Kind of stuck in a rough place. Been looking at a Tesla for awhile and after complaining about spending another $100+ filling up gas for my 2014 Infiniti Q50s, went down the rabbit hole. Long story short, with the $8k rebate, great price on the SR+ we ran the numbers and made sense for us to trade in our car and get a model 3.
Went by the dealership, did a test drive (fell even more in love) and talked about trade in. sales rep said they use auto trade pricing and after looking it up with them range was $18k on the low and $23k as the high. Said they usually go on the low side which is fine, $18k + tax savings of a trade in is about $21k, perfect.
Fast forward, we submit pics and all that and trade in offer comes in at $13,500
Numbers no longer make sense..
Few options I looked at, can sell privately and hope to collect $18k, but then im out of a car for 6-10 weeks which is not an option.
Go ahead with purchase, finance the $18k-$20k and sell after. But then what if I can't sell it? Seems like quite the gamble.
Now im sitting here wishing I never test drove this damn beauty of a car
