San Diego's used Model 3 market is moving, with 96 sales in the last 30 days against 68 active listings and an average time listed of 20 days. What stands out is that the recent sold median of $26,042 is above the current median ask of $23,988, so current listings are not broadly sitting above recent closing levels. Price compression is strongest in older years, where 2018, 2019, and 2020 asks sit between $19,980 and $20,084, while newer-year sold medians rise to $27,718 for 2023 and $39,300 for 2024. Trim choice is also uneven locally, with 16 Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive listings versus 3 Performance All-Wheel Drive listings. For San Diego shoppers, comparing model year and trim against the local average of 68,052 miles is more informative than the headline ask alone.
