Car has been sold. Thanks for your interest!

I may not be able to post here much longer, but I wanted to let you all know I sold the car today, private party, for $45k. Not as much as I had hoped to get, but more than Carmax, that's for sure. The input and suggestions of everyone here were invaluable as I went from clueless to...

One more- how much does it cost to enable AP1 on the car? Thanks for your good wishes, SoCal Buzz.

I understand. If you don't find what you want locally, though, this car is absolutely worth shipping or flying out to get. Thanks for your good wishes. Hope you find the perfect car for you!

No, it is near San Diego.

Thank you, Russell. Since the old thread was so far back, I made the necessary changes and posted it again. Hope that's OK.

Immaculate 2016 Facelift Model 60, upgradeable to 75, with incredibly low 6,185 local miles. Exterior is multi coat red with all-metal roof and 19” slipstream wheels. Interior has upgraded next-generation tan leather seats, dark ash wood, and black Alcantara headliner. Always garaged. Never...

Just wanted to update you all and ask a couple more questions. Still working on selling Dad's car; a buyer asked if there's a third row seats option with this car and I'm thinking no. Is that right? Will be posting on onlyusedTesla.com and a number of other sites and wanted to change the price...

Thanks, Krash. I got the email from Tesla this morning that I'm sure all of you did. It is making me give a second look to the Vroom offer; I will be talking with my sisters today to get their input.

OK, after receiving more pictures from my family, I've posted the ad here: Red 2016 Model S for sale in SoCal, low miles, $52,000 I talked to the insurance guy, who was also a friend of my dad's, and it sounds like the logistics after step one should be pretty easy: 1. Find buyer 2. Have buyer...

I understand the next generation seats are indeed leather, although it would be good to put in the ad as not everyone knows that. Thanks for the excellent text, MikeBur! That's very helpful. I'll include the other things, too.

I've decided against the Vroom option for now- it can be my fallback position if needed. Demundus made a great point about trying one place at a time. My family's going to start by offering it on their neighborhood marketplace for $52,000. I've passed along the info you all have helped provide...

Wow, demundus, you're right next door... to the car, of course, not to me. Thanks for your detailed list. I did just get an offer of $41,000 from Vroom. Have to say the idea of their going to the house to pick it up, overnighting the necessary paperwork to me, and having it all DONE is a vast...

Demundus, it is abundantly clear I am behind the learning curve here. I am indeed determined to do the best job as Trustee that I can. That doesn't mean I have to wring every last possible dollar out of this car, but the wholesale value I could expect to get from CarMax is too far in the other...

Thank you, BIG ACH. Sounds like we do have some things in common, and you understand what this feels like. Selling really is the only option for me with my sisters' interests in the mix on top of the problem of distance. For all my dad talked at length about this car, I never rode with him in it...

Thanks, SoCal Buzz. I don't think I'll be able to manage the battery upgrade myself, but whoever buys it will have that opportunity (that I didn't know existed yesterday). It's amazing that the car can be improved just through software, long-distance. Wait- the battery upgrade doesn't work that...

It's been moved to a family member's garage and was charged to 71% last night- is that a good number for now?

Thank you, Uncle Paul. I'm lucky to have family in the area who have the car safe in their garage and are willing to help by showing the car as needed. But your points are well taken, and I'll take them into account when considering price.

Yes, Dad visited me here in September and I remember he told me his car has free unlimited supercharging, and it would for future owners, too. I had no idea how soon that information would be important to me.

Yikes, didn't mean to post it twice. Still trying to learn how you do things here. I really appreciate the condolences and all the help. Dad's Tesla is a far cry from my own car; I'm having to learn from the ground up.

OK:

Thank you, Krash. I forgot to say it's not self-driving. Is there anything else you can tell me about if from the picture?

OK there's plenty I don't know about this car. Understatement. I never heard of unlocking the battery, but I think I understand what you're saying. Makes good business sense, no doubt, but the logistics are more than I can take on right now. Don't know if it has the front fascia but perhaps you...

You are so right. One sister and some other family do live there, but I got left in charge. I really do appreciate everyone's help- will check out the sale area and also Vroom. Carvana said $39,000 and I was looking for closer to $56,000 given the mileage and condition.

Can't keep it- I'm on the other side of the country, plus I have to share the sale price with my sisters. The Carvana option sounds hopeful; I will check with them. I didn't realize there's a place to list Teslas for sale here on the Forum... um, where exactly is that? Thanks for your replies.

My Dad was very active on this forum, I know, and he greatly valued the advice of this community. I hope I'm not breaking any rules by asking your advice on how to go about selling his 2016 Tesla Model S 60. He kept it immaculate; it only has 6,185 miles on it, and taking it to CarMax seems like...
