Bunch of used Teslas at suspiciously low prices

[Mr X]

All low miles, all say no accidents, yet, the listing prices are strangely low for what they are. I check all the online car selling websites daily as I'm looking for a Tesla. These were all just listed yesterday. Contacted one to see what they say. Has to be salvaged/rebuilt cars right?


Thoughts?

Gotta be. I'm picking up my replacement for my first S I totaled in Jan 2018, this week in LA. A 2014 P85+ (no AP) for $39,100.

looks like a scam site. A bunch of private sellers with too good to be true prices

Like this one

all in Melbourne, FL or La Verne, CA

You should contact the guy and ask how large the gas tank is?

Scam. they will give some excuse for not being able to send detailed pics of the car or the vin, say they are out of the country and will ship you the car if you send the payment

If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Not worth the risk.

 

[StarLog]

Why would he be in Melbourne Fl, and have a picture of the car with SNOW ?????

I will ask my friend who could drive there, and see if this is real.

My attorney advised me that it’s fine to go along with these guys, UNTIL they ask for money! DON’T give them any money until you physically examine the car. It’s a virtual certainty that you will never see the vehicle in person. I have experience with these folks and I’m confident you’re getting scammed.

Yeah that, and, have the legal title in hand in exchange for the money.

Are these the Tesla's owned by a famous Nigerian prince?

 

[whitex]

Why would anyone sell a car below what they could get someone to just come pick it up? If they were real, owners could sell them to Vroom or places like CarMax or Carvana. There is either something really wrong with these cars, or they are a complete scam. The latter is more likely. Often, these types of scams use scraped images from past "for sale" ads, then try to get away with as much cash as they can squeeze from their marks as deposits or reservation fees.

 

[selfbp]

They are scams. Same photos used years ago. They just want your info and to see how much they can milk out of you. I remember seeing that P85D at a different price (also low) on there almost 2 years ago.

 

[S-ALSET]

Fishy for sure...

I saw one of the Model X's on TrueCar at $32k and reached out a week ago, to see what they would do... They actually reply back (in this case, they said they were relocating to Ireland and had their car in Ohio, ready to ship).. They said they'd use some Escrow website, and sent a link.. But, of course, it's a phishing scam... They purchased a domain "en-us.website" and sent a link to a "PaySafeEscrow" website, but it ended in "en-us.website," instead of ".com." I'm sure there are some unsuspecting victims of scams like this, which is sad.

I did exchange another e-mail with them, and they replied.. but, at that point, I thought I'd stop and just report it... But, of course, a free e-mail service provider and one in Belgium... Didn't bother trying to trace anything, as it was about 4am, and I was busy planning a trip.

I’ve seen equally bogus Tesla’s advertised on Craigslist. Guess they are hoping to steal deposits? Hard to believe anyone falls for this anymore.

Info about the car doesn’t match, prices are unreal, car suddenly is somewhere else when you ask to see it.

All hints. Walk away...

Can you tell us the listing for it?
So fellow TMC members can see for ourselves what a scam listing looks like and possibly get it flag it with Truecar.

 

[GeorgeSymonds]

Just ignore any listing without a VIN as a good starting point and from the couple I looked at they didn;t have one.

Most of those links have now been closed too

 

[Jashev]

No issue now since they are all marked as sold ;-)
