My advice is this. You only buy a new Porsche once in a great while (or once) and since there is no practical reason to own one, and much cheaper ways to get transportation, it is a dream car and you should build the one you want. So get the 4S with the options you want on the base model. If you are really limited to a certain budget ("I only can afford $110,000!!") or the resale value REALLY matters to your financial future, you should probably buy a different car, or wait a few years for a used Taycan.
True statement. BTW, I used to live in Royal oak. Greetings! :fist bump:

Royal Oak is changing a LOT. Tons of construction and tall buildings, and if you haven't been there for a few years, you might not recognize it. More like Birmingham than Ferndale now (not a good thing IMO!)

My $0.02. There's no such thing as "don't need more power". I test drove the 4S and was blown away, so I got the 4S. Now after 6 months I start wondering how much faster the Turbo and Turbo S are. We grow used to performance.....I will always chose a naked more powerful machine to a super spec'd lower HP machine. But again, just my $0.02.

I hope you won't have to wait too long. BUT....any wait will be worth it. The Taycan is out of this world. I have driven and owned so many amazing ICE cars before, but every single day it puts a big grin on my face and I truly feel privileged to own one......

Congratulations!!!!

I don;t understand Polish language (even my ancestors came from Poland more than 500 years ago), so I was not able to compare your specs. I thought that you have to decide between RWD with lots of options and base 4S…

@B61 This was original plan, but ... everything has change. As always the budget has been broken and we go for 4S with good spec (not the best one) but in my opinion very good. I am only missing Mission E wheels, but it's almost 7700 USD (with gold paint). So in my opinion - too much.

Understood, but you didn;t ask if you should go beyond budget :giggle:
btw: now, you just need to update your profile from RWD to 4S ;)
(i think that you’ll miss olea leather more than e-wheels)

What did Whitmer do? All I can see is that the roads are finally getting fixed, everywhere, and at a pretty incredible pace. Pretty much everything is under construction at the same time, which can be a PITA. The economy here is doing great, house prices are up, and there are more jobs than people to fill them.
