Tesla Motors Club

Hi,

I am a tesla newbie. Never owned it, and looking for some advice on how to go about buying a red (or blue) Model S LR. Here are some questions that I would appreciate if experienced members can answer:

* Should I buy used or new? If used, I was thinking preferably low miles, and 2018+. I do end up keeping my cars for a long time.
* Where to buy from? There is tesla.com/used, private party, or other third party car site. Any recommendations for which car site (other than tesla) would be good to check for availability.
* When is a good time to buy? Now, or wait for few months. I was expecting inventory to go up but haven't seen the surge at tesla.com
* What would be a reasonable price to pay for the car? Preferably red.
* Tesla sells demo vehicles at lower prices. How can I get to buy one of those?
* Any other considerations especially when buying from a third party?
* Based in california.

Thanks.
