CONDITION<br>Exterior presents well — dark grey/blue metallic paint is clean with no visible dents, scratches, or body damage from the side profile shot. Car is currently plugged in and charging, sitting on factory aero wheel covers with Hankook tires showing good tread. Interior appears clean from window view. At 2,225 miles this is essentially brand new. Equipped with FSD Computer 4 and Full Self-Driving (Supervised) included — significant value-add. The owner has named it "Grey Ghost."<br><br>MARKET VALUE<br>- KBB Trade-In (rough/average/clean): $34,500 — $36,500 — $38,500<br>- KBB Private Party: $39,000 — $41,000<br>- Manheim/auction typical range: $33,000 — $37,000<br><br>*Note: 2026 Model 3 data is extremely limited given how new this model year is. Values are estimated based on current 2025 Highland refresh pricing and FSD inclusion.*<br><br>COMPS<br>No active listings found on Autotrader, Cars.com, or CarGurus. This is a double-edged sword — no direct competition but also no validated retail demand at this price point yet. New base Model 3 with FSD stickers around $46,490-$48,490 depending on config, so $45K ask is barely under new.<br><br>RED FLAGS<br>- 2026 model year at 2,225 miles screams quick flip — why is someone dumping a near-new car? Possible buyer's remorse, financial distress, or undisclosed issue. Demand title history immediately.<br>- $45K ask is retail money, not wholesale. Seller is pricing at near-MSRP expecting FSD to carry the premium.<br>- FSD transferability is critical — Tesla has changed transfer policies multiple times. Confirm FSD stays with the vehicle on resale or this valuation drops $5K-$8K instantly.<br>- No market comps makes retail exit timeline unpredictable.<br>- Tesla price cuts can happen overnight and crater resale values with zero warning.<br>- Tariff / import uncertainty on Model 3 (built in China for US market on Highland refresh) could affect future values either direction.<br><br>BUY RECOMMENDATION<br>Max wholesale buy price: $34,000<br>Reasoning: FSD inclusion adds value but Tesla's volatile pricing and unverified FSD transfer policy create real risk. At $34K you have room to retail at $39-41K with a $5-7K spread after recon/transport, protecting against a sudden Tesla price adjustment.
