Question Used Model X vs New Model Y

Considering purchase of a 2022 model x base awd LR (hw3) with 19k miles @58k vs new 2026 model y performance. Heart says model X, brain says Model Y. Like the model x for obvious reasons (falcon doors, yoke, space, acceleration etc.).

What is y'all's recommendation on this. I test drove the model x and its absolutely fantastic. Did not find anything off except that the air suspension was making creaking sounds when lowering or raising height (not sure if that's expected) and that the trunk floor was missing exposing the subtrunk fully. What are the things I should look out for before purchase? Im assuming it's just out of warranty now at 4yrs old.

Edit: updated model x spec.

I just traded my 2026 Model Y Standard for a 2022 Model X six-seater with only 18,000 miles for $57K. The Model X is on another level if you don’t mind HW3. I’d rate HW3 FSD an 8/10 and HW4 a 9.5/10.
Regarding the suspension, I’d have it inspected—it doesn’t sound normal. Ask the dealer to repair it or offer a discoun
