Can I ask what made you go used and the old body style? I’m looking at the Y and finding it hard not to go with the new body over the old?

Southernboyj 2025-12-30 00:09

Probably money

xxtremlockxx 2025-12-30 00:11

This is my first EV and I wanted to be sure I was going to absolutely love it before making a $40,000 commitment. I was able to get this one for a little over $22,000 with fairly low milage and still a decent amount of warranty left. I like both body styles, but I prefer the front of this one

GenuineReptard 2025-12-30 00:49

$22k is a great deal! I'm guessing it's a RW drive model? Great purchase and you will get tons of life out of it

WhoAteMyEggo 2025-12-30 00:54

Cheap, low-mileage EVs are great! Enjoy the ride

xxtremlockxx 2025-12-30 01:02

Thank you!. Yes, RWD. Just over 27,000 miles on it. Hopefully many more miles of enjoyment ahead

xxtremlockxx 2025-12-30 01:03

Thanks!

GenuineReptard 2025-12-30 01:04

Quick tip I didn't learn for a while, when using autopilot or FSD when the screen asks you to "move the wheel" to make sure you are paying attention, just change the volume instead. So much easier. Also take your time and go through all the settings! There is so much you can personalize. I'd also recommend setting dashcam to record on honks and set it to your quick button, it helps a lot! GLHF 😀

xxtremlockxx 2025-12-30 01:12

Thank you! Very much appreciated

GenuineReptard 2025-12-30 01:13

Anytime!! It can feel like a lot the first week or two so feel free to reach out with any questions!

xxtremlockxx 2025-12-30 01:14

🙏🏻

Did they put the ribbon on there for you. I bought three Tesla's and never did that for me :-(. But it's okay I absolutely love them

Adjust4Life1 2025-12-30 01:37

Great deal, I bought a 20-25 model 3 rear wheel drive when they had the lease special. It was such a super deal. The rear wheel drive works great in the snow. Believe it or not

Parapraxis2077 2025-12-30 01:53

I think it's a great idea. By 2023, many of the kinks have been worked out with the original body style, and you're getting theoretically the best reliability. Since the 2024 Highland is the first model year, there will inevitably be teething pains with the new style.

WhoAteMyEggo 2025-12-30 02:23

Nah, place was packed when I picked mine up back in 2023

y0Mark 2025-12-30 02:27

If you don’t care for the latest and greatest, these are a bargain. Bought a 2023 RWD with 20k miles for $20k (before taxes and registration) back in August

xxtremlockxx 2025-12-30 03:11

Excellent! Loving it so far. Having a hard time staying in the house and not in the garage fiddling around 😂

xxtremlockxx 2025-12-30 03:12

Yes! But they wouldn't let me keep it 😂

geocom2015 2025-12-30 03:17

Good taste sir. The old front looks better.

Serious_Meringue6247 2025-12-30 03:37

Congratulations.

xxtremlockxx 2025-12-30 03:40

Thank you!

xxtremlockxx 2025-12-30 03:41

Thank you! I agree

MurkyTomatillo192 2025-12-30 05:52

Now that’s a hot take

Ok_Childhood_9694 2025-12-30 05:59

Congratulations

renegadellama 2025-12-30 08:17

What's your payment? How much down?

renegadellama 2025-12-30 08:18

What's your payment? How much down?

y0Mark 2025-12-30 08:35

The car was paid in full, about $23.5k all in. This is factoring the $4k ev credit and $1k from socal edison

y0Mark 2025-12-30 08:38

I don’t blame you. You’ll always want to take the long way whenever you go somewhere haha

Sweatpantzzzz 2025-12-30 08:38

Congrats. I love my 2023

xxtremlockxx 2025-12-30 12:04

I also paid in full, so no payment

xxtremlockxx 2025-12-30 12:05

I paid in full, no payments

xxtremlockxx 2025-12-30 12:05

Thank you!

xxtremlockxx 2025-12-30 12:05

Thank you!

Delirium101 2025-12-30 13:33

Damn. That’s basically a new car. Congrats.

htxdc 2025-12-30 13:47

Congrats! $22k is a great deal. I'm looking for a 2022-2023 M3P and they're reasonably priced. This would be my first EV as well.

volleyballer12345 2025-12-30 15:07

Congratulations! I love my 23 m3p. Enjoy! I agree with other commenters, a low mileage og M3 is a great deal right now, and is still light years ahead of any other car in that year / price / mileage range.

Prinnykin 2025-12-30 16:51

Congrats! I also bought a 2023 model 3 today 🙌 I didn’t get a pretty ribbon though. https://preview.redd.it/dqrmtjzgfdag1.jpeg?width=2100&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb19f67bb5b446b05589d7cb6d1707657f45446f

xxtremlockxx 2025-12-30 17:17

Congrats! I wasn't allowed to keep it 😂

xxtremlockxx 2025-12-30 17:25

Thank you! Loving it so far!

xxtremlockxx 2025-12-30 17:26

I highly recommend it. I am totally blown away by how awesome it is

xxtremlockxx 2025-12-31 01:44

Oooooh, I love the blue!  Very nice!

xxtremlockxx 2025-12-31 02:38

Wow! That's beautiful

Ill-Law-8142 2025-12-31 04:59

LR?

Ill-Law-8142 2025-12-31 04:59

Just for show.

Ill-Law-8142 2025-12-31 05:00

What did you change???

MillerPrestes 2025-12-31 05:05

Black logos, tinted headlights and backlights. Also added those things behind the passenger doors that I forgot the name. Removed the factory rim covers to expose the beautiful rims.

Ill-Law-8142 2025-12-31 05:55

Looks good. https://preview.redd.it/bjbvw33fbhag1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e08cb067aee321fc68b9b6fa5cc90d9d31a254cf I got the same one but i think im ok for now. I would like to add a front lip and some interior lighting

MillerPrestes 2025-12-31 12:48

I went to Temu and I bought literally everything they had to customize the car 😂 been an year and everything still looks perfect. Such a good looking car

y0Mark 2025-12-31 18:56

Thank you. Crazy value especially compared to a Corolla or Civc

draftjk 2026-01-02 23:09

Congratulations 🎉

xxtremlockxx 2026-01-02 23:16

Thank you!

spikespike7 2026-01-04 17:54

I got black 22 m3 and I regret getting this color. I wish I had the white but got it for cheap so couldn't pick color I wanted. Tesla black scratch easily too

Ok_Childhood_9694 2026-01-11 05:36

Congratulations!!

xxtremlockxx 2026-01-11 14:17
