Armand is a Cybertruck owner from Los Angeles and states that someone has offered him $109,000 to purchase his used Cybertruck.
However, even though $109,000 for a used Cybertruck seems high, Armand says he isn't completely convinced that he should sell his Cybertruck at this price.
Conflicted about whether he’s getting the best deal, Armand turned to the Cybertruck Owners Club forum to seek advice from fellow owners.
He writes…
“Sold my Cyberbeast.
I had to do it, as much as I love my Cyberbeast. Needed the cash. We've got bigger fish to fry this time. I got $109,000 for it. Not bad, right?
If you believe I'm making a mistake, let me know why. I can still back out for one more day.”
$109,000 for a used Cybertruck seems like a good deal; however, since Armand posed this question to other Cybertruck owners, I thought he might face some backlash for selling his Cybertruck.
However, on the contrary, fellow Cybertruck owners were almost unanimously surprised that he secured a buyer at $109,000, and they advised Armand to “take the money and run.”
Some Cybertruck owners even thought the deal was so good that they wondered if it might be a scam and advised Armand to be careful until the check cleared.
A fellow Cybertruck owner from Tennessee, Bob, even goes so far as to call the person buying the Cybertruck off Armand for $109,000 a “sucker.”
He writes…
“Take the money and run. It’s hard to believe you got $109,000. You can buy a new non-foundation Cyberbeast for $100k.
But there’s a sucker born every day, so like I said, take the money and run.”
Another Cybertruck owner who goes by the username “Gigahorse” writes…
“Are you selling your Cybertruck with $20,000 in the glovebox?
If not, $109,000 is a phenomenal price, looking at used prices. Make sure the check clears, and RUN with the money.”
Another Cybertruck owner, Ron from Pennsylvania, writes…
“Make sure you get that check and it cashes.”
In response to inquiries about whether he’s selling the truck with $20,000 in the glove box, Armand states he is not. However, he adds that his Cybertruck is the top-of-the-line Foundation Series Cybertruck with all the options, which was valued at $120,000 when it was brand new last year.
He writes…
“It is a Foundation Series Cyberbeast. The $20,000 is not in the glovebox, but it is close. The $20k is in the option package.
Including the offroad lightbar that I still have not received, FSD, lifetime premium connectivity,
cross bars, cargo divider, bottle opener, sun shade, rubber mats, and wall charger.”
Still, despite the options, fellow Cybertruck owners say he should take the money and run.
In response, Armand states that he is finalizing the process but adds that, since he owns a Foundation Series Cybertruck, he must first secure written permission from Tesla to sell the truck.
He writes…
“Yeah, I really hate to let it go. I’ve worked extremely hard over the past couple of years to get it. I just need the payment to clear; my documents are signed and verified.
I've sent a letter to Tesla asking for permission to sell my Cybertruck before the first year is up due to unforeseen circumstances, and I should be granted an exception for that.
Does anyone know a person who has sold within the first year, and what they did or what happened afterward?"
What Armand is talking about here is the no-resale clause Tesla required early Cybertruck owners to sign with their purchase agreement.
To stop individuals from purchasing a Cybertruck solely to resell it for profit, Tesla requires owners to sign an agreement forbidding them from selling the vehicle during the first year without obtaining written consent from the company.
However, as Cybertruck prices started to fall, Tesla removed the no-resale clause from the new Cybertruck purchase agreement.
And for those who’ve already agreed not to sell their Cybertruck within the first year, although the company hasn't explicitly stated that selling Foundation Series Cybertrucks is allowed without its approval, it seems Tesla is not taking legal action against owners who choose to sell their trucks.
Overall, whether Armand can legally sell his Cybertruck or not, it’s still surprising to see the overwhelming “take the money and run” attitude he received from fellow Cybertruck owners.
