Hey everyone.
After years of thinking and preparing, I'm just about ready to buy a CPO Model S. I've already planned for the $1000 deposit, up to $1500 shipping, sales tax, licensing and registration. What I would like to know is this -- what other fees are there that come out of pocket, before the deal is finally done? I need to make sure I have enough money set aside for it.
Based on past experience buying cars from dealers, there are almost always other fees you only find out about when trying to do the paperwork. Destination fee, this-or-that fee, dealership-bathroom-toilet-paper-restocking-fee, mysterious-transaction-fee, etc. But this is Tesla, so past experience is worthless. What other out of pocket fees do I need to prepare for?
Thanks,
Future Model S Owner
PS: I do have one additional inquiry for anyone who has picked up their CPO car themselves, rather than paying for delivery. How did this affect things? Does the delivery fee go away completely? Did you just have to fully buy the car sight unseen before you could bring it back to your local area?
