Thanks! Oof, and I feel your pain - how big is the scratch? let me know how well the paint correction kit works. Are you also planning a professional paint correct before the ceramic coat?

I picked it up from Portland! But yes, I live in Seattle too - if I cross a blue colored model 3 I think there's a good chance it might be you haha. Btw- does the model 3 come with a first aid kit? Mine didn't have one.

@chrstna4 Here you go! Yeah, I'm going to get an estimate and take a call if that's worth doing. Probably will get the paint correct kit from Tesla to fix up the minor chips though.

@chrstna4 Got delivery of my car! Tried out self driving and everything - loved it. Most of the dings don't bother me because they're really small. The only one that is noticeable is the scatter patch close to the tire (the 2nd pic of the 3 you posted in your comment). I am going to check out...

@chrstna4 Yup! Just booked the red one! With further price drops, it was also 1700$ less than the white. And I saw a white and red in person at a showroom again - decided to go with the red!

I suppose red just looks really good. White looks good too, but combined with the price difference the red looks pretty attractive at this point haha

@KenC @chrstna4 Thank you! Yeah it looks like the DIY paint repair kit should be good enough? At this point, the red one is 1500$ cheaper lol. The only things I'm moderately worried about are how much the 13K extra miles makes a difference with - 1. The tires. They don't look too bad though as...

@chrstna4 Do you Tesla would fix up the dings on the red car for free if I point it out while picking it up? (The red one's price went further down, so thinking if it now lol)

Yup, thanks fa lot or all the advise! Really appreciate it Agree. Probably going with the low miles car. Thanks!

Probably going to go with the white one! It's only been driven 10K miles vs 23K miles for the red, so the tires on the white should actually be better? Could also be hard to tell from the pictures. @chrstna4

@chrstna4 Yup, definitely see them now haha. There are quite a few - and infact I see that the pictures are labelled as "Exterior damage-1/2/3/4/5. i..e 5 exterior damage pictures. I also found the pictures of the white one! This is the link- TeslaWhite - Google Drive Very few damages on this...

@chrstna4 Thanks a lot for all those details!! I'm trying to find the ding you're talking about though - could you tell me which picture you saw it? Also, do you think tires wear would be a thing though? I'm guessing at 23K miles, I might need to change the tires soon right?

@TexanEV White is 45.7K (FSD included) Red is 44.7K (FSD included) TeslaCPO.io - Search Tesla's Vehicle Inventory And I also see a black with white interior for 44,400 TeslaCPO.io - Search Tesla's Vehicle Inventory

@lppo6 @chrstna4 The black is actually the cheapest and it has white interiors. TeslaCPO.io - Search Tesla's Vehicle Inventory I'm just weary of buying black because of the maintenance.

@lpp06 That's fair. I guess it just comes down to making a gamble on how someone treated a car with 23K miles (in 2 years -red obe) vs 10K (in 2 years 3 months - white one). Only thing is I need to travel 4 hours out of state to get the red. And the inventory site is super useful, thanks! I see...

@Fernand Yup, both have FSD enabled and paid for.

@lpp06 There's no transport fee for them since I can pick them up myself. You're right - I would lose 500$. But that's factored into the 1000$ difference between the two. The "actual" difference is 1500$ haha

@chrstna4 I do have range anxiety though. Do you think the red would have ~10 miles less range than the white?

That's a good point. However, the red started out more expensive than the white. I booked the white, but the price for the red has been going down consistently :( And yup, I can't see the pictures so I'm buying this blind. Were any of the dings very noticeable?

Hello, I am considering buying a used Tesla directly from their website. I have 2 options - 1. 2018 White LR AWD Model 3. 10K miles. Original warranty till October 2022/50K miles (1 yr/10K miles extended warranty after) 2. 2018 Red LR AWD Model 3, 23.7K miles. Original warranty till December...
