This professional car buyer in North Carolina just bought four Teslas in a day, partly as an experiment, and partly, of course, for business reasons.
All four cars are relatively old, including two 2018 models.
One of them is a 100D model, by the way, which was basically the Plaid before the Plaid.
But, when we look at what he bought, one thing clearly stands out.
One of these Teslas depreciated quite a lot
Text Omar, YouTuber and professional car buyer from North Carolina, just bought four Teslas in a day for about $110,000.
This guy clearly has a whole routine, and in the video, he made it sound like he’s done this a thousand times before.
The first thing he mentioned was what he called the ‘five-foot rule’.
“When you look at a car from the outside, you stand five feet back. [Because] if you walk up close to a car and you think you’re checking it out, you’re going to miss all sorts of damage. I learned this from CarMax,” he said in the video.
Also, and this only applies to EVs, he said that you should listen for a ‘whine’ at low speeds, because that’s a red flag.
But the most interesting part came when he showed viewers what he’d bought.
For two reasons.
This was first because of the models he chose, and second, because one of them had depreciated significantly.
There’s a clear pattern here
There’s clearly a pattern here because three of the four cars he bought are Model Xs, and the other one is a Model 3.
The Model X is apparently a good buy, mainly because it has depreciated a lot.
One of the Model Xs he bought is the 100D model, which was the Plaid, more or less, before the Plaid existed, and he only paid $28,000 for it.
He also bought a 2020 Model X Long Range Plus – the most expensive car here – for $33,500.
That’s still a decent buy, especially when you remember this was an $80,000 car when it was new.
He spent exactly $110,000, but he’s expecting to sell them for around $121,000.
Not a bad payday.
