I figured why buy now when it's spring if you don't want it until November, also come November gas prices could have gone up substantially again, SUV's will be out of favour again, newer models out making older ones even cheaper, and... Why buy now when November is 8 months away?

Input?
as this is Tim's thread, I wont chime in right now but I have some thoughts on this as well. Let Tim answer first and then I can offer my two cents as I am in the Used vehicle business.
