Long term lurker...
So I'm moving back to UK having lived in LA for the last 10 years. I have a Tesla Model 3 on order and want to buy a car that will tide me over until it arrives.
I think I'll buy my wife a VW Tiguan or X1/3 for the family mobile, so for me 4 seats is not 100% required....
I Don't want to spend much more than 20K and want to get as much of that back to put towards to Tesla.
Any recommendations?

Cars I have been considering are 2-3 year old: -
BMW 3 series, Golf GTI,

Or considerably older: -

Lotus Elise (had a S1 1-11s back in the day)
Lotus Evora (May hold value therefore consideringf spending up to 30K)
Porsche 911 (996 or 997)



Any thoughts on lease vs Buy?
