Update from me: I finally have sale price, fees, and trade on separate lines for the 2024 Tesla Model Y. I'll post OTD once I have two apples-to-apples sheets.

I'd slow the salesperson down here. If they're pushing term length to shrink the payment, the 2024 Tesla Model Y price probably got worse. Then the comparison gets honest. Learned this the expensive way on a previous car. That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. Not wiring anything in the meantime.

Compare apples to apples or you'll get spun. Keep sale price, trade, and financing split on the 2024 Tesla Model Y so a “good payment” cannot bury a worse deal. Do that before you talk monthly again. This is from a 2024 Tesla Model Y in Austin. Learned this the expensive way on a previous car. I'd rather be boring and correct. PPI guy I use is booked until next week, so I'm waiting.

I would not stare at the monthly. If one piece looks too good on the 2024 Tesla Model Y, hunt doc fees, accessories, and the APR next. Screenshot the worksheet if you can. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Insurance and tax belong in the comparison, not as a surprise. Ask for out-the-door on the 2024 Tesla Model Y with fees, add-ons, and rate on separate lines. Do that before you talk monthly again. On “ppi found $1,800 of upcoming work,” that was the fork that mattered for me. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' If they get vague again I'm shopping the deal elsewhere.

The trap is a pretty payment hiding a worse car price. If one piece looks too good on the 2024 Tesla Model Y, hunt doc fees, accessories, and the APR next. Screenshot the worksheet if you can. This is from a 2024 Tesla Model Y in Austin. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. Doing the boring step first on purpose.
