For enthusiasts eager to bypass the lengthy waiting list for Rivian's latest electric SUV, a shortcut has finally emerged, albeit at a significant premium. The first used Rivian R2 has officially hit the secondary market, sporting a price tag that sits approximately $19,000 above its original manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP).
Low Mileage, High Premium
The vehicle in question is essentially brand new, showing only 50 miles on the odometer. While the R2 has been one of the most anticipated EV releases due to its more accessible price point compared to the R1 series, early delivery slots are limited. This scarcity has prompted the seller to list the vehicle for a total of $20,000 over the sticker price, targeting buyers who value immediate delivery over financial pragmatism.
This development mirrors trends seen with previous high-demand electric vehicles, where early adopters capitalize on supply chain constraints and long reservation queues. Whether the market will sustain such a high markup for the R2 remains to be seen as production continues to scale.
