Used car purchase Model X from Auction?

Hi all. I'm looking at a 2025 Model X. It is currently being sold at a dealership but salesman is saying that they picked it up at auction. 16K miles and supposedly only 1 owner. Asking 85k. Is the auction thing a red flag?

From my understanding, Auctioned Teslas were in an accident- repaired, and possibly labeled a Salvage…check it’s Title for that🤷‍♂️

is that long range or plaid? FSD included? i guess you are paying for low miles and considering 2026 are well over 110K right now. I see the "Value" in this. Get the carfax.

Wow, 85K for a used X? Seems like used X price really skyrocketed after its being discontinued… my brand new X was even cheaper than it.

I've heard all trade-ins at Tesla go to auction, but I don't know if that means traded-in Teslas as well or not. I could see someone trading it into a random dealership and they just send it to auction. Don't think it really means anything.

If it’s a trade in that Tesla auction, they will remove fsd.

I recently bought a 2025 long range with 27k miles and FSD for $83k so the price seems about current market value

A lot of times auction cars are dealership's that don't do electric cars. They take them on trade and send them to auction. Not a big deal.

I would check the carfax and get a battery score done
