UK Lease/Salary Sacrifice Order Tracker

[javelincoach]

Just for info, when I originally ordered my model X via Zenith, I was at first placed in the 12 month waiting process that was the ‘norm’ at that time, I subsequently found a non used/non registered demo already in the UK. Zenith, with a few additional actions swapped my order in order to get the UK demo resulting with a reduced deliver from 12 months to 2 weeks.

So I think there is the ability to adjust a long lead order with another that is at a dealer BUT there will be some criteria that will need to be checked/required to be available to reduce resale risk for the lease company at the end of the Salary Sacrifice scheme. Points to note that our initial order/scheme is only half of their business plan, the other of course is the end of term resale - so I imagine a majority of Salary Sacrifice companies will not stray too far from their ‘norm’ process and/or reluctant to add/change their purchase process…I.e ‘risk adverse.

Definitely, I work for a large organisation so we have a huge fleet so I imagine Leaseplan are a little more helpful due to the size of our fleet.
That said, I very much plan to buy my Taycan at the end of the lease due to the big discounts we are given.

I've just got an allocation for an October build and an 'early November' delivery, so about 6 weeks ahead of what was predicted from order point in September '22 until last update I had in early July.

that's great to hear! the non RWD and 4S saloon models do seem to be coming through quicker now

saw today that Octopus EV are offering 2nd hand EVs under Sal Sac now too!

That will make ownership (especially of higher end models) through the scheme even more attractive for many I bet

Just back from some time away on the beautiful island of Mauritius… taxi picks us up from the airport and the first car I see as we hit the motorway was a blue Cross Turismo!

If they can get one all the way out in the middle of the Indian Ocean, I wish they’d hurry up in getting one to me in southeast London ?

Great thread but thoroughly depressing seeing how long it has/is taking to get these cars delivered. Congrats to all those who have taken delivery!

I've added my order to the tracker but for info;
RWD order placed in May 2022
Salary sacrifice via Lex, supplying dealer is Porsche Cambridge
No lock-in or build slot as yet, portal showing delivery on track for Dec 2023

Worst of all, Mamba Green no longer available which has rendered my username obsolete

Recent message from Porsche Cambridge, via Lex when requesting an update;

‘Taycan RWD models have one of the largest outstanding order demands with Porsche and have been allocated by the manufacturer to the UK market in smaller numbers than originally anticipated. Due to this, lead time on this model is considerable compared to less demanded models, such as Sport Turismo or Turbo derivatives."

@MambaScot

sounds like the same line I had a few months ago! RWD and 4S Saloons have the longest wait. I'm really not holding out much hope for my suggested Feb delivery next year.

at this rate, Mamba Green might be back available for MY25!

 

[Jin]

I'm in absolute shock!

"Hope all is well. Porsche have allocated a November build for your Taycan 4S order demand, therefore estimated delivery to you is around December 2023."

need to lock in by 30th!
