Why aren't people driving these things? I daily drove mine when I had it....
Agreed. Mine was daily driver in Vermont including through the winter for nearly years until I had a battery issue. Now, it's back on the road for 6 months after the new battery, and when it returned I decided to give it a break and not taking it out on bad weather days since I have a Model 3. Time to give it a break from the road salt! But what good is a car if you aren't enjoying! Over 83K on mine.

Selling a 2008 Roadster 1.5 - VIN 313 - in Very Orange with a like-new capacity 56kWh pack with under 7,000 miles on the new pack. This is 1 of 107 Roadsters produced for North America in Very Orange, and one of less than 50 Roadsters with the rarer factory Gray Cast Fondmetal 7400 wheels.

Mileage - 30,400 (and counting).

Asking $118,000.

Factory Options -

- Very Orange Premium Paint
- Premium Interior
- One-Off Gray Cast Wheels (less than 50 Roadsters delivered with these wheels)
- Electronics Group
- Body Color Hard Top
- Soft Top

- CAN SR Adapter included (allows charging using modern Tesla Wall Connectors and Mobile Connectors)

Notable Service History -
March 2018 -

- new 56kWh battery installed at 23,680 Miles. Less than 7,000 miles on the new pack. Current CAC is 156.49. A new pack is 157-158. It will charge to 189 in Standard Mode, which equates to over 240+ in Range Mode (I have not charged using this mode). ($16,000)
- Rear Control Arms & Rear Sway Bar Links replaced ($2,300)
- Motor Fan Shroud and Tailgate Actuator replaced ($360)
September 2019 -

July 2021 -

- Rear Tires replaced with Yokohama V601. Less than 1,000 miles on new tires
- Door Lock button replaced
October 2022 -
- Soft Top reupholstered ($500)

Condition -
Exterior is a 96/100.
Paint recently professionally corrected and CQuartz U.K. 3.0 ceramic coating applied.
- there is a small scuff underneath the front bumper from the previous owner. It cannot be seen unless you are laying down under the vehicle.
Interior is a 99/100. Due to the recent reupholster, the interior is basically flawless.

This is a Roadster with all servicing possible up to date, and a fantastic color combination. Combined with the new pack, it will provide years of happiness and faithful service to its next owner. Posting here as I'd prefer this go to a loving home alongside other electric vehicles. Please message me if you are interested. I am happy to coordinate shipping for you using my preferred transporter. Thanks for looking!

Depending on the buyer's timeline and speed of sale, I am willing to make a ridiculous deal to clear up garage space, as my 2.5 Sport that has been in service for 11 months is finally coming home this week.
