I have a few questions and need some "groupthink"
1. If my car went into production on 3/14 do you think it'll be an '08 or an '09?
2. Is my thinking flawed that I want an '08? My logic is that the S5 is going to be a true "classic" and isn't it way better to own the inaugural year?
3. And finally, what is the economic value of: a) getting an '08 instead of an '09 (assuming my logic is valid), plus; b) having slipped into a spot in the queue on 3/10, which was originally ordered on 10/29/07, and which was released to production on 3/14, and which is scheduled to arrive at the dealer on 7/7?
The reason I ask #3 is because I know I'm going to end up paying a premium to keep this spot. Dealer wants $5K and I'm sure I can negotiate that down, but doubt I can get it to $0.... At what $ level should I walk? At what $ level should I buy? This is really an ego and emotional issue - I could afford the extra $5K if I had to.
Looking forward to your input!
