I had a 13 model on order since first week of December 12 with a tenative build date of late Feb. Dealer called and said build date got slid to second quarter as the dealer allotment was full (wish they told me earlier..). Anyway with the wife driving my big block suburban until delivery time I went on hunt. In stock 350s were hard to find equipped like i wanted, especially needed a hitch but did not want 30k in options.
Then while out at dinner with the wife I saw a awesome silver 11 model behind the infinity dealer, it had just been traded in. 18 months old and 27k of highway miles, owner commuted 180miles twice a week. So clean i literally could not tell from new, interior was immaculate. Made a quick cash deal for 49k, saved 28k from my new one and besides lacking 55ft.lbs of torque felt like i got a good deal. Super car with full documentation.
