FS: BRAND NEW 2023 Tesla Model X - 37 miles (SoCal)

[vstypicals]

2023 Tesla Model X

• White exterior
• Black interior
• 5 seater
• 20" wheels
• No FSD
• 45 miles (yes, 45).
• Price: $94,990 $92,999
• Location: Porter Ranch, CA 91326

This would be a pre-owned, private transaction so there are some tax benefits (no sales tax) in certain states such as Nevada and Arizona IIRC.

Unfortunately you’ll probably take a bath on this one. No one will pay the same price for a used X as a new one costs, even if it has 37 miles. There’s no tax advantage in CA for buying used at the same price as new.

Same price as new from Tesla - pretty sure seller has an angle and is going to be ok at this price. But No apparent reason for folks to purchase this vs from Tesla unless from AZ or NV

Tesla also tacks on charges of $1,390 + $250, so there is that discount vs Tesla.

Tesla continues it's prices cuts, as recently as yesterday - This doesn't help folks who purchased one in the last couple of years, resale wise....

In addition to the very real reduction in your net worth that comes with these price cuts, and all the emotions of that loss of money, the kicker is how it reduces your perception of value of the car you bought, and you feel that every time you get in.

Interesting 3 NEW (same configuration) cars come up in inventory for 93,330-94,990.

Can this guy ever make a profit after paying destination + order fee + sales tax?

 

[gaswalla]

someone with an aggressive approach to taxes (with a business) could buy an X, drive it for work purposes for 20 miles, and take a 100% tax deduction in that year (essentially capturing 40+% of the 100k paid) with Section 179... will it lead to an audit? Maybe when the IRS gets all it's people hired up.. but seller will be just fine selling at this price

With loaded guns

Doh. I totally forgot about this thread, and never got notifications. Lowered the price to $92,999. Current price of a Model X went up to $97,490. Really hoping someone from AZ or NV can take advantage.

It's not for CA buyers.

Welp it went up $3,000!

Price lowered to $92,999 (current price new from Tesla is $97,490).

Just curious. Did you buy it to flip?
Why buy and barely drive the thing?

I was offered to purchase the vehicle for $99,990 on the last day of 2022. The current selling price of the car at the time was around $119k or $129k IIRC. Bought it to replace our Model Y Performance and also a Section 179 tax write off, but unfortunately, both cars' new price from Tesla were lowered by ~$20k 2 weeks after purchase. Decided to stick with the Model Y so here we are. I do have an offer from a dealer at $86,500.

 

[Yoitskenn]

$86k isn’ttoo bad. Should take it before tesla drops the prices again.

I still shake my head: Why buy things you want to sell 36 miles later? Bleh
