Chicago, IL’s used Model 3 market has enough recent turnover to give shoppers usable local comps: 86 sales versus 33 active listings, with sold cars averaging 25 days on market. The overall market shows a median ask of $27,990 against a median sold price of $26,535, but that spread is not consistent across model years. In Chicago, IL, 2019 cars show a much wider gap between asking and sold prices, while 2022 through 2024 sold medians met or exceeded current ask medians. With average mileage at 48,320 miles and inventory led by Long Range All-Wheel Drive, Rear-Wheel Drive, and Performance All-Wheel Drive, buyers should compare against the right year and trim rather than the market-wide median alone.

  • Recent Chicago sales sit below current asks: In Chicago, IL, the median active ask is $27,990 across 33 listings, while 86 Model 3s sold at a median of $26,535 in the last 30 days. Sold cars also averaged 25 days listed, so recent transaction comps are below today’s advertised market.
  • Older years show the widest ask-to-sale gaps: For 2019 Model 3s in Chicago, IL, the median ask is $26,790 and the median sold price is $23,290, with an ask-versus-sold delta of $3,500. By contrast, 2020 and 2021 are much tighter at $10 and $114, which makes those years more aligned between list pricing and recent closes.
  • 2022 through 2024 sold at or above ask: Chicago, IL sales for 2022, 2023, and 2024 Model 3s came in at $29,200, $28,994, and $40,700, while median asks were $26,994, $28,990, and $37,590. Their ask-versus-sold deltas are -$2,206, -$4, and -$3,110, showing newer-year sold comps at or above current ask medians.
  • Trim supply is concentrated in three setups: Among active Chicago, IL listings, Long Range All-Wheel Drive leads with 10, while Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive and Performance All-Wheel Drive each have 9. Standard Range Plus Rear-Wheel Drive has 3, and Long Range All-Wheel Drive Performance and Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive have 1 each, so trim-matched comparisons matter locally.

Bottom line: In Chicago, IL, the overall Model 3 median sold price is $26,535, but 2022-2024 comps should be read separately from 2019-2021 cars.

OwneDeals — The Independent Marketplace for Used Teslas

Browse thousands of pre-owned Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck listings from private sellers and verified dealers nationwide. AI-powered deal scoring, full price history, and direct seller messaging — no commission, no middleman.

Why shop for a used Tesla on OwneDeals?

OwneDeals was built by a Tesla owner who got tired of refreshing tesla.com/used waiting for good deals to appear. Today we aggregate inventory from the official Tesla used-inventory feed, licensed dealer feeds (via Auto.dev), and a growing community of private sellers — then layer on the tools we wished existed when we were buying:

  • AI deal score. Every listing is scored against comparable cars in the live market so you can see at a glance whether the asking price is fair, a steal, or above market.
  • Price history. Track how a listing's price has changed over time. No more guessing whether a seller is firm or already discounting.
  • Autopilot hardware lookup. Every VIN is decoded against the published Tesla HW transition windows so you know whether you're buying HW2.5, HW3 ("FSD Computer 1"), or HW4 ("AI4 / FSD Computer 2") before you message the seller.
  • NHTSA VIN verification. All listings are checked against the NHTSA vPIC database to confirm year, model, plant, and weight class match what the seller claims.
  • Direct in-app messaging. Talk to private sellers without handing over your phone number until you're ready.

How OwneDeals works

  1. Search — Filter by model, year, mileage, price, hardware version (HW3 vs HW4), Full Self-Driving status, paint, wheels, and ZIP-code radius.
  2. Compare — Open any listing for full photos, full spec sheet, the deal score, price history, similar cars within ±10% spec, and the safety-rating summary pulled from NHTSA.
  3. Message — Talk to the seller directly through OwneDeals. We never share your contact details until you choose to share them.
  4. Buy — Inspect the car in person, run an independent vehicle history report (Carfax / AutoCheck), and complete the transaction at a bank or DMV-approved location. See our Marketplace Safety Guide for the full checklist.

Selling your Tesla?

Private listings are free to post. Verify your VIN against NHTSA, upload a few photos (we accept a console screenshot to confirm you actually own the car), set your price, and you're live. Optional promoted placement is available for a flat fee — clearly labeled "Promoted" wherever it appears so buyers always know which positions are paid.
