Taycan Turbo buying condition.

[Speuk]

Everything is negotiable at Porsche OPCs at the moment. They will sell for less than £59k.

It should come with 2 years warranty as standard from an OPC. Check it has had its 40k mile service, if not they should do it for free and the 111 point check and 2 year warranty with all Approved used cars.

Always put it up on the ramp and inspect underside for dents in battery cover. Get them to check tracking.

Check it is not subject to any of the current battery checks.

I would look for one with a lower mileage and better spec. This one at Porsche Mid Sussex has 12k miles and nice spec but 20" wheels which will give a better ride but not look quite as good as 21" Kevin Bender at Mid-Sussex is your man.... I negotiated £36k off one of his demo cars recently.

Or try and find a one a bit newer....

Never be afraid to offer a really low price. Some have bought brand new cars with 40% off this month.

They're a lot of car for the money and it seems like a decent price to me.

If the colour and spec are good for you, go for it! Just do plenty of reading on here (plenty!) and ask the dealer to give you a full list of the recalls it's had done and which are outstanding (Heater and brakes should have both been done. Also ask about ARB5/6/7 and WRS0....all battery related.

What is ARB 5/6 /7 and WRS0? And if the dealer is Porsche with 2 years warranty, shouldn't I feel safe?

You can search on here.

This post covers two of the recalls ARB 6 and 7. The first post contains links to the North American details.
Whilst the warranty will get it fixed your car could be subject to prolonged restrictions on charging only to 80% and if the cells or battery need replacing it could be off the road for weeks. You really want to know that the car doesn't have any bad cells already identified. This is simple to establish with the dealership PIWIS diagnostic system or even a £30 OBD scanner. Of course it can't predict future issues. Ask the dealer to provide a full diagnostic report on battery cells, voltage, soc, temp differences across cells and battery SOH %

It's getting scarier and scarier, I'm traveling to see the car and should arrive in an hour. I'll try to read as much as possible until then and ask them for these details. Seems like you know a lot about the Taycan, if you have any further warnings, please let me know. Thank you so much ??

They are fantastic cars, I'm on my second one. They are desperate to sell units so you have the upper hand.

Put the reg into Webuyanycar and Motorway and it will give you a good idea of what they paid for it. Probably around £45 to £50k so they will be pleased to shift it at any sort of profit.
Play the card "I'm off to look at another one with better spec and lower mileage this afternoon ".... be prepared to walk away. You can always go back next week....

I have successfully neglected 4 new tyres, should I try to push the price down to £55k?

I was a huge fan of the mentioned car, but I'm keen on 5 seater. I found another not in porsche very nice and full specs but £69k from a stand, which is crazy, the main gain would be the ACC and 8k miles, which I don't believe is worth an extra £10k!

Definitely negotiated down and make sure it's got the 2 year Porsche warranty!

If you are keen on ACC the one at Porsche Mid Sussex has ACC and Innodrive. ... I bet they would let it go for £59k or less

 

[MKM]

Will do, thank you so much for your advise, really appreciate it??. Will update you by the end of today?

What do you think about this one apart from the exaggerated price?

Looks a nice car, but i would prefer to buy from an OPC and the price is crazy even for if it were an OPC. I would also insist on 111 point check by Porsche Centre and 2 years warranty before buying

Have a look on Sytner website to see what they have available, they often list more on their Sytner website than on the Porsche website.

Autotrader car is way too expensive and warranty will be a hassle - dealer cannot put a Porsche warranty on it. So you'd need them to pay to put it through the full warranty check and agree to pay to fix *anything* Porsche find to ensure it can go under warranty properly...plus pay for the warranty (2yrs is just over 2k, the pre-check will be a few hundred at least) and some dealers are offering service plans I noticed (another 500quid at least).

Compared to main dealer cars, I reckon that one is 10k-20k overpriced.
