Today's Roadster Orphan

[DeedWest]

Ugh. 1187 has my heart rate at an all-time high.

 

[Indian Steve]

#521 is no longer an orphan! Thanks for the help and insight guys!

 

[TEG]

Congrats! Enjoy!

Thanks for thinking of me. It looks like my savings are going towards a Model 3 rather than a Roadster...

That one had been sold at auction recently. Something seems off with the rear bumper...
2011 Tesla ROADSTER 2.5 SPORT / 5YJRE1A37B1001171
View attachment 247218

$63,888 on a 2.5 Sport with low miles sounds too good to be true, so I checked the Carfax and there is report of "Damage to left side" on 3/30/2011. I think this explains the gap.

Whoops, yes indeed @TEG. Pls adjust the original post's link accordingly if you can, thx. [ Mod edit: Link fixed now ]

I think you're right! If so, then that 100K+ miles is correct! @gwagen27, guessing this is your ride? Original For Sale post here.

Any opinions on why 241 is still an orphan? It's been at Starwood over a year and I am just wondering why. I can say from seeing it in person that it shows very well and more importantly is got the @DeedWest stamp of approval: Introductory post and roadster questions

Only reason I didn't consider it is because as a Texas Aggie, orange is sacrilege in my house! I feel like it deserves to be featured

I bought this car. It is currently parked in my garage in Southern California.

@hsull8915, totally agree with you about #241. The fact that she's a 1.5 with Xenons and a 2x DIN Infotainment upgrade to go along with a sweet color matched interior should be reason enough for someone to make a move. However, my understanding is that Starwood's at their bottom line price.

@Falcontech, congrats and welcome! Yet another orphan finds a new home here in SoCal!

 

[TEG]

I don't recall seeing any other 1.5s with the real Double-DIN like that.

I briefly spoke with Starwood over the phone about #241 several months ago. They told me they purchased the car almost a year ago for $65k thinking it'll go up in value, so they're taking a huge loss at this price this is the case.

 

[Indian Steve]

I also talked to Starwood about #241 and he told me the same thing. I was very tempted to go that route but wasn't sold on a 1.5 so I passed on it.

I bet that is #707... And if so, I think it is NOT a Sport. We don't see any Sport badges anywhere, do we?

Bought it in August. It is not a sport.

Congratulations and welcome to the club.
