Hi all. Trying to decide between buying a 2014 red model S 85 with 44,000 miles from Carvana or a new Model 3 Standard Range Plus in blue for 41k. The model three would be direct from Tesla. It’s an existing inventory that just became available. I live in Massachusetts and you get a $2500 rebate on a new EV that cost less than 50 K so really the cost of the model three would be about 38.5 K.
I love the way both drive. The look on the S is outstanding. Just walking up to it from a distance is amazing, but money matters and I keep thinking about it as an investment and looking at how even a year ago I model three only depreciated 10% over the course of three years and it’s only gotten better. Right now I can buy this new one for less than I could buy used model 3. And the 3 looks great. It’s just not an S.
so I guess I’m just trying to talk out ahead versus heart decision and see if anyone can throw the thought has not occurred to me. Thanks!
