Update on my trade-in (interesting info imo)
I’m the guy who test drove 14 vehicles before buying my ‘26 MY LR RWD Premium.
In that post I noted the trade-in experience I had with Tesla. I had a ‘20 Civic Si Sedan with only 14.5k original miles, with the only issue being a few small (less than a dime-size) dings on the passenger front and rear doors from parking lot jerks.
Over the course of the two weeks to place my order, my trade-in went from $24k to $23k to $22.6k to finally (after pics) dropping to $22k. This was the same price adjustment offers that CarMax was offering.
Well, I tracked my trade-in by VIN, and it looks like it’s for sale finally for $26,395 from some company called OffLease Orlando (VIN 2HGFC1E59LH706994 for proof). They don’t have official pics up yet, but that’s what I paid brand new off lot for it.
So if Tesla gave me $22k, I wonder if this went to auction and this OffLease place bought it or if they are associated with Tesla? Perhaps they broke even with my trade?
Just something I found interesting. Thanks!
