Has Taycan Depreciation Changed the Porsche Experience?

[uniqueMR]

It is what it is. Depreciation is part of luxury market.

Sticker was $138k but no Taycan sells for sticker (at least 8% discount), so let's say 127k
The car is 1.5 years old - build date 11.07.2024.

You don't think 28k in 2 years is normal? The car already lost at least 10k when it drove out the dealership with 0 miles on it.

I don't see anything special here.

Exactly my point. Normal/nothing special.

It seemed above you were suggesting the j1.1 depreciation was worse and they were obsolete because of the J1.2, which would also suggest that the 1.2 will do better with depreciation.

My point is that from what I’m seeing, they’re both experiencing the same level of normal depreciation for a Taycan. Still early to draw complete conclusions though, but early evidence seems to point to it.

My local dealership offers 25% off new, any model any options, individual order (stock cars 30-35% off, calendar year 2025 cars). Formally with factory approval, but never refused an order yet.

Here is the time to reevaluate the real life value of this EV.

wow nice, never heard that in France, at -25% I'd order right away the Cayenne EV I speced

It is Taycan only, not Cayenne or not any other models.

oh ok, well could still be interesting if coupled to a 36 months lease and trade-in of my current Turbo J1.1

Interesting, but how much does the car cost in HUF compared to EUR? Are you sure there is not some FX shenanigans baked in there?

Because in that case it would have definitely been good for me to buy from Hungary (if they bought my Turbo S). Too late now though.

I am afraid trade in value would be shocking. On the other hand no way to accept a Taycan as a trade-in.

No. We have EUR prices. We pay in EUR.

Where were you 6 months ago?

I understand you... Unfortunately Porsche started to keep sells locally, so only for locals. I paid a price of it, since I could not extend my warranty in Austria, it is prohibited.
And I think 6 months ago it was 10-15%.

I paid MSRP for my GT3 in April, first (early) car.
Now they have 4 on stock for around 6 months, price 5-10% of...
Bad luck.

I got around 8% on my car from Germany, and I asked around and that was the going rate back then.
But they did pay a really good price for my Turbo S. Other dealers were offering 10-15k less.

Trade in value matters a lot.
In Hungary, trade in is not so often 1/100 I guess.
Anyway I got 8% off in 2022 as well.

Yeah, I only "lost" 7k in value on the Turbo S after driving it for over half a year, so I consider that pretty decent.
The Porsche center here did not want to buy it at all, they wanted to put it for sale, at a lower price than was offered in Germany and also collect 3% of the sale price.

They did offer me a 10% discount, but the destination fee is much higher here, so in the end the effective discount was not really any higher than in Germany.

So did I understand correctly that you traded your car in in Germany, bought a new one and imported that to Estonia?

Maybe that is the way to try here in France as well because the dealers have zero interest in any kind of trade:
”We have too many used Taycans in stock”

I do not think my dealer has sold any for a year now
