"High Mileage" CPO

[Chargersflyer]

Wanted to start a discussion regarding the CPOs were released today and will continue to be released. It appears that they are mainly 2012-2014 with >50,000 miles. They come with a CPO warranty of 2 years or 100,000 miles (whichever comes first). As I have been lurking on the sidelines for a while now, these may be a nice place to jump in as a first time EV/Tesla owner. I have always been a buy a used car that is the newest year model and lowest mileage that you can afford. These do not fit that description but the risk/reward of purchasing one of these appears relatively minor. Wanted to capture the forums views on "high mileage" Teslas and the value of the warranty, plus residual value in 2-3 years. Thanks for your comments and insights.

I'm going to bet that many of these are ex-loaners. I was at the Houston Westchase service center yesterday to get a few small parts, and they were prepping 6 new 90D's as their new loaners. Apparently the previous 85 & P85 loaners are now going into the CPO program.

I would not be apprehensive about the high mileage on these CPO's. As long as the vehicle is clean and has the 2 yr/100K mile warranty, I think they could be a good buy.

Dang, there's a P85 with 93.6K miles for $36,500. Only 6000 miles left on a CPO warranty on that one? Pearly White no less.

Is the two year warranty specific to these cars, or this this a new classification of CPO? CPOs typically carry a 4 year, 50,000 mile warranty.

I totally would have bought one of these if they had been available 6 months ago when I was shopping. I have zero heartburn with high mileage Model S's

how did you find this?? i couldnt pull it on the tesla.com site nor the evcpo site. just curious/ thanks

 

[twonius]

All the cars under $40k are gone.

Honestly there were some good deals in there, probably some will turn a profit flipping them.

Damn I was thinking about doing that. There was an 85 with 68k miles for 34.5k plus transit fee!

 

[HankLloydRight]

There's 23 more under $40k listed now.

Pulled up in ev-cpo classic, sorted by price. It's now sold, but it was there earlier.

I tend to use the classic list for its simplicity, like using a spreadsheet.

pulled the trigger and upgraded to a red 2013 p85 with studio sound, air suspension, and pano roof. the exact same config as my current 2013 60kwh for less. now i just have to sell/trade in my old dependable ride (

Is high mileage even an issue with a Tesla? I know with an ICE all kinds of things can wear out and go wrong as the miles add up, but how about an EV?

Tesla adds lots of Certified Pre-Owned Model S vehicles for less than $40,000 with new warranty

The automaker is now listing a lot of new Certified Pre-Owned Model S vehicles for less than $40,000. While you could sometimes find a used Model S in the $40,000 price range from different resellers or directly from the owners, it was rare to find a used Tesla Model S for that price in Tesla’s Certified Pre-Owned program. Under the program, the vehicles receive a full inspection and a four-year, 50,000 miles limited warranty with 24 hour roadside assistance on top of the remaining years/mileage of their battery and drivetrain warranty. But now Tesla is introducing a new version of the program for high mileage cars. They added dozens of them to their list and several are just over $30,000:

These vehicles also receive “a full inspection, remaining battery and drive warranty”, but they get “a two-year, 100,000 miles maximum odometer pre-owned limited warranty with 24-hour roadside assistance” – instead of 4 years and 50,000 more miles.

The pricing here is really strange. Seems like they are paying a lot more attention to "model year"/options than to mileage.

I think you're correct re. provenance. The approach at the busiest service centers has/had been to turn many trade-ins into loaners to meet demand. Now that tesla is moving back to the original approach, using their most top of the line possible car as loaners, they have to move these "legacy" cars.

As a side note, how are the SASs holding up with high mileage, any experience? i.e. prone to leakage? That would be one thing I would be mindful of...it just "feels" like it could be expensive to fix out of warranty.

 

[EV-lutioin]

Just had a 2013 loaner for 3 weeks and I can say with a fair amount of confidence that that old car was still frickin' awesome!

 

[mbhforum]

While these prices are low, they are very close to what a new m3 will cost that includes has AP capabilities. Still a great way to get into a model S though!
