I think there are a LOT more very wealthy potential Tesla buyers who have heard of the Model S in the last few months than had heard of it prior. The Motor Trend COY award alone probably doubled the number. How many of your friends and acquaintances had heard of Tesla a year ago vs. now? For...

Well of course "value" just means what someone is willing to pay for it. But I'm also surprised the value wasn't closer to $170K. But the fact is that I had it posted for several weeks before finding a buyer at 140K and another (non Perf) Signature was on Ebay and to the best of my knowledge...

I truly don't understand this concern. Is the thought that once you buy a Tesla you must keep it forever? How long must you keep it? As an individual buying a car, you think there could possibly be some restriction on how long I must keep it before I can sell it or a restriction on how much I...

Thanks all! And nope, my production model is Brown with Tan interior. I wonder if I'm the only person who's had to endure this wait twice? Talk about first world problems!

Just a final update on this... I sold the car for $140,000. I thought about whether or not to post that piece of news but in the end decided to do so because I think it's important. Everybody needs to understand that the market has spoken and at $100,000, this car is currently underpriced...

After several missed delivery estimates, looks like I will finally be taking possession of the car this weekend. I plan to take and post pictures and start a more focused sales effort once I finally have it safely in my garage! I've had many offers on it but I think many people don't realize...

I feel confident that any potential buyer will understand the implication of "nearly zero miles". The car hasn't been driven beyond the factory. If they feel mislead because Tesla put 100 miles on it... well let's just say I doubt they will. Thanks for the heads up though.

The car is due to be delivered to the Los Angeles service center-- hopefully by the end of this week.

A quick update... the car is due to arrive sometime next week. I've had several offers on it (from around the world) but as of today it remains available.

Red Model S Signature Performance Available!! :wink:

I'm asking for approximately 15% over what I paid. As mentioned at the start of the thread, discussions of the morality of my decision to sell my car (or the asking price) should be in the off topic area as per the mods decision.

Had some interest and one offer but I think it's really a matter of venue (for the ad). Anyone willing to buy this car and skip the year wait likely knows all about it. Just don't know where people sell high end cars. Autotrader doesn't even have a Tesla option!

Of that I'm sure you're right. However, with 13,000 reservations it seems interest is already pretty high! My guess is that it's just a matter of exposure to potential buyers and I'm not sure the best way to give it that.

When I mentioned my intent to sell this car a couple of months ago it sparked quite a debate which eventually moved to "off topic". Hopefully any debate can remain there. But many on both sides seemed curious of the outcome so here's an update. I made no attempt to sell the car beyond the...

Laws on collecting tax on car sales vary greatly by state. California always collects tax so if the original buyer was in CA and he sold it to a secondary buyer also in CA, then yes, there would be tax charged for each of the sales. If the CA buyer sold it to someone in AZ, AZ would NOT...
