Lower mileage will not make up the $3k when you sell. So basically it's costing you $3k to drive the car 3 extra months. However, if the dealer is willing to discount the car $3k I'll take the jun/jul production (discount very unlikely though).
Except that the Dollar will likely continue to fall against the Euro, pushing the prices of 09s up. You might "lose" money, but not as much as $3K
