Hey all,
I've been going through relevant threads, and this community has been super insightful to get me thinking about the best build specification for my needs.
I have a build slot for May, so need to finalise the build spec mid-April.
Due to the business benefits of running an electric car from the UK government, I've decided to get an entry-level Porsche Taycan. I plan to keep the car after 3 years, so I'm exploring the best financing deal PCP or BCH. PCP financially makes sense, as I can sell the car, or use the equity to get another car; however, this remains to be decided.
My needs:
Parking is my biggest issue. I have to get through an extremely narrow and tight right turn to get to the back of my home to park. Using an Audi A5 coupé, it takes a couple of manoeuvres to make the turn. Once I can get a test drive, I'll see if the Taycan can fit.
If I can park the car at the back in my garage, I will get a charge point installed. Do I need to get additional cables for charging at home?
I need help to figure the best options for the build with a £10,000 budget, with a desirable package to sell in 3 years time.
Here's my current configuration: http://www.porsche-code.com/PM45TVB9
Must-have options, based on my needs:
Desirable options, if any of the above isn't necessary:
Thanks in advance.

PCP financially makes sense, as I can sell the car, or use the equity to get another car; however, this remains to be decided.
My needs:
- Driving this car around town (London, UK), occasionally on the motorway (100+ miles roundtrips) and B-roads
- Parking the Taycan at home could be difficult
- Porsche driving experience
- Sell the car after 3 years
