    Purchasing a buyback/lemon - great deal or total disaster?

    Thank you for the lemon law link! Very helpful. The seller copied me on an email he sent to his contact at Tesla requesting the specific details of the buyback, so that will be a big determinant if I want to consider moving forward with this. I also feel like the $29k is too high w/ the...

    Purchasing a buyback/lemon - great deal or total disaster?

    Thank you so much for your input on this. I am thankful to not be in a position where I am rushed at all. This car is 100% want and not a need. In think for starters the price will have to be reduced a couple thousand and I am still waiting on the paperwork in regards to the buyback. I do get...

    Purchasing a buyback/lemon - great deal or total disaster?

    Thank you for sharing this. I fully understand that any out of warranty repair will be costly... as a BMW and Mercedes owner I have certainly experienced that. I am really trying to weigh the pros and cons with this one. I don’t generally buy used cars this ‘old’ and certainly not with this...

    Purchasing a buyback/lemon - great deal or total disaster?

    Yes I am trying to get some more detailed info about why exactly the vehicle was bought back by Tesla. Was told something about a software issue that took over 30 days to get an update for so they qualified for a buyback. Still waiting to see paperwork to verify this.

    Purchasing a buyback/lemon - great deal or total disaster?

    You make some really great points. I also felt the price was a little high considering anything. The price of those repairs is painful... I liked the fact that it did have a 12 month bumper to bumper which I felt like at least protects me for a year. But after that and then especially after...

    Purchasing a buyback/lemon - great deal or total disaster?

    Unfortunately the car is in San Diego and I am in Phoenix. Maybe this is something the dealer would be able to provide me with?

    Purchasing a buyback/lemon - great deal or total disaster?

    Yes, this is definitely a concern. I am looking to buy a car that I can keep for its lifetime. The scary part I guess is that if this car ends up being a hot mess I am stuck with it and will have to take a big loss to get rid of it.
