I am a bit confused. How is that the KBB private sale price for a LR M3 exceeds the new car price? Is this even remotely reliable? We are thinking of selling our car but am trying to set reliable expectations.

Because there’s quite the lead time for a brand new vehicle. Cash in while you can before Supply meets the Demand.
Are you trading in for something else or just selling? There’s sales tax stuff that goes into trades, I don’t know how to explain it though. Someone SMRT will come along and explain it I’m sure.

I was surprised how many new Model 3 are in stock within 200 miles of Houston. In the past, there's been zero new, but there's almost 50 right now with zero cost delivery fee. And I am not talking about demo's that are being sold as new cars. These are true new cars with only delivery miles.
So I don't think it's a good idea to pay more than new for a used Model 3. Supply has already exceeded demand around here.

I was thinking about outright selling it. I have a feeling my job will remain remote for the foreseeable future so we don’t really have much use for a second car.
Do you know of any good sites to list the car?
If you try all the common car sales sites, and then Craigslist, after the scammers clear out in the first few days, you'll be surprised that Craigslist brings the most serious buyers.

Few use KBB anymore for determining buying price. Most have switched to looking at recent auction prices.
I am a noob here, obviously, so I am not sure if this is possible - but is there a way to see recent listings?
I hear you. I have been remote since March 10th and will likely retire next year while still remote (to Texas, where gas is a little over a $1.60 a gallon). I bought mine specifically because of the SoCal traffic and the ability to drive in the HOV lanes (for free). Seriously, if I had known a year ago August about this covid, I likely would not have bought it. Up until a few months ago I had 4 cars in my stable, now I have three and one probably hasn't been driven to any great extent in a year, the other two, including the Tesla, we rotate their use.I was thinking about outright selling it.

Don't pay much attention to KBB values on Teslas as they are too often out of touch with the volatile EV market. As far as places to list the car, in addition to the traditional sites (Autotrader, CarGurus, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, etc.) you could also try the "Only Used Tesla" website or even the "for sale" section on this forum..I was thinking about outright selling it.

As mentioned by others, that's not the case anymore. I ordered an M3 LR Dec 14, and I could have picked up car today (Dec 23), directly from the factory (not a transfer). I might kill the deal because of issues with the new place here (they've been a PITA), plus no new headlights.Because there’s quite the lead time for a brand new vehicle.
That was exactly my experience for cars in the ~ 10k - 20k USD range. I'm skeptical about cars that are in the $30 - 40k range since the lion's share of people will require financing.If you try all the common car sales sites, and then Craigslist, after the scammers clear out in the first few days, you'll be surprised that Craigslist brings the most serious buyers.
