The lease on my 4s has just expired, I'm ignoring all the concerns around value and cost and pushing ahead with a Taycan Turbo. I recall when i was ordering the 4s 3 years ago there were people on here who could advise which dealers had earlier build slots etc. The market was different then so I'm not even sure if that's still an issue or worth looking around.

Can anyone shed any light?

Not directly though I bet there's a lot less demand at the mo.
Have you seen that Bolton and Chester have received Turbos that they are listing (with actual photos) for sale on the Porsche website? If they're convenient for you, worth trying and for a test drive?

I can only talk about my own experiences in Holland, but I enquired about ordering a Turbo a few weeks ago, and I was surprised I could order one for June delivery. This is very different to my experience in 2022 when I ordered my GTS ST for delivery 12 months later.

I'm fairly relaxed about depreciation, but even I would be hesitant about buying a new Taycan at the moment. I got a trade-in valuation for my GTS ST with 9,500km of €83,000, down from a list price of €160,000 just 10 months ago. That's shocking. Luckily I love the car, so I'm happy to keep driving it. The depreciation only matters when you actually sell it.

I ordered mine back in Feb and it arrives in July. With less demand and fewer parts restriction it seems that shorter leadtimes are returning.
