if pricing is only ~$1,000....get the new one with longer warranty and newer features....acceleration is only for show....you have plenty of power and besides speed limits are 55-65....unless you are in places like Utah, Texas or Montana....I would go new
Thanks for clarifying. I did get a quote using the 2019 Performance VIN & it was approx. 15%-20% higher than what I got using a 2020 LR VIN - which is a small drop in the bucket at the purchase prices we're talking about. I will say that we did the Snapshot program with Progressive YEARS ago & we've been getting a 30% discount ever since. That's dampening the impact a bit - but still not bad at all.
This pretty much sums up where I'm at on this, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything & appreciate all the feedback. I'm in a pretty small market for Tesla & it felt like destiny that this thing popped up in my own back yard right now. I'll be curious to see if the seller gets any bites within striking distance of the current list price. Unfortunately, his biggest selling point was performance & aftermarket changes that have been negated by the default specs post-refresh. Almost feel bad for him, but probably gonna tell him to give me a call in 2-3 weeks if there's been no interest & he's ready to move the needle on price.
Sounds like the seller is stuck in the past. An educated buyer won’t pay that ask, as you note. Here’s the thing about Tesla resale value. A P, or L or Plaid will never come close to being “worth” the $20,000+ premium just for speed. The delta between the base and top end price shrinks the minute you start driving it. Do I love my P90D? Absolutely. Was it worth the $20,000 extra I paid? No, but I did get it two months sooner and does go crazy fast. Except now the base X refresh is 0-60 in 3.8s. Which is the same as my P, which means there’s no premium anyone should pay for my P...but I get to enjoy it still!
True. The Plaid+ will retain some of the delta due to range and structural battery. At least until the Aret of line move to same. We also don’t know of other changes or differentiators at this point.
