At this point in the game, I would wait for the 09 unless you get some major rebate or that special 3 grand deal.

Although you may be buying as a keeper, keep in mind that there is one years worth of depreciation difference between an 08 and an 09, even if you acquire the 08 within a month of acquiring the 09. Granted, you'll get points for low mileage on the 08, but it's still an 08.

The beauty of buying an 09 in July 08 is you can drive it for another year and a half and you're still driving a car with a year the same as the actual year. Psychologically, very satisfying.
