Just wow, $14K to fix the motor, then trading it in for a Tesla at wholesale price. Literally pissing and shitting out money like it's nothing.

4K to replace 5 piston rings when the engine is already apart? Did they say if a ringland broke or are they actually just replacing 1 piston ring? Somethings not adding up.

... More realistically it sounds like dude isn't an accountant but is just going through the process to get his letters while working at something else | |

He's going the 1 piston route in terms of repair.
Mechanic is saying they will impose no mark ups on the parts, and that they will give him a deal on labor. I'll post his entire costs when completed.
But yes, quite from drop from a Sq5 to a Model 3
He just wants to walk away from the vehicle at this point, and crazy thing he just paid the entire vehicle off earlier this year. Not sure the math on this, but Telsa has told him his trade-in cost will be roughly $4-5K (I'm paraphrasing).
To the person asking about his CPA, he's working in an executive level role within the company, not a newbie graduate, in his late 30's.

It's probably too late, but I'd go out on a limb to assume someone here on Revscene would likely have offered him more for the vehicle as-is. I can think of a few candidates off the top of my head, myself being one of them. We'll just have to let bygones be bygones. 
RIP SQ5

^Tesla is obviously offering him more than 5k for the car. A running 2018 sq5 is like 40-50k. He cant be that dumb right... In case he is I'd gladly trade him my fully functional s4 for his busted sq5

Sounds like the SQ5 trade in is valued at $47K and the "friend" will pay $5K more to get a Model 3 SR+. SR+ is $52K out the door after govt incentives.

LOL, I'm definitely not trolling here.
As it stands, the car is sitting in the shop for a bit, apparently parts are going to take some time to arrive, so no news on that front.
In terms of the Telsa, they're not offering him $5K The guy isn't an idiot here.
With trade-in along with incentives, he'll walk away with a Model3 for that additional amount (roughly $5K).
The Model3 won't be ready until January of next year, so if someone is interested in checking out his vehicle, he'd be open to that for sure.
He wanted to go EV as his next vehicle anyways, so this only expedited that decision, he loves this car though.

So people above were correct, Tesla is essentially offering him around 43K once repaired, plus trade in tax benefit of $5K for the EV.
Vitamin or anyone else, I'm sure he'd be interested in hearing any offers before any work begins on the vehicle.
If so, shoot me a PM, and I can provide you with his direct contact info.
