I am considering selling my 10K miles 2021 4S. The dealer would gladly buy it from me, but does anyone have thoughts on a better way?

the dealership might be the way to go, especially if the car is "hot" where you are.
selling a $100k+ car privately can be a chore, but if you do I've used these guys to facilitate the transaction when I sold my model 3.

You could try privately on here, there are enough cheesed off owners reconsidering their options. I’d expected my new 4S in August and agreed the sale of my daily thinking October would be worse case, big mistake! I’ve now cancelled the order and think I’ve got a decent lightly used car lined up through a broker, not paying a premium but it’s still silly money. I think if you asked for interested parties you may be surprised.

Post a build sheet if nothing else while we're here! Someone on this forum might be interested.

People have been suggesting sites like bringatrailer and carsandbids for expensive cars. I think the idea is there're more enthusiasts and fewer lowballers/scammers there compared to FB marketplace/Craigslist? I haven't used them myself though.

TRED.com. I sold three different Mercedes and they were great.

I actually just put my Tesla M3P on there a few weeks ago

I was thinking of selling mine on carsandbids.com
Read the "not so" fine-print if you go this route. The buyer must pay 4.5% of the selling value, up to $4,500. This is essentially -$4,500.00 from you selling price.

If you go "no reserve" which they will encourage; you do NOT get to choose the staring bid price. The no reserve auctions start at $0.00.

Yeah, it’s not that fine of print. People are still selling cars for a lot even though the buyer pays the fee, not the seller. Carvana offered me $105 when my car is easily worth 115-120 so even a $4500 hit would be worth it.

For grins I filled out a Vroom form for my '22 RWD MSRP $115K plus 3K Wheel & Tire protection plan and received an 80K offer! Didn't bother calling to discuss the offer.
