CPO Inventory, experienced opinions welcome :)

Any reason you’re looking at CPO for cars this new? A brand new M3 is $56k, not terribly much more. Not sure what your budget is. Hard to say why someone would sell a car that soon/low mileage without the carfax. Could’ve just hated the car, repo/couldn’t afford, first EV and didn’t realize what they got themselves into. If I had to pick I’d go with one of the 2025s with the lower mileage. That $47k one with 5400~ miles seems like it would be a good pick, but if you can swing the extra $3k for the other with the white interior, might be slightly more helpful in the Florida heat. I’d find a dealer is much more reputable than some Joe Blow off a private sale lol. They’ll have the carfax for you. Teslas sell themselves, I don’t really see a dealership trying to hide anything just to push a sale.

appreciate the feedback - car will be in jersey, so i'd be paying for delivery as well. Honestly, I didn't have intentions on going this high, but as I dug deeper into trims (performance vs premium) and MY differences, 22 vs 23 vs 24.. I'm seeing a lot of talk about the 22/23 performance rides being significantly harsher, prior to refresh.. I actually like driving, so FSD at this point isn't that enticing to me.. so HW3 vs HW4 wouldn't necessarily scare me away - unless the OS performance is that much worse? Overall, I seemed to get the opinion that the quality was vastly improved in the highland refresh - which is what brought me to start looking at this end of the spectrum, but if the performance prior to refresh wasn't really that much worse, i would have def looked MY 22/23 in the 3Xk range.

I think the fact they’re showing lower mileage than the 2024s at less than a quarter of the mile may be why.

Interesting. Did they not have any closer to you? Buying new from Tesla, they’ll deliver it right to your house (believe that comes with the price - destination fee). My first Tesla is a 2024 Highland so unfortunately I can’t speak for how it rides compared to previous versions. But I can say it’s a very smooth ride, handles really well. I don’t use autopilot or FSD or anything either. The OS for regular use works perfectly fine. I did hear the quality is better on the refresh. I don’t have any weird panel gaps, pieces falling off, build quality feels solid, etc. I think whatever one you end up picking you’ll be happy with. Tesla is one of the best EVs on the market (my other is a Kia, which is a fine car but the software and app are dogshit).

I’ve bought two this way, one was basically as good as new, the other seemed like new but under further inspection there was tons of mud caked up above the protective sheet under the car. Tesla did clean it out for me, but it seems weird they wouldn’t notice that as part of their inspection.

CPOs are popping up in the low 40s now, a significant amount in savings compared to new with many having less than 10k miles.

The Model 3 Highland is a significant update with increased power, better ride and handling across the line including the M3 Performance.

Through the Tesla site right? Feel like I’ve seen the same few on the site the last few days, not sure if there are any tips /tricks for keeping up with new listings.

I got me a 24 M3 LR AWD with 2k miles for 38k CPO from tesla (kissimmee). W the 19 inch rims. had it for a couple months so far and no issues, car did sit for a long time without use, hence the low miles, the tires had flat spots that made it vibrate at hwy speeds, tesla did warranty them and fully replaced for no cost. not even the service ppl could believe they sold it that cheap, been looking weekly thru the cpo list and there's nothing at that price also the seat switches were glitching and they replaced them in 15 min for free some factory paint issue the size of a thumb they're fixing for free no carfax, no damage, nothing weird, car smells newer than new id buy it all over again

What was full retail at that time? Thanks for the data point!

Got my M3P the same way. Examine the car hard on pick up day and reject it if you see something you don't like. If something goes wrong afterwards, you will still have the warranty to cover it.

this was 2 months ago, with taxes and fees I ended up paying 40k? and a brand new one with all and all was about 52-54k. didnt get tax discounts or anything. yes, im missing out on a stalk and front camera, but bought some aftermarket stalks and the parking assist without the bumper front camera works decent enough, don't really miss it 12-14k savings for the same car, same warranty since they add an extra year for being CPO, the battery is degraded (about 7-8%) but thats normal the first year, also thats about 30 miles which aint much

Yea the prices on the trim I’m looking at are close enough that it’s a toss up between saving some on new or just biting the bullet

What website is this?

Just purchased a 2024 M3 with 12k miles CPO. Reasons we did it through Tesla: \- Reconditioning \- Tesla seems to state if they made repairs \- You get an additional 10,000 mile/1yr warranty added on after the existing remaining factory warranty \- Tesla delivery experience is fantastic compared to traditional dealers and their finance departments ALWAYS check Carfax regardless. Do your homework. I'm in Phoenix - and the color/spec we wanted was not in high supply even in a metro with over 5 million people - we had to ship as well.

I see that you're still deciding which year and trim to get, id say, after getting a loaner that was prior gen, get the highland yes or yes, its worth the price, the interior feels way more solid and new, all previous issues were fixed, NO SQUEAKS AND CREAKS, fast and the styling is sublime, do not even think about older gen M3. Also FSD is pretty much obsolete on older gen, be future proof, you will use it trust me. trim wise get the LR RWD, more than enough and you will get plenty of range, if you want the faster and better speakers, get the LR AWD. I tried the performance and even tho its a rocket, you will not use it to its fullest if its a daily car, and tbh not worth 10k extra if all you will do is going home from work. The awd is plenty fast, the rwd is slower but more than decent. I'd say dont get the standard since the battery is smaller and overall the slowest, only saving a couple G. Also buy it used, these cars depreciate hard the first years, anything under 15k miles is brand new to me, keep looking or wait for deals

The classic "but I like driving" argument against FSD. Trust me, I love driving too but not all roads are fun twisties. You will absolutely come around to it when you realize this thing can fully handle long mundane road trips, brutal commutes in bumper to bumper rush hour traffic, navigate insanely complicated interchanges in unfamiliar areas, or take over when there's a Prius in front of you doing 10 under for the next 15 miles with no passing, all while having you arriving feeling refreshed and not like you just battled idiots for hours. I would not go HW3. The ultimate luxury is being able to have your car battle the worst parts about driving but be an absolute missile when you get to a place you can really enjoy it. I've had my 2024 M3P for about a year now and it's insane how much better the refresh is than the previous gen. Better build quality, much better interior, better handling. Not to mention the seats, active suspension, and better exterior styling the highland performance gets over the legacy one. Also take a look at demo drive cars in new inventory. They'll often have under 2000 miles and still be listed as a new car with discounts. I got my M3P with $1750 off with only 252 miles on the odo, and it came to me appearing as new. Nothing wrong with CPO also, but just another source for good deals.

I guarantee you some of these are "good faith" lemon buybacks. Since they aren't court-ordered buybacks but instead are "good faith", Tesla does not have to disclose that they were lemon buybacks. Source: I had a lemon 2025 M3P which Tesla bought back and resold

I bought model x from them a 2020 2 years ago went thru buying 2 different model x’s they said they never really look at the cars and they are just in a lot then once someone puts in a offer that’s when they go look at it real quick and send it over to your nearest tesla …it was there where problems were found I had 24 hrs to list all the problems so they could fix it for free not sure i would do that again

My first Tesla was a used 2019 Model 3 purchased in 2022 directly from Tesla. I just took delivery of a 2026 Highland. The used cars from Tesla and the experience is hit or miss. My car came with way more physical damage than was described, and it also had a broken TPMS (the thing in the tire that tells you the pressure) + a broken windshield fluid reservoir. The car flirted with enough battery degradation to trigger a warranty claim but never got there. The MCU seemed to be going, which is an expensive repair. This also caused the interior camera to not function, so no FSD. After 6 months driving a full EV, you’ll likely not notice the difference between the older Performance 3 vs the new Highland at essential the same price as these. Take the newer vehicle.
