    Private plates - cheesy or cool?

    Already done the ''willy swinging plate when the 4S was new back in '21' but all too recognisable when hooning around the place. I find this to be THE best UK sourced private reg out there ;-/

    Devaluing the Brand for a Sales Finance joke .

    No, we did it on absolutely everything for two years. We use a national accountant so nothing dodgy!!

    Devaluing the Brand for a Sales Finance joke .

    Agree, in hindsight, contract hire /monthly may have been the better route. I bought outright, claimed the VAT ( 20% tax ) and Company corp tax at 130% post covid so it probably stands on the books at less than half what I paid. I don't really care, awesome, exciting, practical car and with the...

    Porsche’s valuation of Taycan

    Oh boy, i hate bad EV news....It used to be called a Friday afternoon car in the good old days of British Layland & drinking at work was acceptable, not PC now, shame :-) I guess they made many "Tincans" on a Friday HOWEVER....I absolutely love my VERY reliable CT4S of October 21 vintage, 20k...

    Devaluing the Brand for a Sales Finance joke .

    Oh dear, Leicester Porsche breaks cover out of desperation ? . The headline devalues the brand when really only a fool would take 4 yrs, 5000m at 11.3% apr and a £60k balloon and no final guaranteed value! Same on you Leicester Porsche.

    Connectivity issues UK and recall

    Apart from not been able to see any instrumentation, listen to music etc, not sure if it affects the PSAM gyros and other safety features, I wouldn’t like to test it hence pull over and restart. 2nd time this has happened in 20k miles so not stressing.

    Connectivity issues UK and recall

    Yep, on route to Porsche to have winter alloy swap, PCM bombed mid drive. Had to pull in, turn car off and on before PCM fired back up. Service reception said there was a recall and a very recent software update to do. I didn't have time so will attend to that another time. More updates than an...

    Trading MY23 4s CT for a MY22 Turbo S CT - thoughts

    But sticky rubber and drive the 4S like you stole it, even in the UK wet ( can't do that in a TS ) - save 1yr warranty, £30k - £40k min, plus a HUGE load of depreciation, go 40m further on a charge, The TSCT could be a pup in hiding re reliability issues on heaters / 12v battery drain...

    Quandary on new GTS

    Mine arrived in March 23, I was one week before collection, fortunately, I only put a much smaller deposit down due to the fact ( maybe that ) I am a previous CT purchaser, I had the same thoughts, far more expensive car crashing even more cash is not my idea of fun. Keeping the CT4S (20,000m )...

    Thieves scoping Taycan

    Only person I personally know who lost one was when he left it at the airport meet and greet, Manchester! ….they said it went from their secure yard…with the keys. Note - wheels are £5k min so best not leave it for too long on a street me thinks

    Turismo rear hydraulic boot strut noise

    Anyone found a solution for the operating noise - sounds like a loud yawning Hippo ! Just as abad opening as closing. Tried WD40, worked for 5 mins, than back to being a Hippo. Wanted a quick fix rather than ''death at the dealer'' as I will never get that time of my life back.. Cheers

    Should I sell my new Taycan GTS ST (UK)?

    My uk GTS ST arrived in Feb, binned it, loosing the deposit was the cheapest decision. Keeping the CT4S as they have bombed and GTS was costing was costing £31k more for not a great deal more of car, my bad. £105k well spec’d CT4S was valued with 12k miles / 15 months at £65k ( webuyanyheap ) to...

    Sport Turismo - parcel shelf query

    It’s crap, offers no sound deadening from the boot ‘boom’ of wheels over bad roads plus the connectors for the suspension ropes both snapped off the connectors all during just 16000m. Warranty I know, still a poor show for £100k+ car.

    Taycan 4S Pricing and Residuals

    Sorry for the late reply. Originally Stockport offered 92 and Sheffield, 90 K. As the weeks grew closer to the beginning of March, Sheffield were no longer interested, and Stockport said they would review the figures once I collect the car or SOR. I’ve decided not to take the GTS. I had a very...

    Taycan 4S Pricing and Residuals

    No problems as all re width. Tight areas are a breeze with RWS ( Rear Wheel Steer ) option and super good at BIG speeds on the twists and turns in the Alps.

    Taycan 4S Pricing and Residuals

    Yes. but more at the mo due to silly high prices mid last year, now the BIG dip then a level off July onwards ....still 18 - 20 month wait for a 4S min and demand remains high. It will average 10%pa moving forward. Turbo S and Turbo's hit worse obvs. The RWD may make more sense! / less £ loss...

    Taycan CT4S - deep bass noise from car and dog stress

    All depends on road speed and surface, id say 40mph seems worst. I now have winter tyres on and it's the same as on the 21 in summers. Now done 13k miles but I still notice it on odd days....like the base speaker is on without any music playing. Collecting the GTS version in March so not long...
