2018 3 LR no warranty risk?

[DadRS99]

So I’m considering buying a 65k mile 2018 3 LR

Is there a good used car checklist?
WhT should I look out for most?

And it won’t come with a warranty, so is one of the carfax, vroom ones worth it?

Didn’t think typical repair places can fix Tesla tech anyway, so wouldn’t my car insurance be enough?

Tips?

Once I receive, will have 7 days to return…

Thx!!

The car should still have the 8year / 100k mile warranty. So you should be good there.

Any reason on why a used model 3?

Thanks. Yes, battery covered. Worried about the other things…

Looking used bc need it within 4-6 weeks with car coming off lease. And getting it for $43k. Good deal for 2018 60k miles?

You should consider buying whatever car you have coming off lease as its likely worth more than its residual. I dont think there are a lot of things that can go wrong, but at the end of the day its a car with over 60k miles with no warranty. You would want to set aside 1-2k a year to deal with "stuff" just like any other used car, in my opinion, till you had 4-6k set aside.

why not sign up on the Discord and start watching inventory? You can pick up a brand new RWD 3 for close to the same price with 0 miles and a full warranty along with the newest upgrades. Just food for thought if you need something quicker and don’t want to get robbed on price.

not sure, but this OP posted about buying a BMW recently, so probably not?

Never thought I’d say this…
