    CPO - 2022 Porsche Taycan Base - $116k - Good deal?

    You're welcome. No you would not get the credit if you are the second registered owner. CPO is worth about $3k.

    CPO - 2022 Porsche Taycan Base - $116k - Good deal?

    I think that might be a little high but it depends on how bad you want it. Is it a 1-owner car or a dealer demo (non-titled)? That would factor in for your tax credit eligibility which would take another $7,500 off the top. For reference, I just bought a 2021 RWD from a Porsche dealership with...

    Pre-Purchase Deal / Spec Review

    See avatar... Car should be delivered to me Wednesday at latest. Thanks for the advise all. Can't wait to enjoy it - though I have a meniscus tear surgery coming up and won't be able to enjoy it for long!

    Pre-Purchase Deal / Spec Review

    Don’t need a car immediately but this seems like a great deal. 2021 retail (sticker) and they added in a CPO warranty taking it to 5 years / unlimited. I sold the 911 and driving my beater Volt, it’s not fun and I worry how much longer it will go without some type of repair / maintenance...

    Pre-Purchase Deal / Spec Review

    Hi All, I found a 2021 demo car with 500 miles on it, offered at sticker (with a few dealer options, nothing too excessive but already tinted windows which is the bulk of it so it's whatever). I put a deposit on it last night. The car...

    Any Etron/Etron sportback owners on here?

    $82k is much more reasonable and the tax credit gets you down to mid-70's. I am on the list for a Polestar 2 BST 270 (who knows if I get a call for one) but I do have a service center within 150 miles of me and have a friend in San Diego that loves his and it has me thinking of pulling the...

    Any Etron/Etron sportback owners on here?

    I’ll echo sentiments already posted. Drove an etron S and the range was laughable (salesman said it was fully charged and showed 205mi range). Car is comfortable, for some reason my dealership only specs the comfort seats so they look a bit out of place with the sporty exterior. But at $97k ask...

    Spec'd up 4 CT vs minimal options 4S CT - thoughts

    I’m in the same boat. I have a deposit down and am first in line for a CT4but it’s with about $23k in options. I know some companies are working on a remap/piggyback that will take the 4 to 4S power levels and the cars will be identical but I know from a resale perspective that means nothing...

    Just Cancelled my 4S TCT Order

    Could you have just asked to work with a different sales advisor? Porsche isn’t Nissan, if you went to the sales manager and explained the situation, I’m sure they would have attempted to remedy it somehow. And if you purchased the car and didn’t like it, you could have always sold it for a...

    My most recent purchase. Sapphire sandwich. Yachtmaster 40 rhodium dial should be in soon, so they say…

    New CT on order, need help with build

    I owned a “base” 911 and probably pushed it harder than most. I never had trouble keeping up with my friends in GT3’s or GTS’s in the mountains. Power masks poor driving skills and while I won’t be taking my Taycan to road Atlanta, I think it will be plenty for what I need it for and the random...

    New CT on order, need help with build

    Noted on performance. I need to try a base car, but honestly 99% of my driving is cruising and commuting. Performance is a little lost on me nowadays - never thought I would say that. And I think our recent idea of performance is very skewed, the base CT4 would beat supercars from 30 years ago...

    Lotus Eletre

    You want to talk about complexity, 3 out of my last 4 car purchases have been plug-in hybrids. I've been lucky with the reliability but I think I'm ready to go full EV now. Just so used to never gassing up now.

    New CT on order, need help with build

    Agreed and that's my fear as well. I feel that some of the trim/carpet/leather in the gray is not a 100% match to one another. Whereas the black is black, albeit very stark... But I'm used to black leather Porsche's (911 and Panamera's both have black). Tough call.

    Lotus Eletre

    only 39 Lotus dealers in the US is a huge deal-breaker for me. There was a Lotus dealer within 20 minutes from me, but sadly they have closed since Covid. This lack of service network keeps me far away from cars like a Lotus, Rivian, Tesla, or any of the new startups that seem fly-by-night...

    New CT on order, need help with build

    I hear you on that, but I have hardly any traffic ever to compete with - one of the main things I do not miss about living in San Diego. I honestly don't think I would ever use it and hard for me to justify worrying about resale now... I am 6' and 185 and athletic with pretty wide shoulders...

    New CT on order, need help with build

    Good call on the mirrors and crests. I'm torn on the massage as well. This is the ultimate Porsche conundrum, spec creep because of the numerous options. I played around and got to $95k in options before I knew it. :whew:

    New CT on order, need help with build

    Right? Who cares - I de-badge all of my cars. If that guy knew anything about design he would think differently (I am in product design and development). Products (like cars) are not designed with logo/trim badge placement in mind - it is an afterthought and tacked on by the marketing team. A...

    New CT on order, need help with build

    Ideal scenario. But dealer only has 14-way's on the lot.
