Don't see why anyone would pop for a '12 that was so similar in price to an equivalent '13...
The dealer paid close to the same price for each car. Sure he wants to move the '12, but doesn't have to take a bath on it. An extra $1000 off is all it might take any particular buyer, since the model years are so close in features. It's all related to elasticity of demand.
