Buying any used car can be a gamble, especially when you’re looking for an old, high-mileage Tesla Model S. If you also happen to be a YouTuber who specifically searched for and bought the cheapest Model S on the market as a potential source of content, you would think it was going to be a complete basket case.
Alex Kersten of the AutoAlex Cars YouTube channel bought what he says is the cheapest running and driving Model S in the UK (maybe even the world), a 2017 model year 90D with over 450,000 miles. It was initially advertised for £13,700 (about $17,225 at current exchange rates), but he says he negotiated his way down to £8,900 ($11,900) after pointing out some defects.
