WIW (Whats it Worth) - 2013 S40

Saw the wink there... But, I think many were ENTICED to get upgrades to the car...
Looks like a pre-cursor to how the $35k Model 3 will probably sell at a higher average price.

This S40 has been on ebay for a while:
Tesla: Model S
There was one other white one which disappeared recently, interestingly enough after the seller removed any mention of the 40KWhr battery capacity reference or the "S40" model (you could still tell if you decoded the VIN though). I thought maybe he upgraded to 60 in order to sell, but then he'd mention it for sure in the description, so unlikely.

I think a 40 is probably worth what a similarly equipped 60 is, minus ~4-6k (so maybe $40k). There's a lot of people who just want a Tesla, and don't care which one, propping up the low end prices. I can think of about 400k people who would want one in the high 30s. The $11k upgrade fee is a fantasy at this point given the modest range increase.
I finally decided on keeping mine for the long term. With so many Model S on the road, parts will be easier to get second hand once out of warranty.

Alright, folks, what say you about this:
2012 Model S (production date 12/15/12)
85 kWh battery
Textile seats
White
Pano roof
Smart Air
No tech package
51k miles
Tesla CPO
VIN # P02413
Asking $41,800.
My concerns are that it seems to be an early VIN and the mileage. Also not having tech package means to turn-by-turn and no power lift gate, but I don't really see those as a big deal. Good buy? Am I missing anything important to consider?

That doesn't seem like a bad price. I think nav could be added as a retro fix or just use separate GPS. Don't CPO come with a warranty?
I was looking to buy. Just got a S85 the other day.
Yes. 4 years 50k miles from the date you (the CPO buyer) purchase it. I ended up putting down a deposit on this one. See this thread, which I started after this one wasn't getting many views.
I would say around 46-49k. It's nice you can still opt-in for the extended warranty. I think the 2013's are a little harder to price since many changes were happening, like parking sensors and folding mirrors on mid and late models that casual buyers may not realize but informed buyers know the difference and price accordingly.
Here is a S40 with 30k miles listed on Beepi: Beepi | Buy a Beepi-Certified Tesla Model S
$46.1k list price. It has leather seats, but not sure what other options it might have. $46k seems too high, no?

I would think you would knock $10k off the price of a similarly spec'ed S60 for a reasonable S40 price, right? So that 40 should be listed at something like $36k or less. Especially if it doesn't have many options on top of leather seats.
