Would you buy a Taycan it’s these marks on the exterior?

It looks like someone used it. As a car. Which is what it's for.

The nice thing about used cars with a bit of wear on them - you don't have to obsess about them as they already have some scars. Just enjoy.

This car is sold private, I can get it for 60 000 usd. It has bigger battery and more options. 63000 km driven.

would you have taken it?

How come a US car has km as ‘mileage’

is it US or Europe? Just wondering?

Would you buy a Taycan it’s these marks on the exterior?

How much would you assume the cost of fixing it?

not sure if it is a dealbreaker for me or if it’s acceptable marks

The fact that your posting it bothers u “enough”

No.

But…

Garages were made for cars to sit in. ?

Tell that to my subdivision neighbors whose cars are always in their driveways!
(Or should I ask them what's in their garages...?)

Maybe they have more cars than garage? I have one in the driveway. ?

Okay, our household is guilty of that!
But all the houses have two-car garages yet all the households (except ours) have only two cars.

I have a 3 car garage and 3 cars…but my wife thinks she needs two spaces to park. So, there we are. It does let me pull in the single side kind of diagonal so there’s room to open the doors on both sides, so not all bad.

My sister and aunt are both bad about filling their garage with I don’t know what and then having to park vehicles outside. I don’t understand it personally. But whatever floats their boat.

Exterior is zero concern whatsoever. It’s a car it’s meant to have some small scratches. You will never see any of those unless you are washing the car. The interior is hard to tell but I wouldn’t want anything with noticeable interior damage.

The seat can be repaired. Leather can be sanded, filled, resprayed and that damage is minimal. Stone chips can be handled yourself. Tiny touch of paint, let it dry, fill the chip with clear lacquer. Let it properly dry, fine wet and dry and polish. Pretty much invisible. The longer scratch, if it catches your fingernail it’s through the gloss coat and probably needs a respray.

I’m new to Taycan world but there have been issues. A lot of 3yr leases ending, plus lemon law cars going into the approved network.

It’s a buyers market. You can be very fussy - IMHO when these cars approach battery warranty expiry they’ll be incredibly cheap if you’re willing to roll the dice….

The popular thinking is gen2 cars will be far more resilient.
