I’d take that!
More or less reasonable but at 4K delta you’re more likely to see an EAP configured car.

Definitely the sweet spot currently since HW2.5 FSD cars are pretty much stuck in the same boat until HW3 upgrade and divergence.I’d take that!
I’m on the hunt as well.
I prefer LR, but really the SR+ would be just fine as my daily driver.
ISO:
LR RWD $40-41K without FSD or $44-45 with FSD
or
SR+ $36-37K no FSD, or $40-41K with FSD
On your feet, lose your seat. You snooze you lose. He who hesitates, has had it.I’d take that!
Every car is negotiable with a private seller or third party dealer unless they don’t want to sell it. I took about $3K off the MR for a serious buyer with cashiers check in hand that completed the transaction within 48hrs of contact.
You’ll find that most people who post their Model 3 for sale are sellers of opportunity. If they can get someone to pay them a premium for the car, they’ll *reluctantly* let it go, otherwise they’ll *happily* keep driving it.
With our MR it was a little of column A and a little of column B since the Mrs wants a Y or a well priced X and we have spare cars anyway.
I’ve been going around with cash offers as well for the last few weeks. I’ve noticed that saying “I’ll meet you at the bank end of the day today with cash” doesn’t have the impact it usually does because banks are usually holding the titles and the cars are financed. I’ve come within 1k negotiating with a cashiers check and the guy wouldn’t budge.
One time a guy took my cash offer but only if I accepted the fact that (and he just disclosed this) that 3 wheels had light curb rash and essentially used that negative factor as a bargaining token, lol. So I took another 2k off my offer and no deal.
it seems that with the NJ 5k rebate, for me anyways, it’s now cheaper to just spec out a new car because cash doesn’t have the same impact in this market with the mix of delusional and desperate sellers (No offense to model 3 owners). I’m glad NJ came up with that incentive. Only downside is it seems to be limited at 55k sticker price cars so the p3 is just slightly priced out of it unfortunately.

Like I said, sellers of opportunity.I think a lot of the sellers listing SR/MR/LRRWD cars are just testing the waters to see how much they can get because they want to upgrade to a higher trim level Model 3. So they don’t really need to sell their cars. They may just want to get a car with longer range or better performance if they can do so without spending a lot of extra money. This may be creating the unrealistic ask prices we are seeing.
Oh my.Honestly, and I hate to say it, but if I can't find the right TM3 before summer, I just may get a 17 Honda Civic and call it a day (at least for a year or two, then save up my money for after the Model Y has done it's work on the market). Might be the "smartest" option given my financial situation.
Oh my.
Anything but a civic!
I really don’t feel like Y will wreck 3 values as you anticipate (worst case is a 10% depression and even this will be in line with 3’s being older and having more miles on average) There are many of us waiting on Y to replace another vehicle or add another electric.
Still above what i'm comfortable with unless I go 84 months, but that interest is going to eat my bank account up.
