Evening all. Would love some input on a buying decision.
I was set on a Model S current inventory which has the spec I like in a 90D battery with just over 2000 miles on it. However the finance company has decided they won't finance anything older than 3 months.
Now I was all set to get a nice discount of around £11,000 by taking that 90D from current inventory because it had been used by the dealership, which I thought was great.
To go for an inventory 90D that is under 3 months is around £13000 more than I was going to pay for the original one they found me, and quite a lot more than I want to spend.
I can build a brand new car in the exact spec I was looking for but it would have a 75D battery and come to the price I was going to pay for the used inventory 90D.
I would love some input from you guys on whether you think this is the best way forward, or if maybe I should continue to check inventory or make the stretch up to a 90D.
I live in the UK and my average journey is about 20 miles to work, other than that I don't really go too far, small journeys around town.
The nearest supercharger is about 26 miles away or 30 minutes, I would be able to charge the car at work for free.
In my head I don't see any reason why the 75 shouldn't work but wanted to check with owners and others more in the know than I if I'm doing anything wrong here. Are the real life miles of a 75 sufficiently low that it becomes a nuisance? Just wondering about things like that really.
This is a dream car purchase for me and one I never thought I'd make so trying to get it right.
Thanks everyone!
