maybe ? They also want to go upmarket and charge a lot more with PTS and Cxx and expand those customization programs for the high rollers.

you didn’t read their press release. They’re a publicly traded company now, and they wanted all their shareholders to know they plan to increase average profit margins across all lines to 20%. Oh, and extra on the EV. Yes, it’s on their website. Buckle up. Prices will rise until demand...

TL;DR the central banks WANT it to be a shitty time to make new large purchases in order to slow inflation

It’s unfortunate but interest rates are going up and have been for a year. it’s a rough time to buy an expensive new car. 10% doesn’t sound competitive. 6.5% is more like it (for the best credit ratings). Still a lot more expensive than a year-ish ago were 1.9% was possible Unfortunately...

TL;DR supply can’t keep up with demand, so raising prices is a natural response. Porsche‘s ability to increase production is much much more limited. They’re running the factory lines as hard as they can. Building new factories costs billions and takes years.

didn’t say you couldn’t. But if the national dealer doesn’t have a lonely allocation without a local customer right now, your deposit for their waitlist isn’t likely to help all that much without a relationship. You’re going to be at the bottom of the list compared to any local customer unless...

If there are more customers than cars, somebody has to lose. Dealers generally prioritize long term customers by the amount of business they’ve done, local customers who may service their vehicle, and of course ADM. That doesn’t mean you always get what you want. The VIPs in major...

For a not-EV, the Porsche ceramics have a nicer feel and stronger initial bite than the steel. Like “less dust” it doesn’t effect performance and is a matter of personal preference. Some folks don’t like a quick bite near the top. Of course, this is pretty irrelevant to the blended EV braking.

of course they know. Folks have done this on YouTube. Results are exactly what you expect. Same stopping distance until steel heat fades.

In CA, you can walk away any time before delivery and get a full refund. However, if you wish to do business with that dealer again you might negotiate a compromise. I'm not sure what you're worried about. Your dealer will be able to tell you if you get a MY22 allocation slot or not. Just...

the residual is bad. < 50% for 3 years. But probably fair. the rate is a complete scam. 5-6%. Easily 3x higher than buying. If you can’t offset this is mega tax savings, it’s just an awful deal. Porsche leases are universally terrible.

this is normal in the sense that you are waiting on your dealer to get a build slot from Porsche and then to give that to you instead of someone else on their waiting list. you don’t have an order, you have a wait list position. You can ask your SA for an update. I wouldn’t pester them...

yes, even without the optional performance upgrades there is a huge difference between the drive modes. It effects the shift map for the gearing and the brutality of the accelerator and the performance of the air suspension. range will be much softer and more efficient. Sedan like. if you...

lol. Well your dealer owes you and can spin a sad story to PAG to get you some consideration. I’m honestly not sure what the wait list is like for a new customer. I’ve heard conflicting things. Like 12+ months, but I also see new taycan on the lot now. There appear to be some looking for...

I suspect it’s on your dealer to make this right, possibly by calling in a favor with PAG (if they have any). If it’s completely foobar, however, it shouldn’t be especially delayed. 4S allocations don’t seem all that difficult to get, so it shouldn’t be delayed more than a couple months (yeah...

the passenger display is a ridiculous waste of money bose is fine. The car is insanely quiet. I’m not a fan of the carbon fiber trim. Feels over done. agree the Porsche crest looks better than the model trim on the seats you can probably live without pdcc the partial leather standard...

Deposit refund ability varies drastically from jurisdiction to jurisdictio. In CA, until i hand over the check for remaining balance and the dealer gives me the keys, I can walk away and demand a full refund at any time for no reason. however, a lot of good dealers will let you cancel with...

The challenge is you’re not dealing with Porsche but instead your dealership. The experience varies from 0-100. You can call Porsche directly but for the most part they don’t actively circumvent your dealer or do much proactive communication. you should lean on your SA or their boss. If the...

The auto manufacturers will radically cut back production numbers. They aren’t going to flood the market next year and prices absolutely won’t drop 50% now for the cars already stranded on dealer lots RIGHT NOW you are likely to be able to get some great deals in a few months. There are still...

fwiw, i really don’t think the 84 month terms at higher rates are worth it. You’ll pay twice as much in total interest for that extra 2 years, it only saves about $300 a month because the rates are much higher, and you’d still be paying off this car when gen 2 is introduced. If one needed this...
