    Trade-in values?

    I got curious as well. Driveway.com offered $118k. Sticker was $136k, 2022 4S.

    WNJ8, WNK1, ANA6 Software Updates & Recall details

    Another data point. Dropped my car on Sept 1st and still waiting. Tomorrow is a holiday so not expecting to pick up until midweek at best. Guess I fall into the unlucky bunch waiting a week or more. This wouldn’t be so bad if there was a loaner available.

    Ouch. The car gods can be so unkind.

    Hood damage

    Hey folks! Well, I am happy to say that I just returned to my office from picking up my vehicle. My gosh! 45+ days was torture. The old girl looks amazing and some kid in a Camaro tried to race me on my way back. He almost sideswiped me trying to prove a point so I let him have his fun. Yes...

    Hood damage

    Thank you for your answer. This is pretty much what I was told today after I had time to digest the enormity of the job and I talked with the guy at the shop. I’m glad this was very minor and no one was hurt of course and my feelings about it are truly first world problems. I just hate that this...

    Hood damage

    Yes. That was before I cut that piece of PPF off. Not a cut. But definitely down to the metal.

    Hood damage

    Yup. I thought the same re CarMax etc. I initially was not going to involve insurance at all. I’ve only had body work done on one car in my lifetime of owning cars but was thinking hood replacement might be an option so I called them. I’m totally fine with going out of pocket if they can just...

    Hood damage

    Good points. Painting the whole front end sounded extra but I’ll see what the send over. Really a new hood is what I want. The front end was wrapped within a week of me picking it up so I can’t imagine it will be that much of a difference.

    He explained it that way. Matching the hood. The front end is currently wrapped. I’ll see what he included when I get the estimate back. At this point I’m really wishing this had never happened.

    Hood damage

    Update: So I went to the one body shop in my state that’s Porsche certified. Luckily it was just 30 min away. He’s thinking hood replacement and painting the entire front end. He can probably fight it out with Progressive since he’s familiar with their shenanigans. Based on their schedule I can...

    Hood damage

    Thought about that but I was undecided about even doing a claim. I still have an appointment for the shop to check the damage in 10 days. After thinking about it for a couple of days I decided to get the claim going since everything is taking longer than usual and my impression of the damage was...

    Hood damage

    That’s what I’m thinking. Definitely neither of those places. This is going to be a headache.

    Ah yes. The hidden costs. The offending rack has been removed and put in storage. ?

    Hood damage

    That makes sense. My dealer suggested a shop so I trust their opinion. I was thinking they would replace it which seems expensive. Agree this isn’t a spot repair. Guess I will see what the shop says.

    Hood damage

    It crossed my mind. Seriously though, she immediately started crying, practically hyperventilating which is very out of character so I went through my feelings quietly. ?

    Hood damage

    Hey folks. So just have a quick question. My wife backed into my car and the bike rack on the Jeep caused a significant scrape down to the metal and minor dent(s). Insurance thinks my deductible will cover the damage (1k). Anyone ever have damage like this and what was the cost to fix? Waiting...

    Upgraded from 2020 Taycan 4S to 2022 Taycan 4S

    Interesting write up. My 22 is in for service and I have a 20 loaner. It’s funny because I’ve been driving it like I stole it vs babying my car. I’ve noticed range is far better in the 20 but I have mission e and only 1200 mi so far. My top range has been just over 200 on a full charge and the...

    All right friends. My car is at the dealer. Got the call this AM. My guy says he’ll try to have me squared away before Thursday. Best Monday ever.

    I’m showing arrival at dealer in New Orleans 11/26. I feel like that’s excessive. But we’ll see.
