First time poster, long time lurker here.

@HankLloydRight - Love the site. Not sure how much data you have or is available, but have you been able to determine when Tesla is likely to cut/raise prices? I'd imagine you could also create your own KBB type value for a vehicle too. Or is all of this G-14 classified?

Happens sometimes the last month of the quarter.

Still $55,000 for a 2013 60 kWh with only Tech Package and Super Charging :crying:

Keep your eyes out, and check the site frequently. I've recently seen S60's with ~ 35K - 45K miles for as low as $43K. When they pop up though, they typically last less than a day or even just hours before being snagged.

There's a white 60 with low miles posted on Portland's craigslist for $47,900

And its gone....

That was an amazing good deal. I know green isn't popular but looking on Pictures online it looks like a really sweet green/black. I will remember that for future opportunities.

Thanks Doug! I'll hold off a few weeks then.

Thanks for your comments. I could create a predictive pricing model, but (1) that's not really my forte, and (b) there are already two other guys building CPO pricing models, but I don't think they've published anything yet.

Well, I had reserved a 2013 S85 on 8/10 for 48,900 (Solid white, tech package, pano roof, air suspension, tan leather). Got a call a week later to be told that car was since rear ended, causing 18k of damage to the rear end. Now it's on to looking for another one. Problem is that any that are comparably equipped are 4 to 6k more right now. It's like it was snatched out of my hands....oh well, back to the drawing board...

Haven't discussed that yet....my CPO guy is trying to find a replacement suitable...so we'll see where it goes. They've been polite and easy to deal with so far....so I'm really not too worried.

A white CPO 60 just sold for $43800 with 31k miles. I had the credit card info filled in but didn't pull the trigger. Wasn't a fan of the interior, but that was a tempting price.

Did it have grey leather.

When is next quarter end ? Any guesses on when they would start reducing prices on cpo? seems few of them have their prices increased by as much as 5000.

September 30 and there is no guarantee they will drop any prices before quarter end.

No, it had tan interior. I like black or grey. Still a smoking deal.

Increasing price makes no sense. If something didn't sell for a lower price, will it sell for a higher price? It's not like auction, that price goes up as people keep bidding higher on that item.

BTW, the private sale prices are becoming a tiny bit more reasonable. This 2013 S85 is listed for $49,900K, but max bid is $41,802k on Ebay. 9 hours to go. It's being sold by a dealer though, so no chance of adding extended warranty.

There are listings on ev-cpo where the price has supposedly increased. Not sure what that is all about.
He also might be talking about the fact that you can configure a car for less than some of the inventory cars are listed for. I suppose its for instant (or sooner, since it will still take a month +) gratification
