    Lotus Eletre Tour

    Went today to the one in Bristol, very impressive car to be fair!

    Anyone considered the Lotus Eletre?

    Not sure if it's EVs or just generally these days but struggle to find decent info on when these cars will be available to order, when they will be at dealers etc. Saw the Polestar 3 launch, looks ok but be interesting to see how it drives but although order books open I couldn't see when they...

    Salary Sacrifice - Lex

    I am 6 months into the process to get my place to setup our SS scheme. Like pulling teeth and still not quite there yet. We have been able to appoint a supplier from the CCS framework (as public sector) which means potential of discounts on the cars as well as the usual SS scheme benefits, but...

    Salary Sacrifice - Love Electric/Tusker

    Not sure if it's helpful but when we met with LoveElectric (part of testing the market for providers) looking at my notes they said they used the whole of the market in that they would search for best deal and use 3rd party leasing companies. So if that's the case then likely it might be the...

    Is this normal service?

    Basically (and i'm relatively new to dealing with Porsche dealers) but it seems from others and recent experiences that it is their belief that you should be honoured they have taken your order and that when they want to update you they will. Having said that, these delays and wider issues are...

    What has happened to used Taycan prices?

    If you can afford the car, enjoy the car - don't worry about depreciation before you have even bought it! YOLO.

    Minimum extras spend to accept an order?!

    Thanks - interesting option to have for those using salary sacrifice for leasing. Personally it wouldnt work for me, as we are utilising a public sector framework and the cars are sourced via one of the Lots so it means discounted pricing. But open market suppliers like Octopus, its a good...

    Minimum extras spend to accept an order?!

    With this would you get the £5k deposit back you pay to get a slot/order in queue? With salary sacrifice and company car providers don’t they tend to have specific OPC dealers they deal with?

    What has happened to used Taycan prices?

    It seems WBAC have dropped prices over the last few weeks across the board. They are always demand led and so with the current Ukraine situation and it’s impact then it’s not a shock that they are planning on demand dropping for a period. Ironically the same issues means new cars will continue...

    Minimum extras spend to accept an order?!

    This post is special. Honestly, not sure if you are on a wind up or not with your posts on this thread?!? If you are then you have got me hook line and sinker. £9k of options on a GTS is not "bare bones" - if you think it is then IMO and to be brutally honest with you, you are off your rocker...

    Minimum extras spend to accept an order?!

    Good to hear another dealer has accepted the order, is it a salary sacrifice scheme you are using? As it's lease it might be that the original dealer want's to make more money from deal and so is pushing the options aspect. I believe the majority of options don't make a difference in terms of...

    Sorry but that's terrible advice!

    New here and about to order...

    So i managed to get a good test drive in a 4S CT today, must say I was impressed. I had high expectations but it definately delivered, took family with me to try and get wife onboard (she wants an SUV) so didn't fully utilise the power but the ride, performance and sense of theatre inside (as...

    Residual values starting to dip??

    I've used Wizzle and Motorway before and both are good options. Currently debating whether once my Taycan order goes in (still waiting for work EV SS Scheme to go live) to sell my X5M as it's currently worth more than I paid for it 9 months ago. Would then look at a stop-gap for the lead time...

    New Porsche models on leasing/ss platforms

    Thanks - Did you do this for a salary sacrifice lease order?

    New Porsche models on leasing/ss platforms

    Anyone able to shed any light on when this might happen? I am waiting on the 4S ST to appear on salary sacrifice scheme systems, it's not on there or any leasing sites yet. I did ask some leasing companies but their response was that they havent received the figures from Porsche yet. Just out...

    New here and about to order...

    It is high, I would assume your employer setup is not to pass on any savings and so you are paying the full whack unless I am missing something. It does show that there is money being made somewhere though as it is around £1200 inc maintenance elsewhere if leasing. So only insurance and tusker...

    New here and about to order...

    Yes £1,150 is the cost for that for me. The issue is that whilst yes they are far apart that can be due to a number of reasons and not necessarily Tuskers pricing strategy - employers setup, insurance based on post code etc. Sorry for stupid question but are you sure you are higher rate tax...

    New here and about to order...

    Do you know if your company are passing on NI savings and any reclaimed VAT? Given your pricing I assume not. For me (with Gentian Blue, BOSE and 20" alloys) it is coming out via Tusker at £718 over 4yrs and 5k mpa - I am in the higher tax bracket (40%) and a good insurance area. This is based...
