Get the full PPF and Ceramic. Your car will be incredibly well protected - not just on the highway but in parking lots etc. And the ability of the car to repel dirt is just incredible. I haven't been able to wash my car for over 6 weeks, and this is what it looks like after a fair amount of...
Yes, Eclipse and Rick Puthoff (owner) is one of the best aftermarket shops I've ever dealt with. Amazing he's done 60 Taycans (I was #1 and he installed a remote Escort Max Ci 360, but I think he's just sticking to films at this point). He did a phenomenal job, and I'll be heading back for a...
Wow! That is one of the best looking interiors I've seen. I especially like the stitching on the seatbacks, and doors, and steering wheel, and console, and dash, and mats... It just looks terrific everywhere! This is the only option I now regret not getting. Probably a bit much to...
As a very rough ballpark, they make 20% of the net profit on a car. If you guess Porsche net profit is around 10%, then they would make about $4K on a Turbo at MSRP.
I'm sure with enough time, effort and $'s that you can convince someone to ship your car BACK to Germany and then specify a list of named ships that you would find acceptable to transport your car. I would guess that this will multiply the cost of the car by an integer factor, and take an...
I've always been of the opinion its better to go upscale where most of the options I want are standard. If this is the case with your build, then fully optioned 4S vs lightly optioned Turbo may be close to a wash if you look at overall cost of ownership. Let's say you spent $30K on 4S options...
I agree on the brakes - much $'s saved for no performance loss. I debadged because I don't like the extra lettering - makes the car cleaner looking and easier to clean.:clap:
I am certainly in the minority here, but I'm planning on keeping my Turbo S for 5-6 years. I've had a V10M5 (one of the first in Ohio) and drove it for over 100K miles, and a Panamera GTS (FIO as well) and drove that over 100K miles, and my Turbo S is one of the FIO as well. I have certainly...
For the most part, once you buy the car, the 'sales' part of the dealership doesn't really care about what you do. Your main contact from then on is the service department.
I always recommend people buy the car wherever they can get the best deal, then take it to their best local dealer for...
I've had white/beige/light gray interiors on my cars and they were all a pain to keep clean, and didn't wear anywhere near as well as my black ones. The Demo car at the Frankfurt auto show had terrible jean stains on the seats - you will have to clean on a regular basis, and then you'll have to...
It's certainly a very subjective decision. I've got the Olea black leather with dark silver trim. For me it's very relaxing, very high quality and very low maintenance. I think it's the best interior I've ever had, including my Panamera GTS with Black/Alcantara which was the best I'd seen. I...
If you plan on keeping the car for a while, then just from an economic standpoint, the Turbo S is a good choice. If you figure the actual cost of the car over time, I think the Turbo S will be pretty close to the Turbo after resale value. I'll bet the Turbo S is more 'desirable' in the...
Absolutely agree. I have had bad wear on my alcantara steering wheels and they just don't feel as good as the leather in the Taycan. This wheel is the best I've seen in any car. Definitely go for the heat - the button is hidden in the bottom spoke - very cool.
Dolomite Silver is an absolutely knock-out color - my no. 2 choice and the most maintenance free and completely safe in terms of whether or not you'll like it. There is a huge risk that the coffee beige won't look like you think, because you just can't tell using the configurator or a small...
