Default Advice Needed for 1st purchase

I need some advice on my first mustang purchase. Having test driven a 2013 mustang v6 premium, I had my heart set on purchasing and was about to sign on the dotted line before I decided to sleep on the decision. Some further research found that the 2014 model is now available to order.
So my question is this...at what point is the 2013 model likely to drop in price? I know mustangs hold their value well, so I'm not expecting a huge shift, but surely there will be a price difference? I'm not sure how long the 2013 model has been out, or how long the 2014 model has been out. Please offer any advice you can. I really love the 2013, but I'm a patient man and can wait months if it means getting a better deal and losing less value putting the car on the Tarmac.

The 2013 has $2000 in consumer cash (rebate), the 14 only has $1000... Just bought my 2013 yesterday, they have plenty of 2014's already on the lots.

I assume that rebate is on top of any discount you can strike with the individual dealer when you purchase.
So when did the 2014 model come out? The specs and pics don't throw up any obvious major differences between 2013 & 2014...am I missing anything?

13's and 14's seem to be pretty much identical, that helps in making the decision to save some money and get the 13. As soon as I saw the interior on mine I knew what I was getting.

You can probably find some used 13's as well. I got mine used and saved over $8k off a new base (including tax, tags, etc). That gave me the extra cash for mods. Not sure if that would be an option for you. Mine still had the remainder of the factory warranty.

welcome....I think that the more 2014's that come out & hit the lots, the more dealers will be pushing to get rid of the 2013's.
