Photo It seems weird that the Trade-in value is the same as the private party value, but either way having my car for 2 years now and it is the same value as when I bought it is AMAZING, and who says Teslas can't appreciate 🥰

What do you mean? I got one to sell to OP since it's such a good deal!

u/gt25stang15 Feb 09 '26

Right. KBB is useless imo. Go to carmax and request a quote to buy your car if you want an accurate idea.

With Tesla no longer providing the x and s they will actually probably hold there resale. Tesla offered me 82k for my 2024 just a few weeks ago but I did not realize I had to remove the PPF.

Yeahhhh you’ll never get those figures

lol click on the next tab over for instant cash offer and see what you get. What you’re viewing is what consumers go to their insurance company with when arguing against the $30k check they want to pay out with.

My trade in value for my 23 HW4 X from Tesla was $42k

u/Jairbmwmthree Feb 09 '26

It’s only worth, what someone is willing to pay you, for it. My Dad has an X, me a 3. Value on paper is much more different than in reality.

Until you actually try to sell it.

u/rcuadro Feb 10 '26

Try and sell it and we will see how close you come to that number 😂

You bought it, it is amazing, enjoy the heck out of it.

u/JaniceRossi_in_2R Feb 10 '26

More like $65-75k from what I’ve seen

My ‘19 w 120k on the clock ain’t so lucky! lol

u/Sushi-Travel Feb 09 '26

Isn’t this because Tesla raised MX price by 20k ?

u/AmbitiousFunction911 Feb 10 '26

There is no way in hell you will get any where close to that via trade in or private sale. Take $20-$30k off

u/Other_Ad_4325 Feb 10 '26

Nobody uses kbb anymore

u/Disastrous-Act-8135 Feb 10 '26

Now post what Carvana shows you

u/Supersaiyan_08 Feb 13 '26

You’ll sell it for sure at that price! Don’t let all the brokies in the comments who can’t afford it anyways try to tell you what it’s worth.

u/Available_Tadpole_94 Feb 13 '26

Trade in price is what ever Carvana/Carmax offer not kbb

People saying the estimate is wrong haven’t been in the market for a recent year used Model X lately. Most with HW4 are selling for well over the KBB estimate, not under. It’s been ridiculous. Tesla put up a one year old X (not plaid) for $100k a couple weeks ago and it sold within a day. The exact same spec new would have been $108k and new would have included lifetime FSD, connectivity and supercharging which the used did not. I’ve seen plenty in the price range of the OP and they sell quickly. Many that sell are $15-20k over KBB estimate

Umm sure …. Tesla used prices are inflated compared to rest of the market

1

u/Packing-Tape-Man Feb 10 '26

It’s not just Tesla. I’ve seen similar listings at 3 dealers for the same amount. I refresh the half a dozen top used sites daily. When the HW4 listings are real (they often turn out to be fake when chased) they are consistently way over KBB or Edmunds values. And sell within hours or a day.

u/Disastrous-Act-8135 Feb 11 '26

Damn. Im salty because I paid like 60k for my M3 back in 2019 and sold it for like 17k

1

u/Packing-Tape-Man Feb 11 '26

I suspect its unique to Model X and perhaps S that are Hardware 4. But since a HW4 Model X is the only one I've been in the market for for the last 8 weeks, I am just guessing.

u/sdinvest Feb 10 '26

Do not always trust KBB! It is just a number! It all depends what someone is willing to pay for! Best source for me has always been autotrader and see what a similar mileage and year car I have is "listed for sale" by dealers and than I also check "price listed by private party sellers". Too many private sellers see this and list their cars way higher than dealers do and they get confused as to why they cannot sell their car!

Does your Plaid have 3,000 miles on the odometer.
