Pulled the trigger: 2020 Taycan Turbo

[noev]

..and very excited! Current stable is a Range Rover, 2 air-cooled 911s, and a 992 C4S Coupe. One of the air-cooled cars is on its way out soon.

I’d thought about ordering new but couldn’t pass up the great deals on Turbos right now. Here are the specs:

CWM/Slate Grey
20” Turbo Aero wheels
Performance package
Bunch of other goodies.
New MSRP was $170K, about $180K if i were to spec the same car in a ‘23.
14K miles and CPO.

I paid $105K.

I’d love to hear about any tips & tricks & accessories you like! I’m definitely considering upgrading to 21s but candidly the white with turbo bodywork and 20” Aeros has this very elegant look that I think suits the car really well.

Great deal for a wonderful car. You won't be disappointed.

Great choice of color. You'll have a fantastic summer driving it around California!

Nice stable, broad variation in experiences there. Enjoy!

Great looking car - congratulations on a good deal!

If you're looking into new wheels give the Mission-e ones a look. I think they're distinctive as hell.

I'm considering it but haven't found an alternative to spending $8-9K for a set at Suncoast!

Shouldn't be too difficult to find used ones here or in your local Craigslist/FB Marketplace, unless you're only interested in brand new ones.

Let me add that if you find Mission-e's that have some damage they can be repaired and repainted for probably $300/wheel. When I curb my wheels (not recently thank God), that's what it takes, and after the repair they look new. Used wheels might be much cheaper...

Are Turbos generally on sale right now?
I have a 992 GTS and was thinking about picking up a Turbo to complement. Would be interested in your initial thoughts against the C4S.

I’m really hoping I love the C4S after getting this car I’d love to have both.

Yes I’ve been hearing about many dealerships that have Turbos that are just sitting. Many are losing money on them as the market seems to have adjusted down since they took them in.

Porsche San Diego? They've had a very similar car for a while now.

Yep. Been there for a long long time.

Fun. I bought a Taycan in San Diego, and drove it home to the Bay Area as well.

Very cool. That would have been my plan as well but we just had a baby a few weeks ago and so I decided to buy sight unseen and have the car shipped. Left SD yesterday and should be up here my Noon today.
