Good deal or stay away? 2014 S P85+ w/AP1 only 10k miles - $60k

[deanofdanville]

I found a fully loaded 2014 P85+ w/AP1, only 10,000 miles for $60k.

Seems like a rare find. But when I pulled the Carfax, it lists an accident. Seller says is way minor fender damage that has been repaired and gave the name of the repair shop.

Not sure how much an accident/repair impacts the value, both now and when I'd go to sell it.

Can you ask for photos of the "minor fender damage"? Seems like a good deal especially considering it has AP1.

Does it have a clear title? I would also make sure it's still a "supported car" as far as Tesla is concerned.

 

[deanofdanville]

It does have a clean title and the work was done at a Tesla certified dealer. I might call tomorrow and see if they'll share any details on the repair.

Good advice from desoukya. Look for photos. Definitely take it to Tesla Service and get a pre-sale inspection. Check the title to make sure it's not a salvage. Since the work was done by a Tesla Certified shop, I think you are OK if the pre-sale inspection comes out OK. There is some diminished value in a car w/ a reported accident. Regardless, the price clearly reflects any diminished value, and would be a killer deal.

Original owner? Miles sound like a good deal but warranty is out in a year. Get picks of repair, or better yet have a pro detailer look over the car. They can tell you every piece of material that has been touched..mine did

Similar CPO P85's sell in the high $60Ks, so this seems pretty fair assuming the repair work was done by a Tesla approved body shop and is covered under warranty.

I recently bought a 2013 CPO P85+ with 18,000miles and spent $65K I'd jump on this

I'd wait and get a Model 3 instead. Seems like a lot to pay for an outdated Model S, especially one that's been in an accident.

If you buy the car, you can name it Pterin 4 Alpha, which is human protein sequence #P61457.

Good luck! That sounds like a great deal, assuming the fender damage was indeed minor.
