Any private sellers listing a Tesla Model 3 Highland?

Im getting super excited about finally upgrading my daily driver! Ive been eyeing the new Model 3 Highland refresh for months now. Ive read a ton on the forums about how the suspension and road noise are significantly better, but then I see some owners complaining about the turn signal buttons on the steering wheel being a total nightmare in roundabouts, so im kinda torn. Most of what I find online is just inventory from dealers or Hertz dumping their stock, which is not really what I want since I prefer buying from a private owner to dodge those extra dealer fees and all the paperwork hassle. My budget is around 38k and im based in the Seattle area, hoping to pull the trigger by next month before my old civic finally gives out on me. I just feel like private sellers are way more honest about why they are actually getting rid of it, you know? Like, are they selling because they hate the stalkless design or just because they want the Performance trim? Its been tough finding private listings that arent just resellers posing as individuals. Does anyone know if there are hidden spots to look for these or if im just stuck dealing with the dealership markups...

Quick tip, have you checked the specific VIN history on a Carfax Vehicle History Report first? You gotta be super careful with private sales to avoid getting stuck with a lemon.

> I just feel like private sellers are way more honest about why they are actually getting rid of it Totally get that vibe. When I grabbed my Tesla Model 3 Highland RWD 60kWh, I had to scour Craigslist and OfferUp daily. Honestly, setting up automated alerts for specific keywords saved my sanity. People selling privately usually list there to avoid those insane dealer markups. Don't stress too much about the stalkless design, you get used to it after a week, promise.

Honestly, finding a private seller for the Tesla Model 3 Highland Long Range is super tough right now because so many people are holding onto them. Unfortunately, private listings for the refresh are basically unicorns. I had issues trying to find one locally too.

  • Check the Tesla Motors Club classifieds section
  • Try searching Facebook Marketplace but filter by local owners only
  • Watch out for resellers pretending to be individuals It feels like everyone is waiting for the Performance trim instead.
