  1. Dreaded stone chip scratch through the front wheel vent

    I don’t understand why people spend six figures on a car, then baulk at a few grand for PPF. I‘ve had it on my last three cars and now just factor it into the overall cost. There’s a nasty scuff on my bonnet’s PPF, but I know that would be a stone chip down to the primer if not the bare metal...
  2. Depreciation

    Oh, yeah, I agree. On the Porsche Finder (and Autotrader), there's really only one car I would genuinely consider; a GTS for £118,000, which has pretty much every option I want. Shame the dealership is a three-hour drive away...
  3. Depreciation

    I think you will struggle to find many without privacy glass. What kind of price are you considering? I think there are a couple of really good cars on the market, but you still need to spend north of £100K to get one with low mileage and good, useful options, like surround view and rear wheel...
  4. Baggy leather - is this normal?

    Leather stretches, soft leather stretches more, and I assume perforated leather is even worse. Had this in my iPace and BMW 440i. The larger the leather panel the more susceptible it is. But weirdly, the Taycan seems inconsistent - I’ve seen second-hand cars both with and without sagging; I’ve...
  5. Taycan makes the wrong list

    The Internet is indeed a vast sea of shite - and now most of it will be ‘written’ by Chat GPT.
  6. would you buy taycan if it wasn't electric ?

    No, for this much money I‘d probably get something more exotic. But having gone electric, I can’t go back to ICE. And from what I can tell, the Taycan is best looking, best driving EV on the market. I just need our building work to end, and the skip on my drive to go. Then it’s off to the...
  7. Potential 4S owner...

    Ah man, sorry to hear that. I'm staying away from diamond cuts or carbon fibre. Just give me a wheel I can rub down and spray black! Surround view is an absolute must that's for sure. Do you switch from the birds-eye view to a view from the mirrors?
  8. Potential 4S owner...

    Yeah, I've learned about options resale value the hard way.
  9. Potential 4S owner...

    So I've been looking at a lot of cars in my budget bracket of between £100K and £120K. There are some ex-demos floating around and nearly-news, so for a laugh I've been putting their number plates into Motorway,com to see what their value is, and a £120,000 4S on a 72 plate – really huge spec –...
  10. Potential 4S owner...

    Yeah, the BMW has a similar surroundview and I use it ALL the time. I barely look out of the window or at the mirrors. For my intended budget, there seems to be some VERY nice nearly-new cars out there...
  11. Potential 4S owner...

    Yeah, I've had wheels fixed in the past. I guess it's inevitable – I just wondered if the Taycan was a worse culprit than other cars.
  12. Potential 4S owner...

    I think I'm looking at pre-owned so I'll have to keep an eye out for that.
  13. Potential 4S owner...

    It would stick out by 10cm, and I doubt I could actually open the door far enough to get out.
  14. Potential 4S owner...

    I'd contemplated the idea of going for back wheels, as a sand down and spray would tidy them up quickly and easily. If I do get a Taycan I can honestly say I will avoid multi-storeys like the plague that they are. Glad the outdoors doesn't seem to have any adverse effects on the car. I'd wrap a...
  15. Potential 4S owner...

    Hi. Currently on my second EV, a BMW i4 M50 (a very good car). In the absence of anything else as good looking and also electrified, the Taycan is a distinct possibility as the next stop on my automotive journey to bankruptcy. But it wont fit in my old garage. The M50 is snug; I'm not sure the...
