Tesla Used Prices Plummet 50% In Malaysia
Model Y new car price has caused the severe mark down of old AP imported Tesla EV’s in Malaysia
Local used car classifieds right now are seeing a free fall of used Tesla prices as PEKEMA importers are quickly trying to sell their used and new old stock Tesla electric cars. As much as 50 percent discount is being offered on the Tesla Model 3 and also the Tesla Model Y.
This ‘panic selling comes after the Malaysian Tesla office announced their Model Y selling price at just RM199k which is even lower than the new selling prices of Tesla in Thailand.
It is a severe ‘shock to the used car market’ as some PEKEMA members have been sitting with a large number of Tesla’s after a frantic buying spree in England and also Australia earlier this year.
So, if you currently already own a Tesla (2 to 3 years old) bought from a PEKEMA showroom and plan to sell your Tesla, you might only get anywhere between RM85k to RM95k and it is best that you keep your Tesla and not sell it.
