Hi all, I'm new to this forum and am looking for some advice in buying a used Model S. My family experienced EVs for the first time when we leased a 2017 Honda Clarity Electric (not the PHEV) that we just returned. I don't think we can ever go back to a gas or even hybrid car. I've been looking for a replacement since returning the lease, and have just a few requirements for the new car:
1) Less than $40K out the door
2) 120+ mile range (don't need much)
3) reliable (don't need a headache)
4) roomy enough for a family of 5 (two adults and 3 kids - two of which are growing teens).
It's that last requirement that has me looking at a used 2013-2015 Model S, as it seems to be the only EV choice out there (except for the more expensive used X's) with enough back seat room to fit the 3 kids comfortably on my budget. Things like autopilot would be nice, but they are not deal breakers, especially on the budget that I am on.
Looking for advice...is a 2013-2015 used Model S the way to go for my situation? Any other options to suggest?
