I have been bitten by the Tesla bug. I test drive a gorgeous blue 2016 75 today and I was blown away to say the least. What a car! I am coming from SUV's and worried a car wouldn't be for me, boy was I wrong.
My question is this, I have found some good 2016's at the dealership which I can take advantage of the tax credit and be out the door for around 72k. I found some CPO and private seller 2013's for around $55k. In your opinion is there a category you would lean towards more? Is it better getting the newer car and dealing with the steep depreciation in the beginning or get a car a few years older that has taken the hit? On first thought, I would have gone for the older but knowing I will probably keep this car for 4-5 years I wonder how hard it will be to sell a 8-9 year old tesla and at what price.
Any advice would be great, I look forward to spending much more time here.
Thanks
