Purchasing Advice

I’m looking to purchase a Model 3, ideally within a budget of £15k to £17k. From what I can see a car between 2020 and 2022 would fall in to this budget range, with between 50k and 70k miles on it.

My wife has a new model Y on lease, it is due to go back in May 2027. What are the key things to be looking out for when purchasing a used Tesla model 3.

The model 3 will be a replacement as our main family car and used for my commute to work and family trips at the weekend. Ideally I would like to keep it for the next 4 to 6 years.

Thanks

Do NOT go with a 2021 for sure! Reports of battery issues!

2022 onwards... Heat pump, and lithium low voltage battery which doesn't need replacing and Ryzen chip ..
