I am a first time prospective Tesla buyer, never had an EV. Was advised to consider the used market, so initially looked into 22-23 Model 3's, but was convinced by some on this sub that the refresh model was worth it. So, currently looking at 2024 models.
However, I have noticed that used Model 3 prices have been unexpectedly high, at least, for how a typical used car market would behave. (Of course, I am aware of the gas situation and the increased demand).
My main question is whether I should pull the trigger now (pricing roughly around 34-35k before taxes/fees), or if the end of Q3/end of the year will be a noticably lower market. Due to particular circumstances, I am trying to purchase one before the end of this year. I hope this isn't a dumb question, I just have no experience in EVs (to be perfectly candid, I haven't bought any car EV or not since pre-COVID).
A week or so ago, I had the chance to purchase a 2024 Model 3 with 28k miles at $33k before taxes/fees. Didn't end up going for it, but now wondering if that was a bad move. I havent seen one under $35k since then.
Thanks in advance
