TESLA TRADE IN QUESTION 2019 M3P

NavyTim1991 | 2026-03-13 01:58 | 6 views

I am upgrading my 2019 M3P for new Tesla so I am curious if anyone can share their experience trading their old car in with Tesla. I have submitted mine to go towards a new car but debating if it is worth the hassle to sell it privately. It has only 37K miles and kept in good shape and has partial PPF in front. Only damage is scapes on rim from curb. Minimal has been done to it since I had it the past 5 years. \-Tesla replaced rear taillight assembly due to moisture (warranty) \-Tesla fixed my passenger seatbelt sensor and also did a “SBR” retrofit (warranty) \-Tesla replaced 12v battery \-Tesla replaced cabin filters \-I bought 4 tires 1 year ago, original OEM Overall. I felt like I had such good luck with the car compared to what I have seen from others, so I am sticking with Tesla. Technically it has been in an accident. A guy in a lifted diesel truck took his foot off the brake at a light and rolled into me, damaging the trunk. Damage was minor but Tesla authorized repair center said trunk had to be replaced, so everything needed was replaced with Tesla parts. The funny thing was after I got it back, the trunk was aligned better than it was originally lol. Since it would appear on a carfax, I went ahead and noted that when submitting the trade in offer via the app. I just want to see if anyone traded in through Tesla and if you feel like you got a decent deal. I thought there would be the tax advantage of only paying the difference on the trade in, but unfortunately CA does not do that.

What are they offering you for it on trade?

Initially $21,500. But now I had to submit on app the pictures and final offer is still pending. If I had to guess it will be the same, not more. It is not clear to me if this offer includes the loyalty $500 or if that is on top of the amount. What annoyed me was when tried the first time it was $1000 loyalty. After demo drive I submitted again and it was $500.

The loyalty offer changed for everyone, it's not related to your particular trade. I traded my 2020 M3P to Tesla in Dec '22 and they gave me a great price. Picked up a '23 M3P and just tried to trade it in last month, and the Tesla price was $8500 less than a local Cadillac dealer. I recommend you submit for an offer request via [kbb.com](http://kbb.com) and see what comes back.

Shop it around. It’s not like they are going to stop making them. There is no rush because of any tax advantages- so don’t get in a hurry. Get the most from it.

21.5 is amazing for a 2019
