Model 3 - LR RWD/Pearl White/19”/Black int/EAP/FSD

[MarkZinger]

Hi everyone,

Recently put in an order for a LR AWD, looking to part ways with my car.

Car details:
October 2018 build
Pearl White
Black interior
19" Sport Wheels
Enhanced Autopilot
Full Self Driving
17,500 miles at the time of this post

Additional info:
Rear "T" emblem has been debadged and replaced with Abstract Ocean's Performance Emblem.
Center console has been wrapped with Abstract Ocean's matte white vinyl wrap.
MCU/display has been covered with Abstract Ocean's tempered glass screen protector since delivery/day 1.
DIY ceramic coating applied by yours truly, using CQuartz 3.0 UK.

Car has regularly been vacuumed and handwashed with Optimum No Rinse and 500gsm detailing towels from the Rag Company.

As you can see, it's very well taken care of. As such, I believe a price of $46,000 firm is fair for this car.

I am located in Chino Hills, CA.

Please don't hesitate to ask any questions.

Some pictures I have onhand, can take more on request:

Aim for 42-43k OP

A brand new 2019 AWD LR (white/black/19s/FSD) is $54,490 +$1200 destination fee - $1875 federal tax credit = $54,815

$46,000 is a 16% discount, to account for depreciation (20% is standard for 1st year) and reduced value/performance (RWD vs AWD).

James, what about the high mileage? Is 20% depreciation fair on a year old M3 car with 17.5k miles? Curious...

Great looking car but 46k come on man

Average yearly mileage is 13,500 in the US. The 17,500 is slightly higher but not outrageous. I personally wouldn't expect seller to discount for mileage, especially for an EV that isn't subject to engine/transmission/brake wear like an ICE car. Also seller appears to have taken better car than most owners, so personally I'd say the better than average condition would offset the higher than average mileage.

20% depreciation would put this car $43.8k. Being RWD instead of AWD, personally I'd say $42k is a fair value.

Plus he received the Federal Tax credit to offset his costs. Gorgeous car, GLWS.

It doesnt really matter what OP paid a year ago because no one has a time machine to go back and order them at that price. Also not everyone was able to take advantage of the entire $7500 federal tax credit and $2500 CA tax credit. All that matters is what a new model is currently worth.

When I build a white LR AWD with 19's is about $50k before any applicable rebates. That's the car I'm looking for.

You're missing FSD in your price compared to the other poster.

I'm about to buy a AWD in white in LA area- was hoping to find RWD LR in white, but like others, this does seem a bit high. Do you have interior pics?

Camthehombre, he was banned which is why you can't pm him.

Wonder what happened...

Probably a moderator was/is selling a used tesla with crazy pricing in mind

 

[MikeR55]

Banned? Oh man

Didn’t know he was banned but I did notice that it’s been allot more peaceful around here. Good luck OP with the sale. A fair price is what the seller and buyer agree in. Have a great day!!

Perhaps the moderators finally got around to looking at that P90DL thread with DaddyS and crew.
