"Used" Purchase fees

[Choochoosparky]

Hello everyone. I am ready to pull the trigger and purchase a used MS. I've been searching and saving for months and finally am ready to buy one. I've been going back and forth to calculate what payments would be and have tried searching but could not find an actual answer as to what the fees included in the price of the vehicle are in California. Is there a destination fee, registration, etc? Also, if anyone has suggestions as to what banks/credit unions (socal based) that would be greatly appreciated too. Can't wait to finally join the Tesla family once and for all!!

Registration is about 600. And then sales tax. Other than that no fees unless delivery fee.
Check datatrac in your area for best credit union rate.

I got possession of my used MS 90D 3 weeks ago in northern California. Zero hassle process, You will pay registration fees $600 and sales tax based on the city you live in. You can ask delivery of financing related question to your delivery advisor or service advisors. These were 2 different people in my purchasing process.

If you're buying directly from Tesla (CPO) or used car dealership, they should provide you complete Motor Vehicle Purchase Agreement (MVPA) with all the fees included, to get the car out of door. Registration will be one of them. Also would be good idea to check on car insurance options before you buy. Teslas may be quite expensive there.
I see you guys pay taxes on private car purchase in CA - that's a bit insane.

Thanks for the help guys. I did not know about that datatrac site and that helps out a lot! Getting that much closer to having a MS parked in the driveway!!

Not to mention we don't get a sales tax credit for trade-ins when buying new.

Still, I feel lucky compared to states like VA that pay like 5% property tax on their cars - every year!
