Model 3 on a budget

[CSR Performance]

Looking for a new car sometime in the next 6 months or so. Budget around £12-14k. Surprisingly (to me at least) that opens up quite a selection of Model 3s.

No interest in FSD, don't need long range, not fussed about being a hi-po model as its for family duties and commuting on 50mph roads.

Deal breakers are: heated seats, good phone connectivity for playing music and podcasts/audiobooks, indicators on a stalk (don't think this is an issue at my price point) and app/timer to set cabin HVAC before leaving for work. Radar cruise would be nice - appears to be standard across the board?

I would like to have a useable car with some resale value after 5 years, but I have zero experience with Tesla cars, apart from a very short drive in a Model S about 6 years ago, so I'm not sure if what I want is feasible within budget.

Advice welcomed please?

That’s every Model 3 ever made, so just buy the best one you can find on condition.

You should be able to find loads at that price point, if you can sneak into a 2021+ standard range at that price, that would be ideal.

I bought a 2020 standard range last summer for £12k and its been great and not had any issues.
