  1. Which UK Home Charger

    Here’s the Wallbox pulsar plus in situ. now all I need is a car to charge with it....
  2. Which UK Home Charger

    I’ve just had a Wallbox pulsar plus installed. I’ve got the 3 phase box but just connected a single phase to start - future proofing as we might get 3 phase power to the house in the coming months. it’s really neat and has a separate holster for the tethered power plug which suits our...
  3. Lease vs Buy

    hi there as I understand it I can claim 100% first year allowance up front even though I’m financing it on a contract purchase (as opposed to lease). When I sell it or hand it back the value received for the car is a taxable gain but that’s okay as at least that charge is deferred for a while :)
  4. Lease vs Buy

    yep it’s the dealer applying but apparently they need to know if the car is being financed or not and what name (or company name) it is going to be registered in to lodge the initial application it’s a finance purchase rather than lease so expecting to benefit from the £3.5k towards my deposit
  5. Lease vs Buy

    Just to update I ended up with a Porsche PCP through my business at 6.1% APR, £110k list price, £55k deposit and £55k GFV after 3 years and 30k miles. I’m happy with that. Applying for OLEV grant now to try to get in the queue before it potentially runs out.
  6. U.K. Launch/Deliveries pushed back?

    Got my invitation to the launch event at my local dealer today. But max 2 people (including me). Our purchase decision and spec (we have been locked in since 10 Jan) was a truly family decision and I’d love to take my 2 sons as well as wife - dealership currently saying that’s not possible (max...
  7. UK - Cheap contract hire deal on 4S!

    I was trying to get some comfort around residuals in case they go down much more than expected and ease of moving the car on after 3 years if I want to. I’m trying to decide between a PCP where I pay the deposit equal to the difference between the sale price and the GFV so just pay interest on...
  8. UK - Cheap contract hire deal on 4S!

    That sounds great. My 4S is coming in at £110,464, do you know if they will do over £100k list price and over £60k loan value - that seems to be a cap on their online calculator. Cheers
  9. UK - Cheap contract hire deal on 4S!

    Hi @Lfcdan I just got a PCP quote today from Porsche, which was at 6.8% APR. Have all dealers reduced the APR or is that something that needs to be negotiated with the specific dealer do you think? Cheers
  10. Taycan 4s April delivery

    I'm told the V250 was actually 10th January. Expected production date early April....
  11. Taycan 4s April delivery

    My 4S went to V250 on 10 Jan but apparently isn’t being built until early April :-(
  12. Lease vs Buy

    the quote i got didn’t specify the interest rate and residual. I do know that the MSRP of the build is £110,383 though. Porsche build https://www.porsche.com/microsite/porsche-code/default.aspx?c=/PLR8QLD3 I’m guessing I’m paying in full for most of those options on a lease.....
  13. Lease vs Buy

    Ouch. Got a contract hire price and it came in at 6 + 35 payments of £1,467.20 plus VAT. Given I can get half the VAT back that comes out at £66k over 3 years and 30k miles. That’s without maintenance and is probably because there are £27k of extras on my 4S build I guess bringing the price to...
  14. Lease vs Buy

    Thanks all the info is really helpful. I haven’t leased a car through my business before but can you get contracts that allow you to buy the car at the end if you don’t want to hand it back, like PCP? With BIK so low it doesn’t make sense for me to take the money out of the business at 50% plus...
  15. Lease vs Buy

    Hi Im in the U.K. and I’m wondering whether to lease or buy my 4s which is scheduled for delivery late April/early May. I have a limited company so can do a business lease, or just buy it outright. It works for me to buy it through my company either way with the BIK rates so low. The thing...
  16. U.K. Launch/Deliveries pushed back?

    Mine is looking the same. Originally Jan build for Feb delivery, then Feb build for March delivery, now early April build for late April / early May delivery :-(
  17. Home charging in the UK

    Checked with the dealer and they said my 4S is in V250 and if I want to change anything I can but it will likely push back the delivery date. They aren’t giving me the current expected date though - keeping that very close to their chest. It locked on 10 Jan. Wallbox Pulsar Plus being...
  18. Home charging in the UK

    I’ll enquire with the dealer about whether the car is actually locked... I was told it was on 10th Jan at V250 but as you say it seems the 4S builds have been pushed back so it may not actually be locked.
  19. Home charging in the UK

    I just ordered a Wallbox Pulsar Plus - I like the separate “holster” for the plug which suits where we want it installed, and it seems to have one of the very few well rated apps on the App Store. Hopefully will be installed within a couple of weeks. Will let you know how I get on but will...

    Unfortunately for those of us outside Scotland, I think the EST grant is only available in Scotland?
