Offers for used Tesla Model 3s are multiplying on dedicated platforms, at really surprising prices.
A car is an object of desire and is therefore subject to fashion trends. Once outdated, it loses its appeal, and therefore its value. The Tesla Model 3 has just undergone its first true stylistic “refresh.” At the IAA Mobility Show in Munich, Tesla unveiled Phase 2 of the Model 3, meaning all current models on the used market are automatically losing their appeal. And through the mechanical law of supply and demand, like on the stock market, prices are dropping significantly.
Before looking into these models offered by professionals on sites such as La Centrale, let’s check the clearance sales of the brand. When a new model is released, the old stock must be cleared out, and Tesla regularly offers pre-configured models, available for immediate delivery on its website.
Nothing particularly interesting, actually, as the older models eligible for the Ecological Bonus sell like hotcakes. Essentially, you find Model 3 Performance Dual Motor versions at more than 50,000 euros, with barely 6% discount. Add a few hundred euros, wait a few weeks, and you’ll get a newer model with better equipment and greater range. In short, better pass your turn!
Tesla Model 3 at a great price
Today, however, used Model 3 prices, with reasonable mileage, are becoming quite attractive. It’s only logical, given that owners have already benefited from the ecological bonus (ranging between 5,000 and 6,000 euros depending on the purchase date). The speculative bubble is about to burst, and the market is finally balancing between new and used cars. Mobiwisy estimates the depreciation of these used models at around 5,000 euros since the presentation of the new Tesla Model 3 just a week ago.
Admittedly, there is no solid feedback or proven experience regarding purchasing a used Tesla and the consumer experience in the 4/5 years following this purchase. We therefore recommend not leaving the official network and sticking to Tesla France, where you will be better supported and assisted in case of technical issues. Also, prioritize offers that include long warranties, sometimes up to 48 months, which is always a good idea.
Each passing day tends to lower prices, so if you can, don’t hesitate to wait a little longer, your patience will be rewarded, that’s certain.
Finally, keep in mind that sellers have little incentive to hold onto these models, whose value decreases daily. As a buyer, you are in a strong negotiating position to get a significant discount on the listed price… even if it means going back again and again. Negotiation is a fine gourmet pleasure that you shouldn’t deprive yourself of.
