2014 Metallic Blue Model S 85 For Sale - 70,000 mi

[timolin]

Hi,

I'm taking delivery of an M3 (not BMW) this month and need to find a new home for my (your) Model S. I'm located in the SF Bay Area - if you are local (say San Jose to Burlingame) we can arrange to have you see the car in person.

Asking: $35,000. This is in line with good to very good condition on KBB as well as most of the posts I've seen on TMC.

Basic specs:
70,000 mi
VIN: P27xxx
Tech package
19 in OEM rims - there is some wheel rash on it - sorry!
Exterior: Metallic blue
Tan leather interior
Parking sensors
Standard stereo system (I'll be honest - it was kinda crap)
No pan roof (I was worried they would leak)
No AP hardware - too early

Other notes:
Lifetime supercharging
I have 1 year left on an extended warranty
The drive motor was recently replaced ~65k miles
The touch screen was also recently replaced and the wireless is LTE

Here are some pics. I'll try to get more online in the next few days:

CANCEL PURCHASE INQUIRY - purchased 2015 S85 today from a very pleasant, mellow used car business in Roseville, CA: "Carquisite". They also have a white 2012 Signature P85 in great condition.
Whew! - Weeks of research has come to fruition - but now have more focused research to do!

purchased ...used car business

Hint for all you future Tesla owners out there: Don’t buy a Tesla from a used car dealer. Not only do they normally not know what they are talking about or the options, Tesla won’t sell extended warranties for vehicles purchased through used car dealerships. I don’t believe this effects private party sales, just dealerships.

Any proof to this?

Any proof to this?

It’s listed on many of the Tesla documents and FAQs, but seems not to be well known, which is why I mention it. Here is a thread on it for your research. Extended Service Agreement for a private used car purchase? | Tesla

Sorry, didn’t mean to hijack the thread. It looks like a nice car. Good luck with the sale

It's mind boggling to me that so many people would want to pay $4700 plus $200 per repair for a warranty, for 50,000 miles to cover everything that is not the drive train (drive train on 85's and up have an 8 year / unlimited miles warranty). So, you'd have to have $5k in repairs just to BREAK EVEN. You can do a LOT of repairs for $5k. I can't imagine the average repairs on a Tesla between 50k and 100k, not including the drive train, would come close to exceeding $5k. Even if you ended up spending $6 or $7k in repairs over the 50k miles, it would be worth the risk of spending NOTHING. It's like buying collision/comprehensive insurance on an $8k car that costs you $5k. It's just not a very good investment. Odds are, most people won't come close to the $5k in repairs. I know I haven't had a single repair so far from my dealer-purchased 2014 S.

If you think Tesla is SO unreliable that you need to spend $5k to protect yourself from a large repair bill, you would probably be better off buying another brand of car. I think what's most important is inspecting the car thoroughly. I can drive a car and tell if it has been abused/driven hard (does it pull to left or right? rattles? etc). Also, the condition of the interior will give you a clue as to how the previous owner took care of it overall. One more thing that helps if you can get the info - what month/day the car was actually built. If it was the last 2 or 3 weeks of the 3rd month of any quarter - don't touch it! My car was built in Feb 2015 (titled Dec 29 2014) and has been flawless - even while under warranty.

You gotta love it when people click "Disagree" to your post, but don't bother to post WHY they disagree. It's like they're saying, "I don't really have any reason to disagree with you, but I don't really like what you said, so I will click the Disagree button."

How is the battery? Whats the mile range at 80% and 100%?
Any other warranty work done other than what was listed on the post?
