Your Tesla is now for sale. It’s possible you want to upgrade or try something new. It’s not the same as selling a gas-guzzler. It’s a new game that can be exciting, and sometimes puzzling. Let’s get going – more info.
Knowing your machine is the first step. Tesla’s models are unique and have features, quirks and other characteristics which can either be a deal-breaker for some buyers or their dream. Tech-savvy buyers may not be as interested in new updates, such as the ability to use your horn to play “La Cucaracha” (because…why?). It’s important to highlight what makes Tesla special. It will be easy to prove that the vehicle you own has had a good history. You can then feel comfortable with it. You spend more time at the mechanic than driving? Perfect! Perfect!
Did I mention photos? You should take some pictures! A glance or two will not do. Now is the time for a photoshoot. Capture the sun setting on your hood. Include some pictures of your touchscreen. People love pictures as much as they do cat videos.
Pricing is all about numbers. You may have heard of the expression “finding that happy medium”. It’s important to strike a happy middle. You will lose customers if you raise your prices too much. It’s possible to sell your house quickly but it will be regrettable. Do your research. Research the prices of Teslas in your area and adjust accordingly. If you’re a risk taker, and can hold out for the best price possible, then it could do wonders.
What is the best place to sell my electrical marvel? You have many choices. In today’s world, online platforms can be your best friend. Autotrader and Craigslist, as well as other similar sites, have been a mainstay of the car-selling industry for many years. Social media is important. Join Tesla groups on Facebook or Facebook Marketplace. Someone in your group might be searching for their new four-wheeled pride.
Connecting with the buyers is what makes this process so interesting. When you meet potential buyers for the first time, keep your senses alert. But remember that everyone is not a bad guy. Bring along a friend to the meeting and make sure you meet up in public. It’s a bit like online dating, but for cars. You can’t tell who is going to show genuine interest, or if they will bring a cashier check that you cannot trust. Ask questions. Ask questions. How familiar are they with electric vehicles? These answers may surprise you. You can avoid wasting a great deal of time by answering these questions.
Oh, the moment of truth! They’re not the only ones driving. It’s important to check how they fit in with your Tesla. Is the position of that person in this seat similar to their normal posture? Are they struggling with the controls or confused? You will base your decision on what you see and hear.
The negotiation begins when rubber meets road. Haggling is an art, whether you’re trading Pokemon cards for a car or closing a deal. Be prepared for all tactics. Take deep breaths and keep your cool. Don’t just settle or give up. A wise seller knows when to quit and when to continue. Explain to people the reasons why you are charging your price.
It’s finally time to finish the paperwork! Now is the time to cross off all those ts and dot those i’s. It’s just as important as anything else. Verify all agreements and forms. Some may not need one. You should treat this step with the same care as you would if it were a gift for a kid’s birthday.
Ask for advice on Tesla forums or from experienced Tesla sellers. You can ask for help on Tesla forums, or even from experienced Tesla sellers. Ask your neighbor for assistance if he is constantly cleaning his Model S. It’s always a good feeling when your plans work out.
