Is this a good deal?!

[zzh92]

Hi TMC Community!

Here is a used Tesla Model 3 that I'm interested in purchasing:

Year: 2019
Model: Model 3 Standard Range Plus
Exterior Color: Blue
Interior Color: White
AP Hardware: 2.5 (No FSD)
Miles: Less than 4,500

Seller asking: $36,900

Besides a couple of little dents/dings on the exterior, this is a perfect car. I test drove it and everything seems normal.

Should I proceed with buying? Is this a good deal?
I personally think it is since the owner has kept the car for a year and only put 4,500 miles on it (probably due to COVID). Rather than paying full price to get a brand new which costs like $6,000 more with taxes/delivery fees, I might just get this one.

What do y'all think?

FSD or just basic autopilot?

No FSD. Just autopilot.

No FSD. Just autopilot.

Seems reasonably priced. Same config new would be $39,990 + $1200 delivery fee.

I would agree that it's a good deal for the current times. Better deals may appear early next year, but if you need it now, do it.

Don't forget to haggle. I'd think you can get it for less it's more a buyers market right now than a sellers.

I wouldn't call the current times we are in a buyers market.

It might be getting a bit better, but I have a brother who sells cars and he was telling me they are turning down any offers below their list price on used cars. I realize he isn't selling Tesla's, and not in CA, but we aren't yet in a buyers market. Hopefully in a few months.

I am not saying don't haggle, feel free to negotiate.

Not so much on Teslas, but I do agree to try to work the price in your favor is possible.
