Tesla Model Y

You still don't get it! Tesla didn't make you any offer at all, they don't want your car. They gave your car details to a few traders, who came up with an offer. Tesla would prefer not having to do this at all.

The OP was presumably expecting to get a lower end trade price from Tesla that would save the hassle of selling privately.

Exactly

I don't think they pretend, do they? We all know the process, if you want the easy way and don't mind losing out on several thousand, "trade in" with Tesla. That's what most people on FaceBook seem to do. Tougher and tighter crowd here on boards 😁

2010 e class

Not worth 11k, never said that. I said range on donedeal is 4.5->10.5k

Would say mine would be lower end, maybe 5.5k

Offered 950 euro

W212? Lovely car I can see you're upset by that offer that looks like a total insult

Got to be realistic here though, that's how the trade works. I presume your car is diesel and has low motor tax, you really shouldn't have a hard time selling that yourself for a lot more than that

Personally I'd keep it until you take delivery of your next car. Avoids a lot of hassle

W212 is a great car indeed. However, after I bought it (and it had been through NCT), the next NCT it went through - whole underbody rusted. Known mercedes issue. They begrudgingly sorted it, but there was 2k of work.

Then the ignition bolt went, they wouldn't cover that. Type fault. A fella has a specialist workshop just doing this repair in Ballymount, 5 other W212s in there. That was 1k.

When people talk about Tesla and build quality I laugh, panels not aligning? Try owning a merc!!

But yes, a lovely car to drive, and you feel like it is a tank, yet you can get 4.5l to the 100 in a 13 year old car

Tesla has refused to give me a valuation. Telling me to go f away lol.

lads i need your expertise and advice

i have a tiguan 08. Huge specs as a 4motion just rosd tax is 1300 a year.

Excellent engine. However failed nct on one ball joint and one shock absorber. Cost to replace is 370 total. Tax up february 2022, repeat nct due by 20.01.2022. Has a couple of dents

tesla give me no money for it, what could i do?

1. scrap (how much can i get)
2. repair, nct, then try and sell (itll cost some cash) unsure how much ill get?
3. sell as is - how much could i get?

really unsure what to do.

I would not touch unless finance cleared, happened with a lovely r-line Tiguan I wanted to buy. Luckily they were genuine and actually took out a loan to clear the finance which they then used the car money to clear.

Most people are genuine but not worth the risk of having the car reposessed

Thanks @staples7 @Gumbo.

They both seem like good options and ones I can suggest to any serious buyer.

Loads of MY inventory on Tesla UK. Id say loads of cancellation due to no USS.

I’m probablly going to stick with the purchase of the MY regardless of USS.

don’t think USS will feature in cars delivered to Ireland until End of Q2 (more than likely end of Q3) at the earliest and if i wait til then grant disappears on car.

now to sell my Q4

Well if you lived in a country with no rain or muck on the roads you'd be fine. These days part of your park assist routine might have to be cleaning camera. People need to factor in we don't live in sunny California in the vision USS debate.

I just relying on USS for parking this time of year in this weather can't keep the cameras clean (but I don't drive a Tesla).

It's a mixture of Elon's stubbornness and cost saving in my view. Vision on ADAS is his baby and he is all in on it. But seems he's starting to listen to people internally (and customers) with radar coming back and also sensors making a return.

A small car is fine without USS but large premium car is a different story.

Not a hope Tesla will offer you what a trader is offering them, they ain’t a charity so will be taking their bit too. My general observation over the years is that a main dealer can (but often don’t) offer you as much or more than you’ll get selling privately on anything they will sell on their forecourt, but if they are trading it on then your better off selling it yourself. I sold an expensive (circa 40k) car myself recently but only got calls from traders

Tesla do seem to offer decent value on Tesla’s they will retail themselves
