Asking price?

 

[Tomek]

Honestly, I don't know. Blur Book would indicate $47,500

 

[commasign]

Take a look at ev-cpo.com to get an idea for pricing. $47k is more the price range of a used 85D or even P85D with Autopilot. I think a 2012 Model S in good condition is worth around $30k.

 

[Tomek]

I haven't seen any Signature on ev-cpo.com

Besides the optional signature red color, there's no difference between an identically configured signature and non-signature 2012 Model S.

I saw one here: 2012 Sig red Model S
Model S / 2012 / Red - 72a18 | Only Used Tesla

 

[Tomek]

Thank you.

So the price seems comparable. 25,800 miles for $47,500 vs 68,000 miles for $38

Agreed. Even with the signature red color it’s hard to imagine it being worth more than $35k and I wouldn’t even pay that, personally.

I think the problem is at $47k your competing with all the model 3's they have listed there for $46k.

Along with pretty much every 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 Model S.

Love that Signature Red color! GLWS

I think you're confusing listing price vs selling price. That car will not sell for $38K. I think paying $47,500 for a 7 year old car, of almost any kind, is insane.

I'll also say this- I know that is a "signature color" but red is not the most popular color for Teslas, based on what I've seen in selling trends on ev-cpo.

I agree but will put a little different spin on it. I got a lot more than $47,500 for my 19 year old Porsche 911(993) two years ago. Of course as Porsche fans know 993s have been in demand for several years, but only after many years of depreciating.

I could see that early VIN Signature car possibly being worth a lot someday, but probably not after only 7 years. Of course it would help if those early cars are judged as exceptional vis-a-vis later models as was the case with the 993s compared to newer 911’s like the 996’s. I am skeptical that will ever happen with the early S’s but who knows.

Fortunately for the OP owner, he only needs to find one person who wants a really low VIN Signature S right now. So why not try to find that person?

 

[EV-CPO]

In 2018, there were 10 used 2012 Sigs sold on Tesla.com.

 

[EV-CPO]

Oops.. those are just the red sigs. There were actually 21 2012 Used Sigs sold in 2018.

Just for kicks, I ran a query to see what are the most popular colors.

“Original”??? You know Tesla was making their signature car 4 years before your car.

You got that right

 

[TampaRich]

Gotta believe this rare car will be worth over 6 figures in about 10 years.
