thoughts on #52?

The car looks good and the price is very fair. I also bought mine through Yahoo motors. The car should have an extra year warranty as I think the first several hundred had a 4th year added to compensate for the delays. I would check the ideal miles after a STD charge and make sure you see 175-185. If not I would make the sale contingent on a servicing. Good luck

08's have a 50k warranty as well I think

Neb sold his 08 with 6k miles for $66k so it's about right for a dealer. I think the best used roadster deals will come from owners in Colorado like Neb where they possibly got a 38% discount ($42k tax credit if they pay that much anyways) so they can sell below the market price and come out almost even. Maybe you can negotiate with Webb to get a bit more of a discount because of the mileage - but definitely check the tire tread and battery -good luck!

..., but a used roadster near vfx's price target still feels warm & fuzzy.

As an owner I hope resale prices remain high and get higher as the last new cars are gone.

Just sayin'...

If only I could swing it. Sig green with microfibre would suit me well. Plus in my home town. Oh well...

you need $6 per TMC post and would walk away with some spare change...

Since electric motors are good for millions of miles the the miles on a Roadster should not matter expect for visible wear like carpets and rock chips.

I think we should pass the hat ...

That would be one big hat! :biggrin::redface:

Made a different thread for #66:
#66 in Palo Alto

Do you really think that this one is only worth 48K? Why? I haven't heard of any trading for less than mid-60's. What am I missing?

Thx.

VFX may have meant to be stating the mileage limit on the warranty.
