Porsche Leicester by any chance?!

Ha I had friends who offered to "look after it" ? Was painful to turn it down, but ultimately a sensible decision. The dealer didn't provide that many details, but it seemed as though it was a cancellation owing to the urgency I had to provide a decision and get my spec locked in. So be...

The BIK is still tiny. It isn't charged on the total value of the car, it's charged at the BIK amount, but you pay the equivalent income tax percentage of the BIK. e..g. co car costs £125k. BIK at 2% = £2,500 where car is available to you all year Actual tax liability you must pay: Lower...

There's increasing numbers of cancellations so you will be bumped. I ordered the same time as you, but direct. I got the email (dealer did not call...) yesterday to say an allocation had come up. I was even expecting it. Had to confirm by COP, and delivery in April. Sadly had to decline as I...

Ha that as well. I'm very comfortable driving on the right, but have never done it in a RHD car - and certainly not one as large as a Taycan! I did pass up the allocation today, so will have a think. If I end up spending more time in Europe than the UK next few years, then it would also make...

Christ! My family has warned me against getting the car and then driving it into Europe where I will be living for some 6 months - and for that reason: someone might want to rob me for it. But then I wonder if the UK is actually the wild wild west where crooks know they can get away with it...

I was offered an allocation this morning for April delivery. GTS ST. Have to decide if I want it within the next 10 minutes. Just one major problem: I am leaving the UK for three months end of March ? It's looking like I will have to say no, which is quite hilarious considering the wait and...

Sage advice. They've given me until COP today to make a decision. The more I think about it, merely for logistics, I will probably have to cancel. Then look at buying again depending on where I settle.

Yes, a GTS ST... And I literally just got my allocation an hour ago! ? Build March, delivery April. Huge problem though: I am currently going through a process of shutting down everything and leaving the UK permanently by end of March. I will return 30-60 days a year. I could go ahead with it...

As your dealer said, there's more allocations this year. I hypothesised Porsche were expecting people to cancel based on 1. Extended wait times 2. Competitor products finally hitting the market 3. Economic downturn, risking cancellations. Porsche want to rush out orders before that happens...

Noticed that the other day as well. They've hidden PTS right down the configurator, and if you select it, the following message appears: Option not selectable because of existing blocking dates So looks like PTS is not available for the foreseeable. I doubt they will remove any of the...

Absolutely not, but the used Porsche (and other premium marques) market is about to get hammered is my prediction. Normal depreciation curves will return... Which means large drops in valuations since this time, the excessive used prices have a lot more to fall before reverting to the mean.

You've made the right decision based on what you've explained. I also agree there will be some used Taycan "bargains" to be had by late summer. You're otherwise paying a £20k premium for a few added bits of spec you can live without, perhaps a slight compromise on the colour, and adding another...

Epic. It is indeed ironic!

Seen it in person and it looks incredible. Tbh any colour looks great, it's really personal choice. Porsche paintwork is extremely high quality, it isn't a Toyota Yaris! Nice build and congrats on the allocation - now the wait gets real!

My birthday delivery date ? I've no idea if I'm keeping or cancelling at this point.

Sound systems are now back in the UK, however, PTS is currently unavailable.

Actually, if there is a spare drive and if I do go ahead with it, we can talk! Not sure about leaving the keys though ? I suppose you might need them in case of "emergency"!...

Yes there is a lot going on both in work and life, but should all be sorted within the next few months. It is that I have no real commitments that I am intent on leaving the UK! Much higher standard of living can be found elsewhere and with more fair taxation. Very useful to know about MVL'ing...

Deposit was £5k, which my last accountant put into the DLR, perhaps because he didn't know what it was or left it there and forgot about it. New accountant saw it and then sent an eye-water payment on account for this January. But not just because of that - he found more misallocated items so...
