I received the blanket text message after the factory re-opened to complete the profile and payment. That was at eh last week of April. I put in my trade in information and photos uploaded to the Tesla Site. A day later I was sent a quote of $27,500 for my 2019 Volvo CX40. I wasn't happy with the amount so I removed the trade in.
2 months later I got the message that my Tesla Y will be available for pick up between June 25 and 28. I tried to put the trade in back and with a little help from the show room staff, they reinstated the trade in option on my account and the $27,500 trade in amount. I went to Carmax and got a quote of $30,000. With Sales tax allowance it's about equal to Tesla. Than I took the car to the local Volvo Dealer and got a quote of $31,000.
Still not happy I went on Carvana. It gave me $34,500. With that information I immediately deleted the trade in on my account and planned on selling the car to Carvana. A day before my MY delivery I went on Carvana and asked for another quote. To my surprise the offer went up to $35,854.
As soon as I picked up the MY I went online and sold the car to Carvana, I picked a date for them to come get my car. On Monday this week they came, I signed a few pieces of paper, signed and handed them my title and I got the check for the full amount. They didn't test drove it; not even a walk around the car. Took the check immediately and deposited. A day later the check cleared and money in the account.
In summary for the trade in:
Tesla offer $27,500
Carmax $30,000
Volvo $31,000
Carvana $35,854
A point to mention was that I also got a quote from Carvana back at the end of April and Carvana quoted my the the car was qorth about $34,500 and had to deduct about $4,000 "local market adjustment". The latest quote was also around $34,500 but with the addition of almost $1,400 market adjustment up to $35,854.
I think my non trade in worked out well. Some of you may not have good experience with Carvana but for me I have no complaint.
