Welcome to our love/hate world and one of the most informative forums on the web. Aside from the depreciation hit (which someone else took for you), it's the best combination of sporty zing, handling and comfort I've ever owned.
Have done 3M PPF full body on our Taycan and 911. The Taycan is a 3M clear satin over Cherry Red metallic. The 911 is 3M Miami Blue over white. Happy with both.
Yep. Mine is the same and got it for under $3,600. Shop around! Dealers have a lot of flexibility on this. I suggest trying Newport Beach Porsche and Chandler AZ Porsche. The warranty itself is good at any dealership.

Yep. Those damned republicans infected millions of chickens with bird flu before the election and then didn’t rescind the culling orders from the CDC. Right on point.
We live on the edge of the desert and pack rats have a dietary attraction to the plastic sheathing around Porsche electrical wiring. We’ve had two Cayennes that provided $3,000+ meals. Our local dealer said it was due to the sheathing having a soy component. Now all cars are garaged.
