Nothing is perfect and everything breaks or will experience a defect during it's lifetime.
It's most definitely to be expected on a new platform like Porsches. However, to classify the car as less reliable wholesale is a stretch. Is it reliable to get you from A to B, it's core duty? Or is it...
A little counterintuitive to want to keep costs low but still add a bunch of performance oriented options. Here is a short list as others have confirmed:
RAS - improved handling
PB+ - higher top speed and improved range
Air Suspension - improved performance on varying surfaces and active smart...
You can expect a premium. Best way is to buy it and find out. It'll be hard to say and you definitely need to own it first. I don't think you could just sell the allocation privately and have the dealer re-assign it.
Any premium you'd make would probably go back into any new car you'd get. So...
This article is noise imo. The data needs to be broken down across sub-categories like mechanical, software, structural etc. Also needs to be further divided into failure modes and issue severity. Even then it would still be noise. I'd much rather than 1000 software bugs impacting "reliability"...
You can also choose lower miles such as 2500 and 5000 mile leases too. I generally haven't driven a lot for work but with COVID that may be the new norm for others. Lower lease miles = better residual. I chose 5000 miles with a 55% residual on my CT4. Money factor was 0.0027 and wasn't going to...
The "S" in MSRP is suggested. The dealer can sell for whatever they want to. What we're seeing is the Taycan price elasticity slowly shift from Cayenne/Macan to that for a GT3 RS, at least in the near term. This is due to things like chip shortages, growing popularity, Felicity Ace etc.
If...
I have coffee beige with black handles and it's great. Along with gloss black exterior inlays, the black calipers, roof and other black accents already in place, it really cuts the blandness of the lighter colors. But I think it's be great on the mid and darker colors too. I would keep gold...
I never got my email until after it arrived, I signed for the car, and took delivery. The dealer said they wouldn't assign my Porsche ID to the vehicle before this. I don't know if this was normal or not. I had a very quick lock date to delivery period and everything went smoothly so I never...
Add the Premium package for an extra $650, as you're already paying for a chunk of it through individual items.
Also add the 150 KW DC charger for an extra $460.
Where are you leasing it from? Sales Tax seems high, near 10%? IL is 6.25%. Should be on the monthly payment rather than on the total car value for IL I thought.
Also did they include the $7500 tax credit to reduce your cap cost? Doesn't look like it.
Anyway - get the full lease terms. Still...
Looks great to me. If you had a few more $ maybe add some interior trim items like upgraded door sill guards, aluminum pedals etc. all found under "Interior Aluminum". These are low cost options to add that I would have added if I had a do-over.
Maybe under door puddle lights.
No you don't have to repay the $7500 tax credit the leasing co. passed on to you. Consider it as a nice reduction for you to keep. But you have to deal with the bloated lease terms (higher interest rate/MF, full finance cost, dealer add-ons like Permaplate, dealer fees, lease charge etc) on the...
Yeah in many states that's the case. In TX you pay sales tax on the full value of vehicle for a lease. When I was looking at the lease I was told the MF was 0.0027 (6.48%) and that it was standard from PFS. Different vehicles had different lease offers though. 3.03% for a lease is very...
This is definitely an option. The issue is the payoff will include all of the finance charge to my understanding. The pay off would be residual + depreciation + finance charge -7500 - any other cap cost reduction. The finance charge for a lease is calculated on the entire value of the car not...
If he's doing a good job, he's allowed to take the Mrs out for a nice ride, no?
Agree with everyone above. If you're told about it in advance and why it's needed then it's ok. If it's just sitting in his driveway then what's the point? If they didn't tell you at all, then I think that's poor...
I'm on 21's with PZeros for my CT4. I do find it noticeable on some highways, mainly as everything else is pretty quiet. Then on other parts of the highway (not necessarily newer) it's much quieter. The highway surface makes a huge difference. Similar applies to roads but less so because of the...
Agreed. That's how it was described to me. Because of this Hey Siri is better for stuff you'd normally on your phone as the AI on Siri is far superior to Porsche's attempt. However, you can't do certain car functions I assume with Siri. Not until Siri is built natively into PCM.
I paid MSRP for my custom build. I received free Porsche all weather interior mat set. And 2 Porsche dealer leather key chains and 2 pens.
Also received a reasonable deal on my trade in but I wouldn't call it excellent given current market conditions. I think I would have got mats for free...
