This week's EV bargain that I'm not buying

unkel

It's very rare. Big benefit is that it actually has cup holders in the rear

One of the criticisms I have of the car is that there is virtually no storage anywhere. Apart from that ridiculous shelf under the screen. Whatever you have in there goes flying into the rear of the car whenever you give it welly

I would have thought it was virtually sale proof as a 4 seater. I would imagine anyone looking for an S is thinking 5 seater

That was a very short lived option, crazy setup and not at all practical, apart from screwed to a 4 seater the rear seats don’t fold, horrible idea

Black_Knight

Ah. I'd spotted that one a few times and was curious would it's price start to drop. Now it makes sense why it's not sold. Non folding seats is a deal breaker really.

Must look out for a car with the centre console upgrade

unkel

You can get the centre console aftermarket from the likes of TapTes. It's very good but I'm too mean to fork out the €400 or so for it

You can get a cheap one from the likes of AliExpress, but I'd be afraid it would just look cheap. And I quite like the yacht floor, just need the cubby drawer (ordered it 3 months ago, hasn't arrived)

And back to the bargains, I'm surprised the dirty Leaf is still for sale:

One for ELM327, this must tempt you!

2017 Model X 100D Ludicrous, FSD, GBP57k

ELM327

It does, but MCU1, and not in Ireland.
I won't be buying from Tesla UK again.

There is an equivalent on the Irish site (with free supercharging) for 90k EUR.

I checked with tesla and their pathetic trade in value offer had dipped from mid 30s a few months ago to below 30, so I wont be trading in with them either.

How long do Tesla typically take to come back with a trade in offer? Popped in mine for the craic, no word back though.

Couple of days usually. I sent in 3 offer requests in the time I've had the car (any time an interesting model comes up in the Irish inventory!)

Does that ever happen? Can't say i've ever seen a car on the Irish inventory.

Took them 4 weeks for my i3.

Yes, there's a 2017 P100DL model X at the moment

2 year warranty and if you really want it, Tesla will probably offer the upgrade to MCU2 for around 3 grand. I get it you don't want to buy from Tesla UK, but in this case there is likely 10k or more in it

And yeah, the trade in is a problem, you'd think they would at least handle trade ins for second hand Teslas as they sell them (no matter how old) from their forecourts. An offer of below 30k (EUR, Irish site?) is pretty pathetic alright

slave1

Tesla do not want a trade in Tesla that has had more than one owner...

Is there?

Shows nothing for me.

The UK site has a 2017 X P100DL alright

It's gone since yesterday.
It was up for a while at 94k.

Yup. I wasnt expecting top dollar but sub 30-35k is pretty pathetic. Given that if it were to be auctioned at a dealer lot for parts it would nearly reach that.


I know the mcu upgrade is there, but , mark my words (until they open the store in belfast) I wont be buying another tesla from tesla uk after the last horrorshow.

Makes the UK one at £57k a bargain so (spec dependant).

57k is what, 63k or so in EUR, then you have another say 500 to bring it back, the hassle of not being able to finance a car not on irish plates, then the VRt which would still be quite high on a 2-3 year old model X Performance Ludicrous.


Still, probably a 20k saving if you can make it work.

Same car now on auto trader now for £33,900

Wow, literally bought from Tesla for immediate resale, suppose that's the market's way of saying buying from Tesla is (sometimes/in this case) way cheaper.
£29,600 off Tesla and just 83miles put on it.
Nice flip

unkel

Was that the AP1 car? If so, that was a bit of a misprice. Going rate for pre-facelift non-AP1 Model S is GBP30k, for AP1 it's GBP34k

I've had a look on both DD and AT several times in the last week, see could I find any bargain EVs, but there were none. Apart maybe from an Ion in Ireland that you'd probably pick up for about €4k

Least you can see real pics now.
Was a nice car at 29,600 if very basic.

Black_Knight

Yeah, very quiet this week or so regards bargains. Everyone too busy enjoying the easing of restrictions.

No , this was the non-ap but otherwise decent spec (Panoramic Roof, Dual Chargers, Air Suspension)

unkel

Cheapest CPO car now a pre-facelift 70D AP1, for GBP39k. Not super value for money.

Cheapest facelift is GBP41.6k and it's white and doesn't have AP1 - terrible value for money...

I had it saved as I was seriously considering it.

Nice margin flipping that for the dealer

Especially since the warranty is with Tesla for 2 years.
