Done it - 4S CT J1.1 swapped for 4S ST J1.2

[W1NGE]

Yep, considered that one. Great spec and price.
However, I wanted roof rails or bike prep and also RAS.
Also, I needed new or demo for corp tax purposes. (Can't recall though if this one was privately owned - I looked at so many online.)
It also had the smaller battery.

Actually, it has the PB+ and I suspect was a demo (config listing). My neighbour upgraded his 3 yr old 4S CT about 6 weeks ago for a shade green 4S ST J1.2 and had very similar mileage to this car - sourced from Perth also marked down around £30K but does not have PAR.

Aside from anything else it has to be a huge worry that even J1.2s are falling off the cliff in a few short months. Bargains potentially a plenty.

I've had RAS on 2 Taycans now and convinced myself that it is a 'must have' but actually PVT+ and PAR are probably the most desirable of the options in this category and after 4 years of RAS I think I was probably wrong.

4S ST didn’t exist in J1.1 generation right?

Wrong

Glasgow has a demo loaded MY25 4S ST with PAR - £89K , 4.5K miles, £40K mark down on new (scary or what??).

Unbelievable!! The additional range is almost as impressive as the depreciation.

Interestingly the WBAC price on this is 5k less than my 73 J.1.1 GTS ST with 11,000 miles on…. That I bought for far less than that price too

WBAC is a non authoraitive source of actual value / pricing particularly for EVs imho.

I think that *might* have been the case in the US, but in Europe ST was available across the range eventually IIRC.

There was no 4 on J1.1 Sport Turismo. It had RWD, 4S, GTS, Turbo and Turbo S.

I have been searching for a 2022/2023 4s Sport Turismo in the US. I didn't see any at all. Only GTSs were on Sport Turismo?

Thanks for this thread, I just got my second J1 CT and my third overall J1. This one is a Turbo S CT. It’s on a 12 month brand new lease, will follow your feedback… been wanting to go to a GTS Wagon … I want to experience active drive as the quality of the drive matters significantly to me due to back / disc issues. Love the 18-ways that are in my Turbo S Ct and in my Touring.

Yeah only 4CT.

Taycan 4 is being discontinued on J1.2.

The only Sport turismo brought to the US is the GTS, otherwise you have to opt for a cross Turismo in the other trim lines for a wagon body. This continue for the J.2 revision as well.

Agreed; but still alarming! Motorway (£64k j1.1 GTS / £57k j1.2 4S) and all others claim the same.

Good to know
And the wheels do look so much better

GTS wheels are

 

[W1NGE]

GTS wheels are

They are but not range friendly.

These are RS Spyders and not the standard GTS wheels.

Also nice when two tone.

Yes the GTS version of the spyder wheel is as gorgeous as the gloss and machined version for other models is "meh" to my eye.
Just like the turbo aeros, they look great on the GTS and not normally (IMO of course)

I've had a loan gen 2 for a few days, it's on 20" wheels the ride is very different to my gen 1 on 21" but i agree the looks of the 21" are worth sacrificing a little harsher ride, in terms of range I got nearly 100 miles more, on the same journey. thats probably a little also do to with the wheel size so lets say 80 miles - that's a big difference.
