Is this a good price for used 23 MYLR AWD w/ 38k miles?

is this a good price for a 23 MYLR AWD with 34k miles? The $599.99 is for the ceramics coating and interior protection add-on that comes with the car. Thought?

No

The ceramic coating is a rip off. If you can get that removed you’re probably in the ballpark assuming this car has hw4. If it has hw3, it’s overpriced.

No, it’s quite terrible from what I’ve seen. You can get a 23 performance for less than that from Tesla’s site

Figure out if it has HW3 or 4!

Terrible deal. My 2023 MYLR estimated trading is at 21k (checked Tesla trade in just for fun). You can get a much better deal else where

Buying a Tesla from a regular dealership is never a good idea. CarMax might be alright, but not anyone else, especially EVAuto.

I paid less than that for a 24 MYLR AWD with 16k miles

Too high. Bullshit fees. This smells of sleezy salesman in my experience. I hate going to places like this and thankfully with Tesla you don’t have to. Never ever buy or allow any addons to be billed to you. Nothing. They are always the ones selling the vehicle preparing it for sale is not your problem. Honestly if you want to buy used I would only buy from Tesla and Carvana simply for the post sale protection and maybe carmax in a pinch. Avoid wherever this is shown from there’s no need to go there, especially not at this price.

EVAuto seems universally overpriced

bhj83 2026-02-14 04:05

Doesn't seem bad considering I just sold my 23 MYLR AWD with 32k miles to Carvana for $28,000.

NiceBench9100 2026-02-14 04:07

He’ll buy literally anything to keep his lot full. I’ve seen sooo many vehicles with mismatched parts and pieces and strange customizations that Carvana and CarMax wont buy. He’s recently began buying Tesla Lemon Buybacks (Manufacturer Buybacks) with branded titles and selling those, pricing them super cheap to get people with confusing disclaimers online. EVAutoAlex even tried to buy some super cheap Teslas from Puerto Rico and ended up getting scammed himself. All of this is on EVAuto’s tiktok btw, so it’s straight from the horse’s mouth. I could go on, but getting rather lengthy now.

Also, have you ever used AI to negotiate a car deal? If not, check this out...this is from Gemini and posed your question along with the screenshot of the picture you shared. This is a fair retail price, but it is not a "deal." While the base price of $30,999 aligns with the current dealer market for a 2023 Model Y Long Range (MYLR), there are two major financial factors working against this specific offer: the "junk fee" listed and the Federal Used EV Tax Credit cliff. Here is the breakdown of why this price is just "okay" and how you might improve it. 1. The "Appearance Protection" Fee ($599.99) Line 17 lists an "Appearance Protection" fee of $600. Verdict: This is almost certainly a high-margin dealer add-on (likely a spray-on wax or interior guard) that costs the dealer very little. Action: You should ask to have this removed. Tell them you did not request it and do not see the value. If they refuse to remove the fee, ask them to discount the sale price of the car by the same amount. 2. The $25,000 Tax Credit Cliff This is the most critical strategic point. The Rule: The Federal Used Clean Vehicle Credit (Section 25E) offers a tax credit of 30% of the sale price (up to $4,000) for used EVs, but only if the sale price is $25,000 or less. The Math: This Car: ~$35,000 Out-the-Door (OTD). A $24,999 Car: ~$21,000 (after applying the $4k credit at point-of-sale). The Reality: By paying $31k, you are effectively paying a $10,000 to $14,000 premium over a similar Model Y that is priced just $6k lower. Recommendation: While finding a 2023 MYLR for $25k is difficult right now, 2021 and some 2022 models are hitting that price point. You need to decide if the 2023 updates (softer suspension, faster processor) are worth a ~$14k total price difference to you. 3. Market Value Check Current Market: As of early 2026, a 2023 Model Y Long Range with ~38k miles typically retails between $28,000 and $32,000. This Price: At $30,999, this car is priced in the middle-to-high end of that range. It is not aggressive. Mileage: 38,000 miles is average for a 3-year-old vehicle (approx. 12k/year), so there is no "low mileage" premium justification here. 4. Hardware Check (HW3 vs. HW4) Since this is a 2023 model, it sits on a manufacturing borderline that significantly affects value. Hardware 3 (HW3): Most early-to-mid 2023 builds have the older cameras and computer. Hardware 4 (HW4): Late 2023 builds (usually May/June 2023 and later) have the new high-res red-tinted cameras and faster computer. Why it matters: If this car is an early 2023 with HW3, it is functionally very similar to a 2022. If it is HW4, the $31k price is much more justifiable. Check: Look at the side cameras on the front fenders. If the glass lens looks significantly larger and has a reddish tint, it's HW4. Summary & Next Step The "Out the Door" total of $34,923 is steep for a used Model Y that doesn't qualify for the tax credit. Would you like me to give you a checklist of specific things to inspect on a used Model Y (like the heat pump or control arm issues) before you sign?

No.

Confident_Shower8902 2026-02-14 04:43

I have a 24YLR with HW4 and full FSD and 20k miles on it. I looked into buying it out the other day. My payoff is $32k. This seems high, to me.

Kraoten 2026-02-14 04:54

For reference, I got my 23 AWD MY HW4 15K miles for 32K from Tesla last year

SuddenBackground6127 2026-02-14 04:56

Bought a 22 MYP with 27k mi + FSD for $31k a year ago for comparison

gregra193 2026-02-14 05:46

Would never buy a Tesla from anywhere other than Tesla.

LoneStarGut 2026-02-14 05:55

Last month I got a 2023 Model Y Long Range AWD with HW4 and Enhanced AutoPilot with 30,080 miles for $32400 with brand new OEM tires. Had upgraded 20 inch wheels, white interior and blue exterior. I upgraded it to FSD for $2k as it had EAP.

K3jai 2026-02-14 06:28

Don’t do it.

BelethorsGeneralShit 2026-02-14 11:33

Not really. I bought HW4 2023 MY with tow hitch direct from Tesla for $28,900. It had 48k miles which was more than I ideally wanted, but when buying from Tesla you get an extra one year/10k mile warranty from the date you buy it, regardless of how old the car is or how many miles it has.

CopperBlitter 2026-02-14 12:05

I'm going to say, probably not, but it depends on a few things. Last fall, I bought the same year and model pre-owned, directly from Tesla. I paid $35,900. It had less than 15,000 miles, a trailer hitch and acceleration boost. And very importantly, it came with HW4. Because I bought it from Tesla, the original warranty was extended by a year and 10,000 miles, which made the higher no-haggle price worth it to me. If the vehicle you are looking at has FSD included, HW4, and no accidents, it may be worth that price. But, otherwise, you can buy one directly from Tesla for a few thousand less. Regarding the additional fees, I would definitely want to know what kind of ceramic coating was used. I can go to the car wash and get a ceramic coating as a finish, but for less than $20, it's definitely not the same thing. I see some people complaining about the documentation fees. Those are about average for a dealer. Part of it is cost to them and part is for profit. They also make a profit on the add-ons.

No. Under 30k ✅

ihateduckface 2026-02-14 14:56

Hell no. That’s way too high.

mattwb72 2026-02-14 15:08

That’s a garbage deal. I have an MYP for sale right now for thousands less and with less miles.

Crazychicken5574 2026-02-19 13:10

Where the fuck did you find that deal
