By the end of the year. Then again once the Z car is released.

Right now my plan is to lease one next year. I'm torn between the coupe and drop bc I plan on keeping my c6 drop.

so I will say May 2014 at the earliest unless I hit the powerball before then

While that is a good strategy, being debt free and staying that way is currently a higher priority (unlike the clowns in DC, but that is another topic for another segment of this forum).

I currently have Auto in my GS but If I do upgrade to the C-7 (more than likely) I would probably go for the stick.

Throwing out another opinion I would like to also go with automatic if they offer remote start as I am partial to warming the interior of the car during the winter months or cooling if off during the summer months.

There will never be zero percent financing in substance, on paper perhaps.

When 0% financing is offered on a $60k car, but you offer to pay cash, they will give you a "cash discount" and you'll end up paying $55k or so. Now the $5k difference is the implicit interest rate on the $60k financed car at "zero percent financing."

Rewording an agreement to sound like it's interest free does not make it interest-free.

April/2014.

By the time it's available where I live it will be close to the snowy winter, so I'd rather wait for a full summer driving season + by then the price will probably be a bit lower too.

Ditto.

...plus I'll have to be able to get the same sweet deal that I got on my C6. 0% interest and below invoice pricing. This might take awhile, but the wait will be easy in my beauty of a C6.

Maybe, maybe not. I tend to be a cash buyer myself. But when I bought my last BMW, first I negotiated the price of the car with no financing. When it came time to pick up the car, they had a 0.9% financing plan for the entire price of the car that was available. That's not zero, but in my mind 0.9% was a still a no brainer. On a $43,000 car the financing cost ~$790 total for a 4 year loan. Paying cash just didn't make sense. So like I said, it depends on the terms that are available at the time.
