My delivery date of March 19 is quickly approaching, and I've finally managed to get trade-in and self-arranged financing (mostly) figured out.
Carmax is giving me $12,800 for my 2015 Mazda CX-5 with 123,500 miles, $4,800 more than its estimated value two years ago. I'm giving Tesla a chance to give me their estimate but I have doubts it'll match or exceed Carmax. I plan to sell the car on March 16 so the funds can be deposited and available to hand over to Tesla three days later.
Financing is coming from a local credit union and that has been pretty painless, although with a trade-in valuation still pending, I don't have the final MVPA to give them. If Tesla doesn't give me a value by end of day Monday, I'll cancel it and just go with Carmax. I'm assuming this will cause the final version of the MVPA to be generated.
