**seller, not buyer

aren't some getting around "can't transfer" by NOT changing settings, e.g., contact info...? As potential buyer, I envisions someone with beat-up 150K-mile 2016 S-X with FUSC free connectivity who would be happy to get, say, $10K, & add that to new S-X price, buyer having 0 interest in new...

(Tesla newbie so bear with me people) read week+ ago owners of S-X FUSC-SC01 can now transfer it when they buy new S-X; has this open up a scheme where "old" owners are striking deals in which they do so but then immediately flip that vehicle for a higher price? how to find such...

Elon Musk's political theatrics. I am not asking for political comments. Just wondering if others are getting purchase plans challenged...

locked eyes on top back (2) white + black X's so not 100% sure all were X's; June 10 ~5:30PM looked brand new but no protection on bodies; wouldn't tiny stones bounce off bodies, leave scratches? curious: were these hauled from West Coast plant on I-10 & then heading to Atlanta? but wouldn't...

Am hoping now that this 6-yr FUSC scheme appeared for first time greatly increases chance of it reappearing at end of some near future quarter when The Elonmeister wants new S or X buys to surge more that it did for very recent 3-yr FUSC offer... YES I WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THAT SURGE 🤑 👍 🤑 👍 🤑...

hotels must love all your business... if Tesla outright offers (6) yr FUSC with new S or X, I'm there, (3) yrs not enough... have been shopping 2016 used transferable FUSC, waiting for good deal but now wondering about flipping 2016 for new (6) yr FUSC...but price of flipped 2016 will drop...

another new vehicle price drop yesterday; preceded by multiple new vehicle price drops; as one who is hunting 2016 used vehicle pricing can any conclusions be reasonably drawn about what will happen to 2016 used vehicle pricing in next couple months? one might assume used pricing would also go...

ah. yes, the red 12K mi S 70 seemed near perfect until it allegedly sold for ~$48K-49K; now am more flexible about color & more aware of 90 range; an S P90D !! more range !! is now down to $46K, hoping to grab @ ~$40K+ & red wrap ~?$6K?...

thanks for opinion, but way wrong; every buyer wants best deal, every seller wants best deal. nothing new here... next round of questions will be AFTER purchase... aren't questions what this forum's all about ??? people helping people, I got a whole lot of help... 🤔 🤔 🤔

thanks. it don't have to be red. am willing to red wrap. but that's $6K+ right? I'd want to subtract some of that from seller's pocket. Its not sellers fault, but...

OK, glad to hear 100s SC01 Unicorn Fever could be misguided; the real "tell" is if they are not immediately gobbled up...so far they are... but SC01 is a must for some; :( :( :( what percentage of population don't have parking with electric outlet unless they spend ~$4K-5K US on new...

oh yes they even have a name UNICORNS 🦄 🦄 🦄 unicorn fever is real but it could soon turn into a value trap...?

reports of used car prices dropping significantly; there are individuals rushing to buy these 2016 S 100's & then flipping them for higher price? Is that still alive & well or burning out? emperor's clothes, that sort of thing... it only takes one buyer, but...

tired of false alarms? 😱 😱 😱 tired of lowering price incrementally? ready to sell reasonably real soon? I'm that buyer if everything checks out!! small dents OK if reflected in price... get out of that rut, get on with your life... SELL. ME. THE. CAR. $$$

What about email address for individual dealer or salesman at dealership?

Thanks. Red preferred. Otherwise will wrap red or similar photogenic color. Wrap = ~$6K...? So have to add that to non-red colors... Am going to pursue 2016 S-X 90D's & offer ~$42K...? under 40K miles, FUSC, MUSC2, newish tires; One with small dent might get accepted?

Thanks for advice. Well, this specific saga is over. Title transferred. 😭 😭 😭 Seller reports someone paid just under ask $40999 which I assume means $40K--$39K. As I told seller, it takes only one buyer...

Thanks for posting these offers! Sadly, they're all far far away. Does Cars & Bids permit contacting owner? Are cars with the owners or at what C&B location? Yes, SC01 X is possible. That last red X in VA for $41K seems great price. 😧 😧 😧 It must be the mentioned dent lower price ~$7K?

Thanks for reporting it. FUSC is a must for me. 2016 90D owner's assistant messaged: "Rated distance w/ 100% charge: 254mi. Ideal distance w/ 100% charge: 328mi Today, 3:07 PM Sent I’ve already had an offer for $43k. It’s not that motivated of a seller. Might have to wait to get a better...

Am curious, if willing, is it because you are not original owner & bought from dealer? East coast FL weather supreme minus hurricanes. 🌂 🌂 🌂

Thanks for advice. Eccentric bargainer, yes I am that. 🤑 🤑 🤑 But if me-buyer at hard $35K-$40K & seller at $50K, a 20% difference does it matter if bargaining is by slick pro or eccentric? Curiously, yesterday price dropped to $48K, probably coincidence, but...

for first time, I've put price "out there" (to a seller's assistant): 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 "being an EV newbie, I am relying on Tesla forum pricing advice; they are telling me $35K-$40K for this vehicle if all checks out OK; if willing to say, at what rate will you be lowering price if...

SC01 FUSC? Will you be driving it to South FL by chance? [email protected]

ah. seller just reported he is 2nd owner & no FUSC. on to the next or waiting on the first...

seller also on CarGuru; and oddly CarGuru knocks the seller's price: "$56,000 UNCERTAIN The price of this vehicle seems too high. It may have custom equipment or be mislabeled. This car is $21,812 above market price. We compared this car with similar 2016 Tesla Model S based on price, mileage...

if willing, what is proper price? assume transferable SC01. thanks in advance.

worried I'm overextending advice requests, but... 😱 😱 😱 brief answers OK, haven't contacted buyer yet to confirm transferable SC01; (ID being required by AutoTrader before contacting owner)...

is what?

Thanks for comment. AFAICT, I've been calculating, yet to make offer. no used car bargaining experience but do have (successful IMO) used condo bargaining experience... what would be better than this red beauty? ❓ ❓ ❓ a higher rated range SC01 unicorn which EVERYONE wants... 😱😱😱 As to long...

Thanks for additional advice above. ~noon from owner: "Just accepted an offer 20 minutes ago. They have not yet seen car and I haven't gotten deposit so we'll see what happens." :( not :( a :( happy :( camper :( AutoTrader price is $40999 -- don't know buyer offer. Still...

Yes, I thought about $32.5K offer with $33.5K ceiling; 😧 😧 😧 😧 😧 But there is reason not to offer ~20% lower than current $41K ask now -- avoid turning so-far-friendly discourse into debate...? What I did before & should do again -- ask to be informed 24 hrs ahead of next price drop...

Thanks. Am holding back offer. Not requesting test ride until price drops ~$37K-36K as I'm planning in advance to only make offer AFTER test ride; (unless buyer directly asks what I would offer -- cash buyer) waited through $46.5K ==> $43.5K ==> $41.5K ==> $40K now asked seller lots of...

Thanks. Owner confirmed 237 = rated. Your mention of 100 KWh upgrade is great to know IMC. I am seeing this vehicle as "SC01 red vessel" which I want obviously at reasonable price (owner just lowered to $40999 but I am thinking ~$33K to avoid another buyer???) which, when necessary, I would...

owner of this 2016 S 70 reports: "Car charged to 237 miles last night. 270 "ideal " miles." So is this possible for that vehicle? Ideal = unrealistic constant 50mph? I'm emailing owner to confirm 237 is RATED setting. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. If possible, what are one or more of those TYPICAL issues? Could they exist at current red S 70 12K miles to point that owner is aware? Could I detect them during test ride? Thanks in advance.

Would requesting-getting photo of original bill of sale with ?sensitive? info blacked out prove original ownership?

(EV newbie) owner's assistant sent me this -- is it 246 rated range?

(1st is red 2016 S 70 separate thread) 2016 S P90D, $50K, 24K miles SC01, assistant says window sticker states 253 range @100%; dealing with owner's assistant, not owner; to my advantage: assistant went silent week+ ago after stating "other buyers" today he re-contacted me... 😱 ‼️😱 I requested...

I am con-able as I am used-car-buyer newbie as well as EV newbie. vin# is posted in offer, right? doesn't vin# plugged into online app tell how many owners? thanks in advance regards

Thanks for all further responses. How could it not be SC01 if seller is original owner? ❓ ‼️❓❓ All S 70s delivered first half of 2016 were SC01, right...? Seller also said this about reducing FUSC times: "You can now also "precondition" the battery just before charging, and that will also...

Thanks for important bargaining points. What I value is SC01 & that its photogenic red. (will be using in travel stock photos, no need to wrap) But your $28K has me thinking, start at $30K & after sale add some features you mentioned...

Fingers crossed. But if I first offer $32K-34K as advised here, & buyer drops most recent AutoTrader price from $41.5K to, say $36-37K, does another buyer swoop in....one ponders.

additionally, seller stated, "Don't know if it is a 1 or 2, but there have been no problems with it." As to 238, 234, or 210 when set to "rated", emailing seller asap. Thanks for advice. Only reason for not posting link was fear of other buyer swooping in... 😱 😱 😱

It don't. Seller advised, "My MCU has been replaced. The service advisor reported to me after the recall was performed about a year ago that I now had the latest, high memory MCU available." 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

(EV newbie) $32K & $34K thanks. My bad on 238 range. 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 Seller in first email stated, "Mine, due to its very low mileage, has very minimal degradation as original maximum mileage was 234 and remains there." Shortly after I may have gotten 238 from an EV range estimator that was...

Thanks for specific suggestion. If willing to say, what is too much, back off & wait...?

Thanks for responses. 234 or 238, long distance driving will be station spacing dependent, right? Another question, if known: Tesla boosted trade-in $$ for SC01, is trade-in $$ for this vehicle known? I want to be reasonably above that, right? 🫣 🫣 🫣 Have just queried seller wrt...

private owner, red, under 16K miles, 238 range@100%, mint condition, garage-kept; warranty will expire in early 2024? looking to offer good deal for me without insulting friendly owner; was priced at $46.5K, dropped to $43.5K, dropped to $41.5K... listed at least month without selling; only red...
