My P85 is up forsale... for the right price.
I'm being serious.
And so was the OP...
Lol... i'll out bid you, i'm offering $51k for a P85
good luck !
Yes I'm happy to sell the one pictured here, it is the one on the right hand side of the photos. Needs a little work
Based on Elon's stated guess, the Model S was expected to depreciate at roughly the same rate as the Mercedes S class (and the buyback guarantee was originally built around that premise) By that standard, I expect to see a decent 85kWh S in decent shape, 5 years old, for about 40-50k (Canadian figures, probably 30-40k in the US) making a 5 year old MS quite competitive with a brand new Model 3 (especially once you add in various add-ons, few people will want the most basic Model 3, just like few people buy the base MS)Hey everyone, here's a quick update: It would appear the Gen III (now model III) will be available late in 2017, three years from now - and guessing there's a 50/50/50k chance of purchasing a decent P85 for $50K by then. However, I could not wait a minute longer and purchased a gently used P85 for $94k last weekend! Nonetheless, I'm still wondering if once available, a brand new, fully loaded Model III will sell for more/less than a used P85....

That said, I'm not sure the prices really are falling at quite that rate due to how long the wait is for a new MS. If that comes down, the prices of used vehicles should too.
A 50K mile model S for $50K in 2 years or so
Of course what you just said doesn't change anything, that's now, not 2 years from now which is what he's asking. In 2 years you could buy a 4 year old Model S, and that will lower the cost some as well. if you $115,000 car is now worth $85,000-90,000 then it's already diminished by $25,000-$30,000 all he's asking for is another $35,000-40,000 when the car is more than double it's current age. Personally I think that's a bit optimistic on his part, but certainly not outside the realm of being realistic.I have 54k on my P85. But you're outta your mind if you think I'm going to sell a $115k 18 month old car for $50k. There's one that just sold on ebay last week that had 48.7k miles on it and it sold for $85k. I wouldn't sell mine for under $90k.

So are you saying that Tesla will stop innovating, and there's nothing new people will want on a new car?Well now with the unlimited mile 8 year drive train warranty that seriously increases the resale value. His request is wayy in la la land. Anyone who sells a MS for that kind of diminished value is a complete idiot. That old ways of valuing used cars don't apply to the MS.

The ONLY way prices don't drop for used vehicles is if there's no reason to buy new. I'm betting the new cars will be even better, which will drive down the price of the old ones.
A 50K mile model S for $50K in 2 years or so
There are plenty of other pricey things that can go wrong with an S and decrease the resale value even with an 8-year powertrain warranty. To complicate matters, there's no FSM that I'm aware of and parts seem to be $$$.Well now with the unlimited mile 8 year drive train warranty that seriously increases the resale value.

I am aware this post is early for sure, but anyone interested in selling their MS fast, here I am, willing to pay $50k. Otherwise, I am waiting to buy Gen III. Any bets on which one I get first?
