Well if you lived in a country with no rain or muck on the roads you'd be fine. These days part of your park assist routine might have to be cleaning camera. People need to factor in we don't live in sunny California in the vision USS debate.
I just relying on USS for parking this time of year in this weather can't keep the cameras clean (but I don't drive a Tesla).
even without uss it has to be usable right? Can still park like a person who has spent their life relying on them? My wife is terrified of bumps as no sensors now and im trying to figure out if the cameras are going to be enough to help her or not…
Loads of MY inventory on Tesla UK. Id say loads of cancellation due to no USS.
I’m probablly going to stick with the purchase of the MY regardless of USS.
don’t think USS will feature in cars delivered to Ireland until End of Q2 (more than likely end of Q3) at the earliest and if i wait til then grant disappears on car.
now to sell my Q4
Does it get a lower NCAP rating without sensors ?
Thanks @staples7 @Gumbo.
They both seem like good options and ones I can suggest to any serious buyer.
Get the settlement figure in writing.
Go to bank with buyer. Buyer pays settlement directly through EFT. Pays you the balance.
You can also call them on loud speaker in front of them so they can hear the settlement figure.
I’ve done this a few times in the past when buying. Sounds like hassle but worth it for the right car.
I would not touch unless finance cleared, happened with a lovely r-line Tiguan I wanted to buy. Luckily they were genuine and actually took out a loan to clear the finance which they then used the car money to clear.
Most people are genuine but not worth the risk of having the car reposessed
€1300 Road Tax makes it a hard sell even repaired and with a years NCT. It’s probably more likely to go for export where NCT/Tax are irrelevant. I’d give it a wash/hoover and try to sell as is on Donedeal and if it doesn’t move, put it in to an auction in Dublin like Merlin.
Tesla has refused to give me a valuation. Telling me to go f away lol.
lads i need your expertise and advice
i have a tiguan 08. Huge specs as a 4motion just rosd tax is 1300 a year.
Excellent engine. However failed nct on one ball joint and one shock absorber. Cost to replace is 370 total. Tax up february 2022, repeat nct due by 20.01.2022. Has a couple of dents
tesla give me no money for it, what could i do?
really unsure what to do.
You will get more on DD. No hassle.
Even ring around all the small dealers and see if they be interested.
It would be a sought after enough csr but I agree with the above that the sight unseen offer on a 13 year old car.
They don’t get to see it until they’ve paid for it.
W212 is a great car indeed. However, after I bought it (and it had been through NCT), the next NCT it went through - whole underbody rusted. Known mercedes issue. They begrudgingly sorted it, but there was 2k of work.
Then the ignition bolt went, they wouldn't cover that. Type fault. A fella has a specialist workshop just doing this repair in Ballymount, 5 other W212s in there. That was 1k.
When people talk about Tesla and build quality I laugh, panels not aligning? Try owning a merc!!
But yes, a lovely car to drive, and you feel like it is a tank, yet you can get 4.5l to the 100 in a 13 year old car
What do people think about selling a car privately with outstanding finance on it? Will it put off private buyers?
Getting OK offers from two dealers (having contacted 5 - other three were lower) but would need about 2k more to justify me going for the MY.
W212? Lovely car I can see you're upset by that offer that looks like a total insult
Got to be realistic here though, that's how the trade works. I presume your car is diesel and has low motor tax, you really shouldn't have a hard time selling that yourself for a lot more than that
Personally I'd keep it until you take delivery of your next car. Avoids a lot of hassle
I'd say that's typical of a sight unseen trade offer on a 13 year old car.
Try the we buy any car sites (eg Autobuy) that give online quotes and I'd say they would line up with the Tesla price.
Youre essentially getting an offer that is a cut below what a dealer would pay at merlins. Given they can't even see the car.
2010 e class
Not worth 11k, never said that. I said range on donedeal is 4.5->10.5k
Would say mine would be lower end, maybe 5.5k
Offered 950 euro
Again, what car is it?
Is it really worth €11k as you said?
I don't think they pretend, do they? We all know the process, if you want the easy way and don't mind losing out on several thousand, "trade in" with Tesla. That's what most people on FaceBook seem to do. Tougher and tighter crowd here on boards 😁
If you take the DD price as 110% of the sale price of a car, the sale price being 100%, a good trade price being 90%, I think you'd do well to get 80-85% from tesla. Just in my experience.
Exactly
I understand completely. It's not a good sales service.
What's the point of putting their customers through this charade of pretending you're going to get a realistic trade in price if all they do is let unregulated traders offer bullshit prices
That's nonsense, don't pretend.
The OP was presumably expecting to get a lower end trade price from Tesla that would save the hassle of selling privately.
Well I’m not cancelling, prefer have the sensor but not annoyed enough to cancel
You still don't get it! Tesla didn't make you any offer at all, they don't want your car. They gave your car details to a few traders, who came up with an offer. Tesla would prefer not having to do this at all.
Tesla are targeting middle class drivers. People who normally don't sell their existing cars online.
Wasn't having the best of days and now I find out I was only ever wannabe middle class ☹️
What’s the car?
Apple do the same. Trade in iPhone 23 pro and they give you €250 off a 14 pro.
sell iPhone 13 Pro on adverts for €600.
That’s the way the world works. If your car is worth more then don’t accept trade in, buy the car for cash after selling yours for €10k.
I also think second hand car owners think their cars are worth more than they actually are because of the last few years. But that’s gone now.
I have to say, the only realistic offers I ever got on Tesla trade ins were of Tesla vehicles with 120k or below. They offered me a very very good deal on my model X, to the point I walked away with a new model 3 and cash in my hand. On the other hand when I tried to trade in my S with 175k (at the time) they offered 10k plus below market value in a rising market, and I sold it privately -cheaply - for a good deal more than Tesla would have given.
I have read the thread and expected a low ball offer, not an insult
I think they've done a wonderful job disrupting the sales process, but it has fallen down here. I'm buying a 60k car, not a Dacia Jogger. I don't want to get involved in haggling or checking bank drafts or all that shite. But they leave me with no choice, if I want a Tesla but also don't want to give the car away to a dealer via them or direct
If your car is really worth that, then sell it yourself on DD.
Why should they?
They don't have showrooms with yards all over the country. You go on-line to spec your car and to buy it. You don't walk around showrooms with a sales person blowing smoke up your arse and offering you fancy coffees.
They aren't interested in your car (unless it's another Tesla). It's only hassle for them having to off load it.
Still very much undecided.
I'd be reluctant to accept delivery with Tesla Vision only as I don't expect it will ever be on par with USS with software changes alone and I suspect Tesla accept that.
Will prices rise in the next few months? Unlikely. As pointed out already there could well be an increase in refusals due to TV/no USS.
In the context of rising interest rates and stubbornly high inflation globally, reports of lower demand in China leading to price cuts there and in Australia & NZ plus over production, you could argue that price cuts are more likely that rises. Will that include the model Y? Who knows.
