Modified Tesla's Value: A Dealer's Perspective

Modified Tesla Model Y: Appraisal and Negotiation. A car dealer in the US recently faced a unique situation: a customer wanted to sell their heavily modified Tesla Model Y. The modifications included aftermarket wheels, tires, window tinting, roof racks, and a carbon fiber dash. The dealer, in a phone conversation, carefully assessed the vehicle's condition and modifications. He noted that while the modifications might appeal to a private seller, their impact on a dealer's offer is less significant. The dealer's appraisal focused on the car's overall condition and market value, not the aftermarket additions. The customer's initial expectation was higher than the dealer's offer. However, the conversation highlighted the importance of transparency and mutual understanding in such transactions. The dealer's willingness to consider the sale, despite the modifications, shows a professional approach to the business.
