Deal Check - 2018 Model 3 RWD LR EAP

[dkduggan]

is this a good deal?

$40,000.

2018 Model
18k miles
RWD
Long range (325 miles)
EAP activated
Aero wheels
Deep blue exterior/Premium black interior

Also, I’m planning on buying tomorrow but just realized I’m about to spend $40,000 (deal quality notwithstanding) on a car that I haven’t gotten professionally inspected (and really don’t know how to). Any advice on how to do a same day inspection on a pre-owned Tesla?

For the most part, check it over like any used car. There are some decent delivery checklists on the forum. Also, I would look for a later VIN. They have an upgraded interior and other improvements, The switch was around the 15,000 plus VIN. I am not sure exactly, but the trim and bolstering are different. There are comparison pictures on this forum. Great car! You will love it!

Just make sure the owner did regular oil changes

Get a CARFAX make SURE it has a clear history, Find out if it has a bank lien. Ask owner for service records. Ask about the warranty. Ask owner to take it to his local Tesla service center todo an inspection ( You will have to pay for the cost). Get a bill of sale / contract from your local DMV get his information. Protect yourself at all times its a significant amount of money.
