Resale Value: Almost-New 2021 Mamba Green Taycan Turbo

[amelen]

Not sure if I'm going to sell it just yet - but since getting the car, I haven't really used it since I had a change in personal circumstances. If I'll be moving back and using it is still a toss up, but just thought I'd get a general consensus on what the resale value would be like. I know I'll take a loss on it if selling, but just eye balling the market.

It's still a seller's market so you might get more than you think.

Best of luck!

Yeah, that's the only reason I'm even entertaining this lol I haven't used the car for 3mo now, and most likely won't for a while more. The choice is to keep it anyway, or to sell it for now and re-buy something when if/when I need it.

Nice spec. In the market for a 4S so this is a little above my price range or I would've made an offer! Shouldn't have a problem getting a decent price but would think 10 to 15% hit is likely.

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to eye-ball. 10% hit I'd do without hesitation. 15%+ I'd probably keep it for now.

I think -15% and -$7500 (federal tax credit) is fair so $133k.
The 15% really depends on how much inventory nearby dealers have and how much demand exists in your are. If there are no more Taycans in their lots then you can sell for more.

You can also ask a dealer to give you a trade-in quote. Then you can assume private sale will be about 5k more.

Thanks. Re-Trade in, I don't need an extra car right now, so doesn't make as much sense. Or I guess you're saying just to get an estimate for a selling price?

Might get more if it's marked CPO? How does that work anyway? Do you have to pay for that sort of thing?

Trade-in as just "trade-in" without buying another car
I have sold almost-new used cars to dealers before without buying anything from them. Sometimes it is the easiest way to sell an expensive almost-new car.

Dealership pays $ to have a call CPO-ed. However, the car is so new, that the new-car warranty is still almost-4-years. Not sure how much value CPO would add, but worth a thought.

Makes sense, it being so new. Sent you a pm.

What boxes do you have checked on it? NM, overlooked your Porsche code twice lol

CPO adds 2 years and unlimited miles coverage after the expiration of the new vehicle warranty. The original warranty for my 2020 Taycan expired in September 2024, but since I bought it CPO, it now expires in September 2026.

@amelen Why -10% or even more??
having in mind the fact that there’s a “waiting line” for up to 8 months…. I believe that in the whole States, there must be “one” who’d pay full price.

Maybe, it's a big price though - it's not the same as selling a $40k car. But I agree, that's why I posted, to try to get a gauge for it. MSRP to -10% would make enough sense for me to sell and re-buy something when I need an extra car (which might not be for a year at this point).
