OAV's independent, evidence-backed Price-to-Market analysis rates this vehicle as Overpriced — priced above the supported comparable range. Based on 14 comparable listings matched to this vehicle, the estimated market range is $22,157 to $26,177. These comparisons match year, make, and model, using trim where the data supports it. OAV does not adjust comparable prices for mileage — every price shown is the real advertised price. On used vehicles, mileage can still cause OAV to withhold a verdict — very high or unreliable mileage, or a lower price better explained by higher-than-typical mileage than by a genuine market discount — rather than call it a deal it can't support.

This vehicle has been on the lot for 16 days.

How this deal is rated

OAV compares this 2021 Tesla Model 3 against similar vehicles currently available for sale — same make, model, and year range, using trim where the data supports it. OAV does not adjust comparable prices for mileage; on used vehicles it withholds a verdict when mileage would distort the comparison — very high or unreliable mileage, or a lower price better explained by higher-than-typical mileage than by a genuine market discount — rather than overstate a deal. Based on where this listing falls in that comparable set, it is rated:

• Great Deal — priced below the comparable-range floor by a meaningful margin (OAV's minimum-gap rule); a listing below the floor by less than that margin is Fair Price.
• Fair Price — priced within the expected range for comparable vehicles.
• Overpriced — priced above the typical range for comparable vehicles.

Listings show OAV's PTM-derived deal quality and live market context. OAV-claimed dealers manage their listing profile and route buyer inquiries directly. Paid OAV partners can surface additional verification signals, but commercial participation never changes a listing's Price-to-Market verdict, eligibility, ranking, or confidence.
