happy w/ my zero-defect 2014.

Well many of you were right. Dealer called me and offered an amazing deal. 20 % off msrp and 53k for my trade 2014 3lt 7m. After much thought I decided to pass as I want a GS and will wait until next year. When it comes to a toy of that price I want what I really want.

Skippy - I think you made a great choice. I traded my '15 for a GS and even though I only have 500 miles on it thus far, I couldn't be happier. Now, the wait begins. The good news is my GS only took 5 weeks to arrive after I ordered it.
