new job starts in Irvine next week so i gotta move fast. stuck between a local 2023 MY for 35k or trying to find a used Juniper for the better suspension but my budget is firm at 40k. has anyone actually seen any used Juniper Model Ys for sale in Cali yet or am I just wasting my time?

- Juniper technically isnt out in the US yet tho.
- Move fast.
- That Tesla Model Y 2023 Long Range AWD for 35k has the updated frequency-selective damping suspension anyway.

Saw this earlier but honestly, youre chasing a ghost since Junipers arent on the roads here yet. In my experience tracking these price cycles over the years, waiting for a refresh just drains your wallet for no reason. Ive tried many setups and finding a Tesla Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive 2023 under 35k is a way better move for your budget. Save that extra cash for your move tho.

Re: "Juniper technically isnt out in the US yet..."
- Hes right, you are definitely chasing a ghost. I tried waiting for a refresh once and just ended up paying way more for less. Are you planning on doing a long commute to Irvine or is it mostly local? I would suggest checking the build date on that 2023 because some earlier ones have much stiffer springs. Be careful with those low prices tho...
