Been back and fourth for weeks ever since I test a drive a LR RWD locally in the Bay Area to buy new or used. I was set on going used, but I came across someone local that doesn’t need their extra M3 reservation and is asking $500 for their spot. They initially put down $1000 for two M3s a couple years ago and decided to let it one go and buy a Model X instead.
Questions...
- If I go to Tesla’s ‘order now’ M3 site it says at the top ‘order by Nov 30 and Tesla will expedite shipping for Dec 2018 delivery. If I placed my order with a reservation from 2 years ago, would that put further down the line, as opposed to just ordering one myself today. In summary, should I spend $500 to buy someone’s reservation or it only matters when you actually configure and purchase... sorry if my jargon or process is off, but I think you guys get what I’m asking.
- Assuming buying that reservation is reduces my wait time. I’ve read about transitioning reservations over and it’s not a big deal... just change the name and email address that’s it. Anything else I should look for to make sure this happens correctly? I will be doing this in person, so the likelyhood it’s a scam is minimal/none... but any words of wisdom?
- I’m planning on a PM3, White, Black interior, no EAP. Any more of an issue with this configuration vs any other in terms helping to ensure delivery by years end?
Tx for the help/advice!
Can’t wait to place my order and get in queue...
