Presumably from a main dealer?

If so, get the build code which will give full specs for a better comparison. (or post up a link)

If not, be careful on warranty - non-authorised dealers can't transfer it...could be on SoR I guess, but that could get tricky. I wouldn't buy one without a Porsche warranty.

There are approved used cars available for around that mark (I would say definitely negotiable to below it!) with similar or less miles. So unless the spec is big, £59k would not be a massive bargain from the non-approved network. Even with a big spec, I'd keep negotiating.
It is a main dealer(Porsche), so I guess the price won't be negotiable, right? ?

I have attached a picture of filtered item, I'd appreciate your opinion??

Looks OK to me (is it white per chance?).

I'd rather have Lane Change Assist (blind spot monitoring) and always prefer active cruise control (even though I don't use it that much). But it looks fine.

If the colour is what you want and the options suit then go for it.

Everything's negotiable - buyers' market right now. Whilst there aren't tons of Turbos in the approved network around that price point, there are a few ;)

Would you pay an extra of 9K to have Burmester® 3D High-End Surround Sound System, night assistant, ACC and lane changing assist but drop to 2020 model?

No.

Bose is fine IMO.

Night assist interesting but far from essential.

The other two would be preferable, but not for 9k.

Seems like a good deal! I bought 2021 Taycan with 33.000 km and they replaced rear tires for being too low during the 111 check. On a base RWD version.

Hello everyone!

Hope you are all well.

What would you think of a Taycan Turbo of following specs.
Year 2021,
Conbined Range of 253 miles
38000 miles
Panoramic roof
Porsche Tracking option
Sport package
Porsche approved
Adaptive sport seats 18 ways
Ioniser
Park assistant
21-Inch Mission E Design Wheels
Parking assistant

Approved Porsche warranty 2 years.

Tyres and brakes:
NSF = 6.0mm/6.6mm/6.6mm – Brakes – 8mm remaining
OSF = 5.0mm/5.9mm/5.9mm – Brakes – 10mm remaining
NSR = 4.2mm/4.7mm/4.5mm – Brakes – 8mm remaining
OSR = 4.2mm/4.4mm/4.8mm – Brakes – 7mm remaining

Doesn't need big maintenance except in 2 years or 20,000 miles according to sales man.

Price £59000

It that a good deal?

Thank in advance
My advice for that money would be to try to go a couple of years newer. For my 2p the 4S is more than adequate- also CT or ST are more practical imho. Good luck!

Thanks for the response ??
Do you think I can push to change the 4 tyres?
And how much was yours if I may ask? And does it have ACC?

Mine was 54,200 GBP ish, bought in summer. Base model 6/2021 with many options (Battery+, Roof, full InnoDrive including ACC, Chrono, 14-way seats, PASM, Matrix lights, All leather...).

The tires they replaced by themselves, but I didn't see the actual car until it was delivered from German Porsche Dealer. The Czech dealer pushed for me and they got more than the tires replacement and also 40k service routine (done at 33k), plus all recalls including the recent break-hoses. All done in Germany as they were sure that parts will be faster delivered to a German dealer than Czech one.

Porsche UK automatically replace tyres if they need doing/are below their stds.

Don't expect tyres to last forever on a Taycan. I wore a set in 15k miles or so (fresh depth about 7mm, down to the corners wearing through - search the forum for info on this phenomenon!).

Expect tyres to cost roughly 1k-1.2k for a full set.

Thanks for the advise. I can't find the battery thread, any clue what exactly to look for apart from the battarey ding? And as it is a porsche seller, should I ask for type 2 cable?
With regards to cables, it depends what you want to charge from. Public chargers between 3 and 22 kW usually need you to have a cable. DC chargers are all tethered

They're a lot of car for the money and it seems like a decent price to me.

If the colour and spec are good for you, go for it! Just do plenty of reading on here (plenty!) and ask the dealer to give you a full list of the recalls it's had done and which are outstanding :) (Heater and brakes should have both been done. Also ask about ARB5/6/7 and WRS0....all battery related.
