I can’t believe anyone would be stupid enough to pay for a new gen 2 turbo s given what we now know about how it will depreciate (unless of course you’ve got more money than sense). £180k for a specced gen 2 which admittedly will give you an extra 60-100 miles of range and a 0.4 increase to 60 -...

Unfortunately it’s seems they don’t care, as some dealers are now showing 11.3% APR - crazy.

This is what happens when the interest rates are at stupidly high levels, even Porsche owners don’t want to pay 10.3% APR!

Anyone expecting a Carmine Red Taycan (I couldn’t see what one it was) from Cambridge? I’ve just seen it being tested with all its stickers on, on the A10 - looked the nuts!

Same. So I delayed my build, as although you can get a better rate elsewhere the GFV is lower. I’m not paying that interest rate. I’ll revisit the rates in September, bought a new M4 comp in the meantime as BMW’s rates on new cars is 4.9%.

Yes, if the company buys the car and those are your figures then those corporation tax “losses” will be carried forward to the next year (and yes I am an accountant!)

And yet less than a year ago it was 5.9% with Porsche. So they subsidised their finance rates last year according to your logic? So why will any of us have to wait a long time when it’s only recently they’ve upped their rates, shamelessly taking advantage of their customers? This time next year...

Really? Is that why there’s so many cancelled orders and so many second hand Porsches to buy? Maybe have a look at the market before you comment, just a thought. I don’t know what the waiting list is on an SL, so I can’t tell you. But I’m sure you’re going to tell me as you seem to know everything.

I’ve already had 2 Taycans my friend, but thanks for your input, you’ve been most helpful.

Mercedes will lend at 5.9% on a brand new, just released, £160K SL. You can buy any BMW M car at 5.9%.l. Why are Porsche not doing that? Plus I believe you’ve missed the point of the thread,I originally asked if anyone hears any changes from their dealers to kindly post in here. I don’t believe...

If you can show me a lender who is offering 5.9% then by all means share your wisdom.

The point being is that it was 5.9% at point of order, plus if other high end manufacturers are offering 5.9% today then why aren’t Porsche? It’s a disgraceful way to fleece their customer base.

Exactly that! Seeing the new Merc SL at that APR was what prompted me to post - I’m so annoyed by it all. I worked out it will be an extra £500 odd a month - I am not paying that, no way - it’s pure greed. I’ve noticed so many cancelled orders on the Porsche website too, today I found a brand...

Currently Porsche are stealing a living with 10.9%, which I believe will go up to 11.9% from 1st April, on new cars. A quick search around shows Audi and VW are also theiving with their rates (hardly surprising as all VAG) - however Mercedes and BMW are currently 5.9%. Anyone else hacked off...

100%, I’ll be cancelling my order if I can’t have Bose, that’s ridiculous.

Chester. And the saloon. I was told in July I was 6th in the queue and looking at a June 23 build. Now I’m 9th (?!) and looking at an Oct/Nov 23 build. Not going to get annoyed about it, even if there’s some reallocations at the dealer to priorise different customers or if I was just given an...

Just been told by my dealer that having ordered April this year (Taycan GTS) that it’s going to be another 12 months before I even get a build slot. Most annoying - but what can you do 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ve clocked those GTS’s as well; I think there’s another gone on the market today (a black one) - I think it’s £150k odd, which is well over list and it has been a demonstrator by the look of it. Who in their right mind would pay over list, what a complete waste of money!

I can validate this, had the update done on my 4S a few weeks ago and I’m getting about 15 miles more than before. Plus the new coloured buttons & parking sensor bings are much better 🤣

Yes, if you buy another one in 3 years time - and assuming the rules are the same - then yes it will offset against the adjustment that will be made on the sale of your current one. It’s a big if though, as I would not expect the rules to be the same in 2025 as they are now, so don’t hold your...
