I couldn’t wait for MX and ordered MY in mid April , I’m happy with it. Carmax gave very high estimate (little less price than what I paid for) but Tesla has given 10k less estimate. Not sure what’s the best way … does trading MY for MX has any advantage? Or should I just sell to who ever gives me best price .
BTW Tesla only sent me text to trade in for Y couple of days ago .
Trading in rather than selling to a third party offers a slight tax advantage, but certainly not a $10k one. By trading in, you reduce the purchase price of the vehicle and therefore you reduce the sales tax you will pay. So if your state has a 10% sales tax and you knock $30,000 off the price with a trade-in, you’ll save $3,000 as compared to selling your car to a third party for the same price. But if a third party offers more than $33,000, then that’s the better choice.
