Just had some excellent charging experiences worth reporting.
Travelled from Manchester to Edinburgh Friday evening. Back Sunday afternoon. Peak times.
Aimed for Gretna Ionity with trepidation as only 4 chargers still.
On way up saw a sign before Tebay services advertising new chargers...
Well done.
Perhaps Admiral does not see the North West as as much of a crime infested
cess pit as other insurance companies?
This line made me chuckle - "obviously after 3 years it's quite a bit lower"
You are not kidding!
I just sold a GTS driven like a granny with 14,000 miles
All tyres were legal but close to replacement - 2-4mm
And YES the fronts were worse
The trouble with the NFO PZeros is they are immaculate dry handlers but terrible for wear
Typical original fit tyres. The GTS was marketed as the...
Your figures prove the finance price IS broken.
You only got a great deal on a nearly new because of a FORTY GRAND discount and artificial GFV.
Of course it won’t be worth that.
You probably got a better rate of finance than 10.9% too.
Same for Neil.
Well done getting great deals both of...
Because depreciation is the single largest factor in buying a car and anybody apart from the super rich gives a large shit about losing £50,000 in 2 years.
We buy Porsches to minimise depreciation but it’s now gone stupid.
That comparison was between EQC and Macan (1/3)
The EQC would be 1/4...
Not at all.
He does go on a bit and I already knew what he was saying but the important info is front loaded and he is not trolling Porsche or EVs in general so I think this video is valid and useful.
He is just presenting brutal facts about finance and depreciation.
Useful info saving people...
And finally.....
Every time I renew the renewal price has gone up and I do all the comparison sites.
I jumped the gun this year by doing comparison sights BEFORE getting renewal price. Where I got mad £8000 Taycan renewal quote.
Best was 1200 on Audi and 1500 on Mercedes.
Mercedes more...
BL1 is officially part of the Golden Treble!
I park off road in BL1 in a locked garage. Still get clubbed.
Probably be cheaper if I kept my cars parked overnight on the street in Gaza.
I hope you can get your cars off the street.
Do you have Comfort Access on the Taycan?
The villains could...
That's the advantage of living in Europe.
There is a definite non-spurious reason insurance and repair costs have gone up in UK more than Europe.
Thanks to the economic marvel of Brexit. It is a big factor.
When my Audi was repaired in 2021, Covid was a factor but the price of parts has...
Interestingly I am with Admiral multicar at the moment
Last year £2700 for Taycan, Etron and House
Cant remember split - Taycan £1600 Etron 900 House 200?
Waiting for renewal prices tomorrow........watch this thread
Those quotes I posted above are from Compare the Market
I have got quotes...
Just got a quote on my new Mercedes
EQC
I was disappointed as it is only £100 cheaper than my Taycan GTS was last year.
I got rid of the Taycan today but decided to see what it would have cost me….
Same comparison website, all the same conditions. The Taycan is worth half what it was a year...
Take the lower unless you are SURE you will do the mileage.
I am handing back with 2000 excess miles and paying £340.
The next block up would have given me 12,000 more miles and cost much more than £15 a month.
I had a mate with a big commute who took a 15,000 mile a year deal for 3 years...
£300 or nearest offer.
THEY ONLY FIT YOUR SALOON TAYCAN IF YOU HAVE THE GLASS ROOF
I am in Bolton near Manchester. If you come and pick them up I will fit them for you, make you a cup of tea and let you use my home charger!
If you live not too far away and somewhere interesting I might even...
Just sold my Taycan with glass roof.
After DerekS and others experience and more recently the glass roof being shattered by its own boot/trunk I will never buy another Taycan with glass roof. I will accept my kids will be in a darker environment and I can’t carry anything on the roof.
Ambient...
I have heard that analogy!
Keeping a Porsche in the garage and driving a banger every day. That is foolish
I Didn’t save it for the weekend!
It was my only car. Daily driving you can’t go around smashing it. it was driven gently just because there was no option.
Still loved being in and...
