Today's Roadster Orphan

[Sig72]

Radiant red is the prettiest Roadster color IMO. Beautiful car!

 

[Roadster]

It looks different in every quality of lighting; sometimes a brilliant red/orange in direct light while other times a deep, lush burgundy red in shadow.

Listing roadster #164 soon, figured I post it here first.
Things that stand out for me are the low miles and microfiber cloth seat option.
Car never been in an accident, but does has salvage title due to theft and recovery.
Recently had Tesla Service annual service on it.
Things that need fixing is keyfob not working i.e. can't remote lock/unlock/open trunk, I forgot to ask the service center to fix that when it was in the shop. Also front mud flaps, there is an ESS warning when the car goes to sleep, but confirmed with Tesla Service that the ESS does in fact go to sleep properly so the warning is benign, an ESS upgrade down the road would likely fix it.
PM me for additional photos/info/etc.
Price 39k

Damn still owe 30k on MS. Love the color. 18 months to go.

I love this group. I have learned so much from you guys simply reading the Roadster forum. Hopefully I'll pay of my MS in another year or land a nice business contract. My two favorite colors for the Roadster is Electric Blue followed by Radiant Red (minorities with sense don't drive red cars). Another story another time. It's blue or black 2.5 Roadster for me. I just placed my name on the list for email notification for 3.0 upgrade.

I've been tracking this car for a while like to know what you guys think please. Fairfax County's Black Book (for personal property tax) states 2010 Roadsters with 21k miles are worth 50,000. It appears the CAC is not that great :- (. My math extrapolation from the photo is the car only has a range of 142 miles.

You are too kind. Waiting to learn about this contract so I wouldn't want to waste your time yet but thank you very much.

The BEST thing about this group by far is the fact if you disagree with someone, it’s just that. People take a deep breath and move on. It’s very refreshing in ANY open forum but the group here have much more depth and understanding than any other, more so being a car oriented group where passions run high

I think the passion for a roadster from most members here FAR out-weigh almost any other passion, meaning we get along FAR better than most groups. Even other boards on TMC do not appear to be as consistently helpful and respectful as this board, imo.

I contacted the dealer and was able to bring down the price to $72K. Ultimately I decided on #1339. I'm sure they'd be willing to go down further? You should give them I call.

Looks like VP31 not Sig31. VP31 was a demo car that many forum members have experienced according to a quick search.

 

[Roadster]

You're right! Thx for the correction.

Roadster VIN list

@TEG pls adjust the initial listing accordingly, thx.

 

[TEG]

Yes, I have marked it as VP31 now.

 

[Roadster]

Thx @TEG. Any idea on the VIN for that R80?

You have to wonder if it's a sport. It's possible it is, but no sport badging, non-sport wheels, wrong badging on PEM, and looks like non-sport seats (can't see for sure).
