Hello all,
I’ve been looking for a used model 2 under the 40k range for quite some time and have had a very hard time finding one without a sun roof (my sister had hers leak and it was a nightmare.)
I keep running into the same issue where I’ll find one I like and then there are a lot of “ad ons” the dealer won’t budge on. Like anti theft programs and a higher price for not financing with them . (I have USAA and won’t get a better financing deal elsewhere.) The model S listed at 38k becomes 44k before my very eyes. I’m looking at the private owner listings but I haven’t found one within my price range without a moonroof.
Because of this, I’ve been considering a base model S. I read the range is around 260 and that it’s locked via a program so it may be unlocked later ?
I’m conflicted because I like the size of the model S more and the indash MCU. And even if the battery does go out, once it’s replaced, it’s kind of like a new car.
But a hen I test drove a model 3- I liked the idea of “ the price is what the price is.” And the sales associate said to wait until September to order for “ unknown incentives.” Does anyone have any idea what they might be or when they will be revealed ? I’m not in a hurry to get a new car at all- but I am getting discouraged with the reality of negotiations at a used car dealership. Is there anyway I can just pay someone to negotiate for me ? I’d rather pay someone 1k than give a dealership extra $ for “extras” .
Thanks for any advice.
