I’m trying to decide between which car to purchase next. I went to Tesla because they offer 0% APR, $3500 EV discount, $500 healthcare worker discount, $1000 gas car turn in discount. The car is really nice and very state of the art. My concern is what EV depreciation looks like for these cars (not enough data to confirm) and needing Tesla to basically fix or repair anything.
The Honda CRV 2024 is a great used car with 30K miles with high trim level and the certified preowned warranty is amazing and is basically across the board till 100k. Hondas also seem to hold their value more than most cars with dam near bullet proof engines if taken care of correctly. Unfortunate part with this car is I would likely get 6-7% APR, pay for oil changes, Gas and maintenance more frequently.
I currently drive a 2021 honda accord 2.0T touring which is amazing and has held its value like crazy. Got it used at 29K over 3 years ago and just got valued by Honda for 22K so not bad at all.
Any insight someone might have on making a choice would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!!
