New member here! Great forum. After 20 years of 911 ownership (air-cooled, turbos, GT3), I decided to try out the future like all of you.
The first choice was this white Taycan Turbo, my dealer GM's demo, which had all the aesthetics inside and out (including sports design package in gloss black). Just gorgeous. My dealer lent this to me for an entire weekend, pre-purchase, to get some real-world experience before buying. My wife loved it as well, which is always a bonus. However, it was missing a few options I wanted; PTV, PDCC, RWS, Electric sound, folding mirrors, and a few others. As it was a demo with about 1k miles on it, I got a significant deal, but at this price level, I was little bummed not to have the performance features listed above, which I can 100% say make a difference in the driving characteristics. My dealer is the best, and he knew I felt this way, so there was/is never any pressure. I was trading in my beloved 991.2 GT3, so I wanted as much "Porsche" in my new Taycan as possible. Anyway, I did the deal on the white one and was super excited to pick it up and drive it home, and did I also mention it looks gorgeous in this mission E dress
.!?
That evening, post-delivery, my dealer called and said that an hour after I left, another gentleman came in, and fire-sold his loaded Taycan Turbo S... that the S has ALL the features I wanted and then some... and before he sent my paperwork in, if I wanted this car instead of white, he would give it to me at the price he paid for it! The only hitch was this other car was black (jet black metallic)! (which was my 2nd color choice)
Well, I drove right back to the dealer with the white one and took the black car for 24 hours to decide what I wanted to do.
I am sure you all know how this story ends. Though I loved the white, how could I keep the Turbo when I can have a Turbo S for "almost" the same price?
Wouldn't you agree?
Either way, we are all fortunate to own such notable works of engineering.
(plus, it's incredible in black too

but at that point the guy at the registration office had probably not received the money I mailed him earlier
