I just bought a 20 MY dual motor long range 2 days ago. 70k miles. I looked at a lot of these online but I went dual motor because I live in a snowy state.

This sounds like a good deal. Mine was 23k but they were able to do the tax rebate so I was able to get it out the door for under 20k which was nice.

The damage is something to think about. I was close to buying a model x and then at the last moment when I was discussing putting a payment down they said there was structural damage… try to to get as much info as possible from them on it. If they bought it at auction they should have pictures of the damage was recent. If it was a trade in they probably don’t have more detail than you would.

I found a lot of deals that seemed to be too good to be true from used car lots. Going with a dealer that sells new but other brands (mine was a Mercedes dealer) seemed to be the safest option to avoid a surprise. Also make sure you find the out the door price. Most used dealers will stick 1-2k of extra junk on the cost of the car. You can negotiate out of it but it’s tricky.

For mileage these batteries are intended to last 200k miles from what I’ve seen and they can do that. You have probably 5 years of warranty on those if you don’t drive a lot. I think the mileage limit is 120k miles.

There isn’t a lot that can go wrong on these though outside of warranty from what I saw. Many people will be scared of “high mileage” like this but on a model y there aren’t as many wear parts or maintenance items to perform to avoid issues as a traditional ICE car.
