You have a Tesla. It could be the Model S, or it might have been the Model 3 that caught your attention. It’s now time to say goodbye. The process of selling a vehicle Only Used Tesla can be like untangling Christmas light strings–frustrating, and seemingly never-ending. You don’t have to worry. I have a few tricks up my sleeves that will make this process as easy as silk.
Let’s first talk about the presentation. You wouldn’t go out on a first date without washing your hair, would you? You should give your Tesla the same care before you meet potential buyers. Wash and polish it until it shines as brightly as your future. Remove all the coffee cups and socks from your back seat. A clean car makes a great first impression, just like a firm grip.
Let’s now move onto pricing. The delicate dance of the numbers! The right price is more difficult than solving the Rubik’s Cube with blindfolds. You want to find that sweet spot in which buyers believe they’re getting an amazing deal, but you aren’t giving the house away. You can check online for listings for similar Tesla models and what other Tesla owners are asking.
Online listings are where most buyers can be found these days. Autotrader, Craigslist and other platforms are your best friend here – like peanut butter to jelly! You want your ad to be as engaging as possible. Cat videos on Facebook will not do. Show off the features of your Tesla that stand out.
Hold on! Don’t forget to take quality photos before taking a lot of pictures. Take pictures that are clear and in good light. No one wants to stare at blurry photos trying to determine whether it is a scratch, or simply bad photography.
Negotiations can be nerve-wracking, but imagine it as a fun flea-market bargaining session. You may get lower offers than what you hoped. People love to make lowball offers, as if they were auditioning on “Let’s Make A Deal.” Hold firm to the value you feel is fair based on your research (remember what we said about pricing earlier? ).
It is important to always put safety first when scheduling test drives or meeting with prospective buyers. No exceptions. Safety is something we never compromise, not even when it comes to Teslas.
Who hasn’t felt that the selling process is more difficult than assembling IKEA furnishings without instructions? Consignment services for electric vehicles can help you. They will handle everything from paperwork to marketing magic tricks.
Last, but certainly not least–and it might sound silly-say goodbye to your customers once they’ve been sold successfully.
