Looking for an OEM Spoiler for 2018 Model 3. I am based in Houston, so a local one would work best to avoid shipping.

What would be the best options to consider for a private party purchase?

Pricing it unreasonably will keep the reasonable people away. Very rarely does a car show up on these boards that is priced below Tesla CPO prices, and accounting for the differences in warranty.

Numbers aren't really your game, are they? If you want to sell it at a $25k discount, then sell it at a $25k discount. Count the $7500 federal tax credit. Count the battery being standard at 75kwh now, and subtract the 70kwh upcharge from that - plus a little bit more from that $96k number...

Where is the discouragement? He offered to help with the expectations. You think potential buyers would be lining up behind this car priced at $67k, without Sammy's comment? Based on the build sheet, this car has about $10k of upgrades compared to new base model. A brand new car with the new...

Potential buyers willing to spend this kind of money will have an idea about the market, and do comparison of new vs used. He was just offering to set the right expectations. And no, why don't you make an offer if you are interested is not the right excuse for not doing market research and...

Maybe people aren't as worried about the mileage, as some sort of a price guildelines. When it comes to pricing on such low volume cars, Tesla sets the prices. If Tesla is selling it's own CPOs with 90k+ miles, while knowing of the gazillion miles scenarios that you are quoting, at below $30k...

Just wondering where have you been doing your price comparisons to come to a conclusion that private sales are usually around $8k less than a CPO? Usually, the best prices are with tesla itself if you are patient enough.

That maybe true. But the price needs to reflect what Tesla values the mileage at for their CPO cars. Looking at the Tesla owned CPO sales, you wouldn't get nowhere your asking price from Tesla. Not even $10k less than your asking price.

You might need to revisit the asking price. A 90k miles 2013 S60 sold for under $27k last month at tesla. And that includes a 2 year Tesla warranty.

Does rooted on the latest version mean it will not get software updates? And also, how much value are you putting just on the warranty, let alone other factors, when you assess the price? Is it in sync with what Tesla values the warranty at?

KBB values don't mean much for used low volume luxury cars. I commented as a buyer, and not on what you could get for a trade-in. I hope you understand there is a big difference between getting a good deal as a buyer based on the typical deals available, and getting the most $ for your sale...

Someone got a good deal. Had your asking price been closer to what you sold it for, I'd have jumped on it for higher.

Thanks! Window sticker? Any fender/bender/curbside incidents? What's the 90% and 100% of range?

Isn't the warranty 4 years 50k? How would the warranty on a private sale get reset? Or are you saying this was a CPO vehicle bought 14 months ago, hence 34 months remaining?
