2013 Tesla S60 - SOLD

[ohaq]

I got similar specs with 34000 miles and tesla quoted 45k to 50k range.

 

[Stoneymonster]

Good to know. I didn't see that in my documents.

I had to ask, but they gave me a refund quote.

Incorrect. They will credit you the prorated unused portion of the service plan and extended warranty.

Concerning the transfer of warranties, I found the following online:

At 45k, I'm interested in taking it off your hands.

Sadly RonnieKorbas is 100% right! I'm looking to sell my 2013 loaded S60 to get a new S70D before the sales tax savings in Washington expires June 30th and I was SHOCKED how low Tesla's offer was. NADA and Kelly Blue Book both have my trade in value around $61,950 but yesterday Tesla offered me only $44,750! My car is in excellent condition.

To make matters worse, my car has the extended maintenance contract and $4,000 in after market enhancements such as Xpel paint protection, tinted windows, and a fully integrated Escort radar detector/laser jammer.

All I can assume is that they feel they need to have the same 25% profit margin target on used cars just like they do on the new cars.

Here is the valuation given by NADA:

I'm sure you would be but now that I know that's all they are offering I'm not going to sell. I'm giving up the dream of the 70D and I'm going to ride it out in what has been a GREAT car. I wish I'd never entertained the idea of the upgrade but with WA Sale tax exemption going away 6/30 I thought I should at least check it out.

Makes me concerned about owning one honestly. If they're going to be like smart phones I can't hang on to one for more than a year and my wallet can't handle that much depreciation.

Look, as we 've been saying this whole time, the air is only harsh in HERE because every person on this forum is more of an expert on these "cars" and their options and their worth than people who work at the galleries (I've tested this myself).
So, yes, in THIS forum (no pun intended), in this venue of approach, YES, you will get the LOWEST amount your vehicle is worth because of the aforementioned. It is definitely the BEST place to buy, but the WORST to sell.

In the open market, it is the opposite because of the exact same reason.
So, don't be discouraged.
Not everyone out there that might be trying to buy your S is an expert on Tesla, and you have a MUCH higher chance of running into someone like that and getting the "worth" of your S, than running into a Tesla expert and getting the worth of your car.

The percentages are quite accurate.
Of the last 8 offers I've gotten for my car, 6 of them were of regular joes who don't know about Tesla, and the offer was well above 50k.
And the other 2 were between 4-10k LESS than 50k because they knew what they were talking about.

The odds are in your favor, believe me.
Just don't sell to an in-the-know person. Or to Tesla itself.

And this happens with all communities. I was a BMW man for 15 years before I made the switch and it was the EXACT same thing.

Hang in there, know the worth of your car, know YOUR worth of YOUR car, and if you land somewhere in between at Sale or a little higher, you made a good investment.

Well, they are not depreciating like smartphones but they are depreciating like cars, because the Model S is a car Any car will depreciate about 20-25% the first year and this is what we are seeing with the Model S. This would be the same if you had considered buying any other premium car.

I was making the comparison more from a personal perspective. I'll want the new features every 2 years and not be able to afford the car level depreciation.

What would you want Tesla to do about that? Stop innovating? New features and lower resale value for cars without the new features go hand in hand. If the car still meets your needs after two years you don't have to worry about how much its resale value is, just keep driving it.

The depreciation is better than most.

A 2013 Mercedes S550 run about 105-112 with options
today in 2015 they are worth 55 retail and 50k wholesale

Tesla CPO site is up

 

[nitrochino]

Tesla will basically set the pricing for the used market from now on. Private party sales will need to price it between trades-ins and CPO accordingly.

Pre-Owned ModelS | Tesla Motors

some very low pricing and you get 4 more years warranty
i'd now be trying to buy P85 for 62 max private party

This Canadian 2013 fully loaded P85 is a steal!

38,782 km = 23505 miles
74,850 CND = 61380 USD with 4 years, 50K miles warranty.
I haven't seen any P85 at this price.

That is a good deal----so much so that I tried to buy it today (thanks for the heads up!). Tesla said that while it is easy to bring a U.S. car into Canada, we can't import from Canada and they couldn't sell it to me. The others in the U.S. seem reasonably priced, but not quite as good. Probably go back to ordering a 70D at this point.
