Is $157K MSRP too much for 4S

[squiresGT3]

I’m planning to place my 4S order within couple weeks. My build is $157K is it too much for 4S ? I’m plan to keep the car for 5-6 years and replace it with new taycan in future. Would you consider new Tesla S compare to taycan for trade in value ? I heard porsche owners will not want used taycan?

here is my build

Mine came in at 175k (canadian) if your at 157 USD we will have a similar spec

It is on the high side, very similar to mine, although I did not opt for 21" wheels and got a few other options instead. As long as you accept going in that you won't get credit for many of these options on resale, it's fine.

Mine's the equivalent of about 170k USD.

I didn't want to pick it up and regret not ticking a few boxes.

I think over 155-160, I'd go for the Turbo. You're on the cusp. Also, keep in mind discounts might be higher for the Turbo (depending on the dealership). Try to price out the Turbo and see what the delta is.

My 4S build comes in at about $10K less than yours and I was trying to figure out where the big difference was since we both spec'd PCCB's, Mission E wheels and some other similar items.

You opted for the full Premium package while I went ala carte on some of those options but OTOH I went for the full Performance package while you picked only some things so that was pretty much a wash price wise.

Then I noticed that you've ordered the Sport Design package and that's almost the entire difference right there. $9560 for those exterior trim bits with some CF seems very expensive to me but obviously that's your decision.

As for resale, I have no idea how the Taycan will compare to the model S in the future. I will just say that, in terms of future Porsche buyers in particular, performance options like PDCC and PTV+ might be more important than a cosmetic option like the Design Package, but that's just how I would feel about it and is totally subjective on my part.

FWIW, I spec'd a Turbo and a 4S with the options I wanted as close to each other as I reasonably could and the difference was pretty close to $25K.

Regardless, yours will be a very nice car. Good luck with your choices.

For my turbo build will price around $177K so basically $20K more than my 4S build. I’m in L.A. I’m not sure which dealer will give me big discount for 4S or either turbo

Yeah those PDCC and PTV+ might be better for daily use. ...I’m still on the fence if those CF sport design will make the car look better ..I own a GT3 touring so I want my taycan to look sporty and match to my GT3.

If you're okay with doing the LA Experience Center pickup, you can literally order from ant dealership. DM me if you want me to loop you in with a dealership that can get you great deal.

The problem with spec’ing a turbo compared to a higher end 4S is that most of the options people like me select on the 4S aren’t even standard on the turbo. You’re still paying for premium package, pretty much all performance options, mission E wheels, power mirrors, charging options. The only thing you really get is the performance battery and full leather to start you off...

Just got mine...the wheels and breaks take it to nearly turbo levels....if you absolutely need it, do it, but those won’t carry over in resale especially in 5 years.

Agreed. That's ultimately why I went with a quite fully optioned 4S, even though it's the opposite of what I have historically done when purchasing cars.

Here is updated 4S build
http://www.porsche-code.com/PMM95BI6

All CF parts been removed .. now I’m at $146K for 4S ...and 176K for Tubo

I’m not sure the $30K different will worth the upgrade.

Unless you are going to track the car, I see no reason for the PCCB brakes. Save yourself like $4-5K and just get the coated brakes. I don’t understand why people remove the name from the back unless you don’t want people to know you have a 4S.
