you try and be a bit more descriptive? (exact model, color, finance, how much your putting down, etc)
if your asking could you take a 2012 model rogue and pay close to invoice, in September? possibly- but with winter time fast approaching, its gonna be harder. usually fall/winter is when SUV sales go up, and convertible sales go down. spring/summer months its the complete opposite. so when the season is "IN" for a particular car, dealers are reluctant to give the car up without a good profit (they'd rather just keep it since the demand is out there.)
all of that being said, you do have a few things in your favor:
the rogue model isn't changing for 2013
other suv's that are the "runner ups" to the rogue ARE changing and being redesigned for 2013, thus stealing some competition.
the new pathfinder is coming out, and taking some spotlight away from the rogue
