So a little over a month ago or so I made the mistake of test driving a used Model 3 AWD at a local car dealership and was instantly hooked.
Lucky for me I didn't buy that one, cuz a few days later Tesla announced the new price drops and that pretty much set the wheels in motion that it was the right time to snag my first Tesla....Thought about new, but didn't want to sell the Porsche, so I set my sights on used decided to put my 428i up for sale...
After searching the usual sites day and night for a lightly used M3 AWD model, I stumbled upon Tesla's used inventory on their website.
I was stunned by their prices being better than the local dealers and private party sellers(at least at that time) and also came with extended warranty and software upgrades for pennies on the dollar it was a no brainier...although committing $500 deposit on a car you can't even see pictures of was a but of a gamble, but well worth it if it paid off....I also saw I could get a Model 3 Performance for just a few more bucks, so I started focusing on those....After making a deal with a buyer on my 428, it was time to find the best deal I could find on the used M3P inventory
after going back and forth all day on a couple that I liked the best, I decided to pull the trigger on a low mile white on black M3P before someone else snatched it up...It was about 2 am when I got home that night and decided I better reserve it now before its gone, even though my 428 wasn't official sold at that moment...eff it, I figured it was worth the gamble
I decided on the 2020 M3P with 25,xxx miles with Enhanced Autopilot for a great price of $41,400
My heart sank when I went to reserve the car and pay the $500 deposit to lock it up with my credit card
"an error has occurred" message came up when I went to complete...huh??
I frantically try again....nope, same message
I try another credit card....nope same message "an error has occurred"
I thought for sure it was because the car was no longer available and a bit shaken
So, I tried my phone thinking maybe it was an issue with my MacBook
Thank god!! the car was still there, but no wonder the error message kept coming up on my MacBook as that was from earlier in the day on the same browser...but wait!!! it gets even better.....it also has a new price of only $40,100
I was sitting there trying to buy the car three times at the old price, but luckily it wouldn't take it...now I just saved $1300... Hell yes!!!
I lucked out big time with my timing as I checked the next day to see if the other one I was looking at sold or went down even further or if another gem popped up...
well, the other one I was eyeing went up $3000 from the $41,700 to $44,700
So.............long story short, I picked up my 2020 M3P today and couldn't be happier!!!!
She was a MINT and the buying process was seamless ...best looking Tesla on the lot with those dope ass 2020 gun metal wheels
Don't let the few horror stories on here deter you from buy a used Tesla through Tesla....it was one of the best auto buying experiences I ever had.
Picked her up this morning and could not believe how minty she was and how fuggin grin inducing fast this little sleeper is!!!!
