Is this a good deal on a P85 AP1 CPO?

Been lurking on the forums for few months and found a P85 with Autopilot (rare) that I finally put a down payment on. Seems a bit pricey but wanted to the community's take.

What what the price?

 

[TwitchADC]

Price = $59.5K w/no shipping fees

Think the original owner paid around $110k few years ago

I want to say it sure seems like a nice buy, but there's always someone else that finds something slightly better for the same price, or under. If it's in your range, I'd say go for it.

To put things in perspective, remember that a brand new 75D has the same performance (0-60mph in 4.2 seconds) and almost the same range as a P85 (259 miles vs 265 miles) and it costs only $64,500 after incentives. Granted, enhanced autopilot, premium seats, and premium package will add another $13,300 to the price if you want all the extras, but then you’re getting a brand new car with the latest tech.

precisely why this is a tough decision for me... but i see the 75d as being minimum 75k after incentives for me as I do want a color aside from black + autopilot 2.0 enabled + not eligible for CA rebate. So the $15k difference is material on my end.

Design variables and small things have improved since then. Also count in that most of the time these batteries worsen with age rather than miles. I would go with a new S75D or better yet price wise, find a showroom S75 non-D and it'll help you out on cost. Plus you'll get AP2 or in the new S75D case; AP2.5 and will subsequently get many many future AP software support updates and upgrades.

And you're getting a brand new car. Not a used one.
Nothing wrong with a used choice, just at this close of a price point, might as well go a little extra in and get a whole new setup.
Also in my opinion the refreshed front ends make the upgrade speak for itself!!

I'd say no. I look at the CPO listings multiple times a day and there are AP1 cars that pop up under 55K. If you want a CPO car the best thing to do is refresh the listings every 30min or so. Or get with a Tesla Adviser and let them know what you are looking for. Most of the times they will find a trade in and sell it to you before they even have it in their possession. If you aren't working with someone right now I can get Brents info(Tesla guy who helps me)

Absolute YES, go look at EV cpo hunter, avg price for p85 with ap is around 70k, not to mention its impossible to find those two combinations as tesla phased out p85 and p85+ as AP was getting introduced.

Also the lowest 75D with AP you'll find is 80k pre incentives. If you are getting the full rebate as you mentioned this isn't a bad deal at all.

If you don't buy it pm me.

 

[Jordaholic]

I agree with the 75d Argument, plus the new fascia. however, just having a P makes it seems so much cooler. Up to how you want to roll boss man

 

[selfbp]

I was in the same boat but chose an AP2 car and couldn't be happier.

 

[mcbarnet007]

go with a new 75D, the newer build and better interior and seat + having a new car is probably worth the price difference. Plus when it's time to resale, it will hold more value than a P85 AP1

 

[jjh1234]

New 75D all the way!

seems like a decent deal to me, especially if you are price sensitive and can not take full advantage to the 7500 fed tax credit.

@TwitchAD , the P85 with AP1 is a great car and about the only missing option is Smart Air Suspension, which some people may not want in a performance car. The RWD will be somewhat quieter than a dual-motor Model S, and since there's no front motor, you get a ton of extra storage in the frunk.

This is a rare configuration, as you noted. We're keeping track of all known P85 (and P85+) AP1 cars over on this thread. Do you happen to know the VIN of this Model S? If you end up buying it, please consider joining the "300" group.

Thank you thecloud, the Vin is 5YJSA1H12EFP60495.

I wonder if the previous owner was a TMC member? Would love to join if I end up buying it and if not, I'll likely let the folks in the forum know so it stays with the community.

also part of me is a bit sad that its a silver color + colored roof (nothing against silver btw, but always thought pano looked amazing on teslas).

i think based on this configuration, i'm assuming the first owner was an enthusiast of sorts as well (if he really cared about performance).

I'll def take the 75d argument into consideration. It's still a $15k difference for me at the end of the day which is material and even this car at $60k is a bit of a stretch for me financially...

i like the rarity and I love my P85+ but oddly the lack of a sunroof is a deal breaker for me... no sunroof also means no premium audio...

the 75d is a great car but people are missing the fact that you cant get the tax credit which is the big equalizer...

A P85+ with AP just sold here a couple weeks back and was better equipped...

If you dont mind the roof it is a good deal but not a great deal IMHO

is premium audio different from high fidelity audio? its listed in the car's spec sheet but wanted to understand if it was something different.

seems like the previous owner was an enthusiast, all black interior + coils + no glassroof to save weight.
