Selling my wife’s excellent condition 2018 Model 3 (Mid-Range). We’re the original owner with the title in hand. The car is accident-free and always garaged when not driven. Current mileage is 39,900 but it will continue to go up slightly. Mostly highway miles (98 mile daily commute plus road...

Is there a buyout price at the end of the lease? I vaguely remember Tesla not allowing buyouts, at least initially, when they first started Model 3 leases bc of the Tesla Network.

I personally would pass as it's RWD and AP1, but I don't know what your priorities are.

Rare bird indeed! That price is laughable though :eek::D

What state/local incentives are you eligible for? Does your state charge tax on used vehicles?

I’ve had good luck here, on onlyusedteslas.com and surprisingly craigslist. I think CL can be very hot or miss depending on your location. FYI potential buyers are going to ask if the car has Autopilot or Full Self Driving (FSD). You should ask your son in law that question.

Price is way too high. For reference, I sold a Dec. 2012 build fully loaded P85 a year and a half ago for $36,000 and that had a brand new battery pack and drive unit replaced by Tesla under warranty a week before.

Solid deal, I suspect will get snatched up quickly.

Raven powertrain? Where are you located?

I’ve also been passively looking and I agree with you. At this point I’m waiting to see what the release of the new interior and tri motor power train will do to the used prices.

Price?

In your case I would stay away from a used S simply because of potential maintenance costs given your budget. I suggest a used/new Model 3 as long as the size works for you.

I’ll start the bidding at $55,000!

The LR at the time started at $49,000 so given the options on OP’s car it would have been roughly $52,000 after the federal rebate.

Nice X! Where are you located?
