In Los Angeles, CA, the used Model 3 market has 206 active listings, a $28,200 median ask, and 474 recent sales at a $27,700 median over the last 30 days. The typical active car shows 46,671 miles and stays listed for 14 days, which points to steady turnover rather than slow-moving stock. The bigger pricing differences are by model year: 2018 and 2019 sold medians sit at $20,773 and $20,094, 2023 lands at $27,550, and 2024 to 2025 rise to $35,400 and $38,900. Los Angeles, CA shoppers should also note that some cohorts, including 2020, 2024, and 2025, sold above ask, while 2023 sold below ask, so year-specific comps matter more than the overall median alone.

  • Overall pricing lines up with sales: In Los Angeles, CA, the median active ask for a Model 3 is $28,200, while the median sold price over the last 30 days is $27,700. Cars are also moving in 14 days on average, so local listings are being tested against recent transaction data quickly.
  • Older years sit in a narrow band: Among older Los Angeles, CA Model 3s, 2018 listings show a $21,572 median ask and a $20,773 median sold price, while 2019 comes in at $21,384 asked and $20,094 sold. That keeps both years below 2023 at $27,550 sold and 2025 at $38,900 sold.
  • Ask-vs-sold direction flips by year: Not every Los Angeles, CA year closes below ask: 2020 shows a $20,500 median ask versus a $22,549 median sold price, and 2025 shows $37,450 asked versus $38,900 sold. By contrast, 2023 carries a $28,500 median ask, a $27,550 median sold price, and a listed $950 ask premium.
  • 2023 is the deepest local year: The 2023 cohort has 71 active Los Angeles, CA listings, compared with 31 for 2024 and 25 for 2025. Its median ask of $28,500 and median sold price of $27,550 give shoppers a thicker local benchmark than 2019, which has 5 listings.
  • Inventory leans to a few trims: Los Angeles, CA active inventory is led by Long Range All-Wheel Drive at 57 listings and Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive at 51 listings. Performance All-Wheel Drive follows at 32 listings, while Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive has 30 listings, Standard Range Plus Rear-Wheel Drive has 17 listings, and Model 3 Premium Rear-Wheel Drive has 7 listings.

Bottom line: In Los Angeles, CA, use the $27,700 sold median as a starting point, then narrow by model year because 2023 pricing behaves differently from 2024 and 2025.

About this data

Methodology: figures cover the Los Angeles, CA metro (a curated group of local cities). Active-listing statistics reflect vehicles marked for sale when this page was generated. Recently-sold figures use each listing’s last-updated timestamp as a sold-date proxy and are directional market signal, not an appraisal. Trend data comes from OwneDeals’ own inventory snapshots.

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 third-party dealer feeds, 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.
