Yes, a few people have reported negotiating down between $1500 and $2000 at the end of a quarter so they can record the sale during that quarter. But I think you have to pay and take delivery before quarter-end for it to work.

Definitely go to the store and ask them to look. They get access to cars a day or two before they show up on the website, and the really good deals never make it to the website.
Hank, is this consolidator somehow tied into the Tesla system? I guess if I'm looking to get a CPO Tesla, I should ask the tesla store to keep on the lookout for me as well.
Thanks
Agreed about Hank's site. However, looking beyond your geographic area for a CPO that needs to be shipped (or you to be shipped to pick it up ) is not wise because several have reported problems with transplanted CPO cars, and apparently Tesla is very strict about the "you deposit, you bought it" policy. Especially if they had to transport the vehicle on their dime.As many will attest, get a premium subscription to Hank's CPOC. You can setup email alerts with your specific parameters; the CPOC updates from the Tesla CPO site several times an hour. Cheap & worthwhile if you are actively looking.

If possible, select one that you can see, feel and drive at your local sales center. That way, you're not buying a pig in a poke.

This is very wise, but it applies equally to inventory cars, as i discovered when i bought one. I would not discourage anybody from buying a car nto local to you, but i would go to visit the car prior to funding the deal and do the closing wherever the car is, then drive it back. The two people i know who did that are very happy, but that does make it a trifle difficult to make a fast decision on a really good deal.Agreed about Hank's site.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the inventory purchase. Does the federal tax credit apply to these vehicles? I was reading some info about it and Edmunds.com claims that if the vehicle is registered at all by the dealer (eg Tesla Motors) then the fed tax credit could not be taken by the buyer of the inventory car. What was the issue you had with the inventory car bought sight-unseen?
I'm assuming the addage it-couldnt-hurt-to-ask could apply if I wanted to see if they will negotiate. If they give it to me, great, if not, then I was not expecting it anyway.
