You know, even with all the crazy depreciation I think I beat the lease prices. Here's my math if it's helpful: MSRP $168k, I wound up paying $150k I believe (after discount, EV federal credit, etc..). It might have been a little less, but let's say $150k. If I sell it now for $90k (I have...
Sold the GLS, so the Taycan is next. I have an offer for $87,500 currently - so waiting to see if anyone comes in any higher then that. I have about 5 weeks before the new car (electric G wagon, G580) arrives - so if anyone is interested please PM me.
I think for 911 allocations they are more strategic - with the Taycan, they know the EV market is slow now and they want to give dealerships an opportunity to clear out the MY24's. I was thinking about getting a MY25, but the deals are just not great and I know the depreciation will once again...
Mine lasted about 2.5 years for my main key, and 3.5 years for the spare that I never used. My primary key I keep about 20 feet away from the car. I hear that if you keep it much closer when not being used that it drains the battery. In other words, even if it's not in the car but a few feet...
I've done the NJ to Boston route a few times on my Taycan, there are plenty of EA stations along the way (mostly in CT) and other brands if you get one of the other EV-charging apps. I think you'll be fine - just plan for a charging stop-over somewhere in CT to be safe. To note, I made it Boston...
Wife is getting a regular RR (3-row one). I was trying to get her into an EV - but neither the Escalade IQ nor the electric RR will be here in time. And I guess it's not a bad idea to keep one ICE car anyway.
G580 looks interesting. I'm not a Mercedes person, but I think I'm ready to try...
I have an opportunity to take delivery of one of the first ones - being loaded on a boat next week, arrival in the US sometime in October. But I'm also in the process of trading in my wifes GLS for a Range Rover, so a little bit tricky to do this last-second purchase, but we'll see if I can make...
Interesting. Same same but different - I'm most likely going with a G580. Also an EV truck per-say. Just listed my Taycan a few hours ago, fingers crossed.
I think typically where you live/register it. I do know some people were doing some funny business living in NYC and registering it at relatives houses in NJ, but probably not a good idea lol. Similarly, I know lots of people register their exotics in other states (Colorado?) and form LLC's in...
Ahh, didn't see this until I just responded, but $120k is a decent price given the current market honestly. I know someone with a 22 Turbo S that's getting $110k & lower trade-in prices from dealers. Hopefully I don't wind up with seller's remorse like you lol. I didn't follow the entire thread...
Not sure if it's a helpful data point for you, but for my 2021 Taycan Turbo (that I just listed), I'm being offered ~$85k as trade-in, so figure +$5-10k private party (best case). Yours is an S and 1 year newer, so maybe $15k more then the $90ish I plan to get for mine. I think you'd have to be...
Absolutely, I have an opportunity to get one much sooner then expected, so assuming I can sell the Taycan, I might have one of the first ones on the ground in the US.
Might have a chance to get a G580 in a few weeks - 1st one in the US, so listing my Taycan for sale. The market has been all over the place, so it will be interesting to see where I net out with it. Listed it on Taycan Forum 1st (and exclusively for now) of course :)...
Need to eventually sell the Taycan and my wife's GLS in the next few months, which sells first will depend which gets a quicker sale lol. For anyone in NJ who can turn this around quickly enough, you can avoid sales TAX (NJ is starting EV sales tax in a few weeks). Love the car overall, 0 issues...
