That said, it also didn’t help that the seller was pretty cagey about why they were selling the car in the first place. It already had 1,700 miles on it, so it’s not like the seller got their delivery and immediately decided to try to turn a profit. Maybe they drove it, and, for whatever reason, it just didn’t fit their needs. Maybe they underestimated how difficult owning an electric car without home charging can be. Those are completely understandable reasons for selling soon after buying.

It’s also possible that they got tired of waiting, bought something else, and instead of canceling their order and losing the $5,000 non-refundable deposit, they decided to take delivery and try selling it to get their money back. But if that was what happened, why put 1,700 miles on it before putting it up for auction? But regardless of why the seller was getting rid of it, it’s always nice to see buyers refuse to pay more than sticker for a used car, even if it’s a rare one.
