2013 Model S 85 Signature

[r1cw3b]

I found a Model S 85 Signature on sale for $37K; clean carfax and only 33K miles. Seems to good to be true. Any chance this is fishy. Would Tesla let me purchase an extended warranty on it?

No, the original owner is the only one who can purchase a warranty on it, and only within a certain period. The residual value of the non-ap cars are pretty *sugar*, so its not out of the realm of possibilities... i see your in texas, obviously look for recent flood damage that may have gone unreported. You can try to get information from the service center about the car, ask the owner to go with you and get the service records etc

There are no 2013 Signature edition Model S's. Check the VIN.

Doing some research on the seller... JC Auto Center - I can't find any reviews, a BBB rating or anything. Recently, they requested a wire transfer for the sale of the car. My thought at this point is this is a scam. #toogoodtobetrue

I don't think that's true if you buy CPO at least. I remember the OA telling me I could purchase the extended warranty anytime before the CPO warranty expires.

Right, because that makes you the "original owner" of the CPO warranty. AFAIK (year old info) the purchaser of record has to extend the warranty... be it before PP sale or expiry of any previous warranty etc.
