How to Buy a Tesla Model 3 From Hertz for $14,000 and Which Cars To Avoid
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 янв 2024
- Hertz is selling off its older Tesla Model 3 rental cars for as low as $14,000. This is a great opportunity to get a good deal on a Tesla Model 3, but there are a few things to keep in mind before you buy. I think you should take a close look at these cars before buying them. They do tend to get pretty beat up.
Thus, this is how you buy a Tesla Model 3 from Hertz.
1. Do your research
Before you buy any used car, it's important to do your research. This is especially true for Tesla Model 3s, as they are still a relatively new car. Read reviews, compare prices, and make sure you know what you're getting into.
2. Get a pre-purchase inspection
Once you've found a Tesla Model 3 that you're interested in, it's important to get a pre-purchase inspection from a qualified mechanic. This will help you identify any potential problems with the car.
3. Be prepared to negotiate
Hertz is motivated to sell these cars, so be prepared to negotiate on the price. Don't be afraid to make a low offer, and be willing to walk away if you can't get a good deal.
With a little planning and research, you can find a great deal on a used Tesla Model 3 from Hertz.
Here are some additional tips for buying a used Tesla Model 3:
Look for cars with low mileage.
Avoid cars that have been in any accidents.
Make sure the car has all of its original parts.
Get the car's history report.
Take the car for a test drive.

I rented one in Chicago for $160... From a Thursday at noon to Sunday. It was amazing. I would buy one in a second.
As a former Hertz employee don’t buy these please. People who rent regular vehicles are given the option to be thrown into EV’s or take nothing. They just supercharge them, and many customers know nothing about EV’s and come back with dead battery or under 20%. They also abuse scrap it and many young customers put on accelerate mode to fool around
Make sure it’s hardware 3 that can use FSD if needed - usually 2018+
As an armenian myself, as soon as you spoke I knew this was going to turn into solar panel advertisement lol
i bought mine 2 months ago from carmax here where i live and my model 3 is a 2019 long range with 19k miles i got it for 35k but i think i overpaid by alot they screwed me over.
Yup they did. You def messed up
Live and learn, won't happen again
@@ernestomytv definitely 😔
@@Coyote.five.0 ohh man i hope your doing okay
Yikes. Just got a used 22 long range for 23k out the door right at 99k miles
You are buying a car that spent the majority of its life Supercharging since people that rent these are not slow charging them at home, that being said, the warranty doesn't have to many miles left on it...
It’s better to buy teslas under 40k miles on it
Hertz is dumping tens of thousands of battery-electric vehicles. This story offers no opinions and walks the reader step by step through what Hertz is doing. The story includes the original Hertz source link. Draw your own conclusions...

Why did you bait us on 4k tax rebate without telling income limit
nothing under 22k couple days ago as well as today across the entire usa. the used vehicle tax credit applies below a specified income so it will not apply to everyone. just do your research, this video is more about the clicks than spreading vetted information (as with most of youtube these days)
Remember, these are rental cars with potentially high mileage and wear and tear.
So true. Tax credits don't apply to used evs.

It was just announced that Tesla is finally applying the $7,500 EV tax credit at point of sale for Tesla vehicles that qualify. www.torquenews.com/14335/tesla-finally-offering-7500-ev-tax-credit-instant-rebate-point-sale
but prepare 20000-30000$ for new battery too and possible other reapairs and of course high insurance cost just like degradation of battery if it wont died for some time .....
While battery replacement can be expensive, it's not always necessary. Most Tesla batteries are designed to last for many years and retain a significant portion of their capacity. Many used Teslas on the market still have healthy batteries with plenty of range left.
Very not true. I bought at 2022 Model 3 with 70k miles. The battery only degraded 5% which is well below the expected 10% drop that most Teslas experience during the first year. So this indicates that my battery is very healthy. It cost me 25000, and combined with the total of $8000 tax incentives in my area, was a tremendous deal. I did a lot of research before making this offer work out for me
@@geo5106 its still pretty much for 1 year and that doesn't means nothing overall that battery will not die oe anything else and Tesla are pretty ugly car too especially model 3 or Y which reminds on big children plastic car from outside and on Griswold family car from inside/interior quality
@@Torquenews who wants to risk let risk
And why the hell will my insurance go up by 120/mo?
My literally read the Electrek article to us. Nice😒
How old ? Batts should last 8 plus years
Remember, people, these are used Teslas. The batteries are already depleted. A new battery would cost far more than you will pay for the car, offer Hertz no more than 2 or 3 thousand. These cars are probably going to be sold for parts and scrap.
Not worth buying for Europeans in the States. Then there is the freight, TÜV, customs etc. in addition.
These prices for Hertz Tesla Model 3 are for the United States as the United States has special tax credit for used electric vehicles. I don't think this tax credit will apply for foreign citizens.
The don't work in cold weather. 😂😂😂😂😂
WHO WOULD DO THIS DUDE????
Bad idea jeans
Replacing the battery could cost more then the car.
Thats not good deal, uber drivers fucked it 😂😂
Once Ev's are relatively easily repairable or the battery is able to be replaced by the average owner, only then will the used EV market hold their value better. But these first proprietary iterations of these cars were driven by corporate greed and need to make them unrepairable, forcing you to have to return to the dealer and pay exorbitant prices for mundane repairs. Car manufacturers, energy companies and big oil have the technology to simplify and standardize EV's, just as was done with ICE cars, they just haven't figured out how to charge you for electricity that is becoming increasingly cheap or can be gotten for free. Hence the reason for the over-complication of the design of these cars making them wildly expensive and proprietary to repair. It's a chit-show, don't buy them.
total nonsense
ridiculous nonsense
Well said👍👍👍
Stay away from these, IMO.
Or check them really well.
I bought a 2022 Model 3 with 70k miles with Hertz. The battery only degraded 5% which indicates that my battery is very healthy (expected drop should be 10% in the first year). It cost me 25000 and doesn't even include the $8000 I could get from tax credits. I did a lot of research. Made sure all panels have never been replaced and that it was accident free. At that price, this car was basically free.
@@geo5106Degradation is not the concern. Battery failure is the concern. Drive unit failure is the concern. You will be completely out of warranty soon. The HV battery and drive units fail like light bulbs at any time and more often than ICE failures. Your financial exposure is huge compared to an ICE. You will learn the hard way. Tesla will destroy you financially with out of warranty repairs. They will crush you like a bug. I hope you have a $20k+ repair fund.
@@JetFire9 LOL. I agree with most of what you say But the thing is I have no intention of keeping this vehicle out of its warranty. It's a stopgap measure while I wait on the new Tesla Model Y to come out.
And even if I sold this in a year I would still come out on top with expectation for it sell for at least 20k. Financially I have no concerns. I work as an Occupational Therapist
@@geo5106 I make around $600k a year, but I sold my Tesla because I never like getting ripped off.
Which cars to avoid? ALL OF THEM.
They are smart, sold them and they will buy gas cars.
Nobody with any sense wants an EV, especially a used one from a rental company.
😂🤣😂🤡🤡
😂 but u could replace the battery for 10k lol
i have to ev's and never got a tax credit so ignore tax credits theyare only for the rich
Super charged only tesla no thank you
So I asked AI this question:
what is the market value of a 2021 tesla model 3 with 20,000 miles
AI:
Tesla Model 3
According to Edmunds, the market value of a 2021 Tesla Model 3 with 20,000 miles driven per year and no additional options is estimated to be between $21,821 and $38,502
Then I asked AI (Copilot):
what is the resale price of a Hertz used car based on the original selling price
AI:
I found a report that states that Hertz used vehicles are selling at nearly $1,400 below market value, on average
==========
Hertz should be selling a 2 year old Model 3 with 20,000 miles for about $20,000
They are dumping them for $14,000
good god... Hertz want's to unload these things
These cars have seen a lot of use in a short period, so potential buyers should factor in the risks of wear and tear, potential repair costs, and any unknown history. A pre-purchase inspection is definitely recommended!
@@Torquenews ALL Hertz cars get a lot of use but are well maintained - the Tesla should be no different and the $1,400 below the current market price seems reasonable.
Unless you really really want to get rid of those things.
