Depreciation, I lost money, I’m crying

[bluesky]

Video jumped fine to 10:25 for me. Wow, the center console lid is awkward. And I didn’t know the rear armest / cupholder on Taycan can’t be used as an armrest.

This goes to all depreciation topic haters.

Even the fake click-bite thread is the top thread for how many days now? ?

Love it or hate it, depreciation is like Trump. It carries most of the threads. Without it this website would not have nearly as many clicks…

We are all on the same boat, but lets not bring it up every 5 comments.

So instead let's start yet another thread on the topic?

Cars are depreciating assets. Nothing more to say.

Mine appreciates… I appreciate it more and more every day.

Might buy a Turbo S at a crazy good price. Guys just buy more of what you love and mitigate the pain. Just like GTA online - have a Taycan in every single colour avail.

 

[DGW]

couldn't agree more with the OP!

This is not an investment, never was and never will be, instead I'd love to see posts about offers with great specs, so ready-to-be Taycan owners can take advice from the experienced folks

Company car tax incentives distort car market shocker.

Does this not apply for all things where the Goverment is involved...

Sure it’s not an investment.
But would you go in on the new Turbo GT at MSRP, knowing what we know about Taycan depreciation?

 

[RGBArgee]

The fact that new cars depreciate is not a shocker.

No, the big shocker is how much more Taycan depreciate compared to other Porsche models

Probably because Porsche GB customer care are unhelpful!

If I had the money, sure, it is the best you can buy. It looks sick and the performance is amazing. I would be sick for a day of two that the car lost a full Taycan RWD worth of money in the first few months. After that I would track the hell out of it and enjoy every single mile. I believe all the GT versions of Porsche are keepers, so when you never sell, it never depreciates!

I feel as though driving an electric car is a bit like driving your iPhone, so I'm not surprised that my Taycan would depreciate faster than her gas siblings. I don't know if that's also the case for EVs by other manufactures but I wouldn't be surprised either. Maybe someone can research if this is true across the board or not.

Got a call from my SA today. Porsche launched a $22,500.00 incentive on Taycans. And his dealership is adding $25,000.00 discounts on top. That’s $47,500.00 of the window sticker of a brand new / never titled Taycan.

That’s probably on the outgoing/current model, because you’d have to be mad to pay even 80% of msrp for what will soon be 80% of a new car.

Also goes to show the huge profit margin built into this car.

I remember reading somewhere that Taycans are a loss leader for Porsche.
