Default buying advice?

i'm thinking of buying a z, but i'm not sure yet if i want a new or used. i can afford either, but i havent decided on wether or not i want to spend THAT much on a car (cant take too much from the clothing budget ). i want to spend around 20-25,000.

anyways....is there a certain time of the year thats best for buying a car like this? i know with the winter coming up, that could be a problem...especially for driving a sports car.

any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!

yea, i know its probably wiser to buy used, but i've always wanted a brand new car though. but then, dont the z's start around $27k? if so, they may be a little out of what i wanted to spend. ugh, this is frustrating!!! i just want a car dammit!!

You can find a low milage 2006 with a warranty.

When is a good time to buy a 350Z? When there is a foot of snow on the ground of course.

that might be a good option. it just sucks because eastern ohio isnt the biggest market for sports cars so its kinda tough finding many used cars around here.
