Thinking about buying a used 2022 Tesla Model 3, 30k miles priced at $22k. I’ll be able to put around $20 towards it (I have a trade in worth $10k + $4k ev tax credit + $5k tax refund in April) Anything else to lookout for? Taxes and fees will be covered with my cash.

I’m honestly asking, OP… do you really want to signal your support of Tr*mp with your car purchase?

Why are you getting a 5k tax refund?

Instructions to W4

I bought a used 2023 model 3 a couple months ago. Definitely try to buy through Tesla, the process is super easy and they give you an extra year and 10k miles on the warranty. Makes it very attractive.

Purchasing was very straightforward, get the terms, sign the deal, pickup at designated time.
Only hidden costs are a) new tires could be needed and those can be on the pricy side b) charging cables, installs, adapters, etc can get to there too. I bought the mobile connector and CCS adapter and that’s already run me ~400. I definitely didn’t need the adapter but too late now

Helpful, thanks

I love my Tesla! But two things:

Insurance is crazy on these things, at least for me - I’m in NY.

Repairs for these things are through the roof. That’s also probably why the insurance is so expensive lol

Yea I got a quote for a similar VIN and it’s not crazy for me. And the repairs piece is concerning for sure, but hopefully my efund can manage. Thinking of buying from Tesla to get an extra year of bumper-to-bumper warranty

Depending on where you live, your monthly car insurance premiums may increase significantly with a Tesla

Have you driven one before? I’ve rented them and am always startled by some of the meh software, annoyed by the touchscreen vs buttons, and the road noise is way more than it should be.

Think you need to check twice IRT tax incentive, make sure meet all the criteria
Vehicles must be at least two models years old (2022 and earlier).
Vehicle must have a battery with at least 7kWh — that’s mostly all plug-ins!
Vehicles must be sold by a licensed dealer.
Vehicle must be sold for less than $25,000.
Vehicle cannot have been resold to an individual after 8/16/2022 - but sales to a company or corporate entity are fine.
Vehicle cannot have already been used to claim this credit — use the free eligibility checker below!
