How much?!

[SteveGTS]

I've been looking for an ST GTS on the Porsche website for a while and today an ex demo has come up, £149,000. It's pretty much the same spec I've ordered which is £25-30k less. That is an impressive markup!

Welcome to the “supply and demand” markup madness

I looked at this one too .

Hopefully these prices hold which will help with residuals and partially offset the price increases and rising interest rates.

The prices are crazy, but I was prepared to pay extra to have the car a year early...but sadly the business 100% capital allowances only apply to new vehicles so I'm stuck waiting

The dealers are making some great money on these shortages, can't blame them really. got to make hay because tough times might be coming

Check with your accountant, but I would have thought if you buy AND sell the car in the same financial year, you won't need to write off anything against corporation tax as it will just be in your P&L as either a loss (pay no corp tax) or a profit if it sells for more (you pay corp tax on the gain).

The 18% second hand or 100% brand new rule applies where the car is still owned by the business at the end of the financial year... I think.

No expert, and accounting for EVs confuses even experienced accountants: so check with your accountant!

It also looks (in two pictures!) like there's a big crack in the roof on that one....

Certainly does!

Good spot! Seems from reading up on here recently a fair few are having issues with cracked panoramic roofs...that's pretty much unacceptable from Porsche. Luckily I did not spec the panoramic roof but I do feel for those who are suffering from this issue as for a car in excess of 100K it should not be happening.

Yup! Good catch! What do you guys think of that color?

I could live with it if it was £25k cheaper!

I have seen a GTS Saloon in cherry, in-person and in bright sunlight.

It was absolutely stunning.

However, I personally wouldn't choose it as I want a brighter colour for my ST. I also feel darker colours suit the saloon better than that big butt of the ST.

Cherry is very "regal" though might look subdued or too dark in low light.

Best thing to do is see it in-person at your nearest dealer.

Yes I agree. Looks stunning!! I'm not sure I would pick it for the GTS but I do like it a lot. Very regal and sophisticated indeed.

It’s all a bit dark - Crayon GTS interior would be nice!
About the roof it maybe that’s why it’s £150k, it’s got the new optional “opening“ pan roof

Also, it has rear-seat entertainment preparation option. First time I've seen that on a Taycan.

I found this at Porsche Leeds. Not as highly specced as the ST I'm waiting on at £87k but look at the mark-up!
