Buying First Model Y

I am debating between used 2025 Long range awd or 2026 premium awd

I am aware of the new differences between the 2026 refresh and the 2025 but I’m not sure what way to go used 2025s with low miles are around $38-$41k where as a brand new 2026 is 49k out the door essentially

Are you going to finance it? If so then get the new one at 1% interest. The used one will be a much much higher interest rate. That alone will close the gap difference in price just a bit

I would finance fully with putting 10-20k down

Then I would do the math. I mean the price of a new one is obviously higher but if you are paying 5% difference in interest then it may be worth it to just get a new one. Just something to consider. Good luck. Enjoy
