Opinion on how to go about buying a BRZ?

I have wanted the BRZ since launch and for the past couple months have been looking into what year I am wanting to buy. Since day one I decided on lightning red limited 6-speed. I test drove a new 2015 a couple days ago finally and loved it. Price was $30k with the first package after fees. Car only had 12 miles.

Problem for me is that I see three options that I like and not sure which I should go with.

1. Buy 2016 once they release in a couple months and pay the $30k then.
2. Buy a slightly used 2015 (if I can find it) after 2016 releases for a few thousand less.
3. Buy a 2013/14 with some miles on it for substantially less but risk not knowing it's history.

I do plan on modifying the car (not heavily) so one worry is buying a new 2016 and end up voiding the warranty by flashing the ECU and adding bolt-ons like intake, header back, ect. This actually makes me lean towards the second option where I save a few thousand and can put that towards mods.

Sorry about the long post! Anyone want to give me their opinion on what I should do? Thanks.
