Sorry to hear it’s gone… I would have gone for it.

I bought a 14 month old 2021 Turbo S in December with 22k km and it’s been perfect and a blast to drive. No issues, still under warranty and my ideal spec. Saved 26% over MSRP and zero wait time.

I’m seeing some pretty good deals in this part of the world.

I was just in two minds due to resale value after that was my only concern plus the car had been sitting for a while.

Btw love the car! Thats a very similar spec to what I was looking at expect for the Wheels being the Mission E and painted in black.

How are you finding the Turbo S as a daily driver?

It’s been great as a daily. Coming from a base MY19 Cayenne, it’s like night and day. Fast, smooth, better finish and solidly built. Crayon is a great color to keep clean (previously had black which was always dirty). Plus no more expensive trips to the gas station.

Just miss the extra space, and I’m now paranoid about curbing the wheels and public parking.

Wasn’t planning on getting a turbo s but the price at the time was what a lower optioned new 4s would have been. Plus the dealer bought my cayenne for much more than I think it was worth. No regrets at all. Look forward to driving every day. :)

I am literally in the same dilemma, I have build slot for a Taycan 4S but I will most likely be cancelling it as the price for a new 4S with the options I want I can practically get a Turbo S. So for me it felt like a no brainer.

I love the Cayenne definitely something I did look into but I was looking at the Coupe version.

Whats your average range you are getting? And have you compared it against the Turbo (is the extra power worth it)?

We test drove a Turbo almost a year ago. The dealer wanted $157k US for it. Now a similarly equipped Turbo is available for $30k cheaper...well below the cost of a reasonably-optioned 4s.

If we were making the buying decision today, I doubt we'd be buying new...especially with the benefit of hindsight...knowing it would be a year wait from decision to buy, to receipt.

A lot can change in a year. Last year about this time Audi was dumb enough to loan us money at 3%. That was nearly as good a deal as refinancing our mortgage two years ago at 2.625%. :clap:

I had the same problem, so I switched to Energizer AAA batteries -- they worked great for that little toy bunny with the drum, so I am supremely confident they will be rock solid in the Taycan. If a couple should good bad after 50 or 60K miles, I can always swap out batteries from one of the TV remotes and be on my way.

I'm not sure where you got that chart, but my dealer assured me that Porsche provides a lifetime warranty -- unlimited mileage -- for tires, wheels, wiper blades, and cabin air filters. ?
…I think you should share your dealer details so that we can all order through him/her ?

Yeah I seen quite a few around that price point. I agree the Turbos are the best in terms of the Used Market as the major depreciation has already happened plus the used Taycan 4S are still holding strong. Plus the drive of the Turbos are unmatched!

Yep. Did the same. Bought a 2021 Turbo with 3,600 miles and an MSRP of $178k for 27% less rather than let a new order depreciate at Emden.

I'm seeing a 2020 Turbo with 20k miles on it with price dropping to the current $112k usd ask...no one's scooped it up yet.
