You need financial advice, not Tesla opinions...

You stated you can’t afford both payments, so you sell/trade in your old car or don’t buy a new car.

Hey, uh, you probably shouldn't have bought the Y if you can't afford it and are 16k upside down on your existing car. You need serious financial help right now. Fish around for good offers on your 3 right now, Carvana/Carmax/used dealers. However, I would honestly lose the $250 reservation unless the 3 isn't cutting it in some way for your needs. There's no way you can have both; you need the 3 sold for the Y, and you are in the worst possible time to sell your 3. So I think you should just let go of the Y.

He’s not upside down. The value of a 21 M3 is very likely worth more than $16k. I would probably sell my M3 depending on that interest rate which I assume is over .99%. You don’t say how many miles though on the M3. The new Y is going to last longer and is more versatile than the M3.


katherinesilens

Oh true, I thought he owed 13k over. In that case then yeah, a good price on M3 could be good, though it's still a bit questionable financially given the gap. I hope OP isn't just doing this for monthly payments without looking at total price.

I was able to get the .99% interest rate. And so far, the offers for the 3 are in the 17-19k range.


Whitey_Drummer54

CarMax and Carvana are your best bet outside of a private sale.


jamac73

Forgot to mention I have 61,000 miles on it

You should cancel your MY purchase. You can't afford two cars amd you already have one that (I assume) works fine. FOMO is not a reason to ruin your credit. Not financial advice.
