Realistic prices for Model Y?

[aparan]

Have seen some crazy ASKING prices in Autotrader, Cargurus, Carvana etc for Model Y's ( may be for other cars too? don't know). Basic LR model without FSD asking prices is $62k plus....

I guess there is a market out there? Otherwise why would someone pay the money and take all the pain to put all these up ? At

This is crazy....Carvana has quite a few LR 5 seater no FSD's listed for $65k that too with 5k miles

For some of them "Purchase in Progress" too. So people are buying for this prices

How much could I sell a brand new MY LR base for with 0 miles do you think? Wondering if I should flip as soon as I take delivery?

Since you can't sell it before you register it and get the title you would be out whatever taxes and registration fees would be. Probably break even at best.

It might work out for some states with good EV incentives, like New Jersey, where they pay no sales tax and get an additional $2k rebate. I'm not sure what the rules are for keeping the car to qualify for these incentives but I assume if they are point-of-sales incentives, it may be fine.

Unfortunately, it's tough to break even in WA with our lack of EV incentives ($45k+), 10.4% car sales tax, and high registration fees (including $250 EV fees, ~$600+(!) RTA tax in Seattle)

They really stick it to you in Washington state. So glad I live in Conservative North Carolina.

Supply and demand. Don’t want to wait 3-4 months for a new one, and pay less? Pony up.

The price is what people are willing to pay. Don’t agree with it? Get in line for a new one with the rest of us.

The state has to make it's money without income tax.

I'm in the same situation in FL. No EV incentives (at least there are some in WA), 6% sales tax, $430+ in registration fees. I thought about selling the MY if I don't like it... but I'd probably lose a few thousand and then pay the taxes/fees again if I bought another car.

I was thinking and willing to pay around 5k over to avoid the wait, but at the end, I decided against it.
