Hello All
I have been looking to trade in my 2006 350Z for a new Vette. I found a 2012 coupe 1LT for 47K and a 2011 2Lt for 48K. I know about some of upgrades in the 2lt, however was wondering if it is worth the difference? and for going for a year older. I was thinking I can have a bluetooth and nav installed if I got the 1Lt.

live in San Antonio and having a hard time finding "the one" with everything I want for the right $$$.

was hoping someone could offer some advise

Thanks!!!

Still some 2010's out there also, if you dont mind the depreciation. Might get a great bargain.

Sit in both and let your butt decide. The seats are the most significant difference and have changed quite a bit in the '12 models. After sitting in a few of the new ones at our local dealer last week I think I actually prefer the old school seats in my '11.
