Just interested In this because I’d seen a few threads where 4s owners were upgrade to a Turbo or Turbo S relatively soon (I.e. within 6 months) after buying their 4s:
What sort of trade-in prices are you getting from the dealer? Or to put it another way - what sort of financial hit are you taking for swapping the car out that early?

Not the UK. From my trial at this, the hit looks to be $20,000-$25,000 to go from a 2020 to 2021. Less if into a 2020 as the dealer with negotiate.

The price difference between the 4S and Turbo is at least $50,000, add on at least $15-20,000 depreciation hit and doesn't sound like much of an "upgrade" to me for 1 second faster 0-60mph and less range. I'm happily sticking with my 3.4 second 0-60mph Taycan 4S that gets 275+ miles of useable highway range, and considering using the saved dollars on a Rivian SUV.

I upgrade my 4S to a Turbo S within a month after getting it. Lost around €25k doing that but I didn’t care. I wanted the fastest one.

This is about what I was being quoted as well. It's quite the hit.

I just read a report of the new Bugatti 1600-hp special edition that costs $9.6 million, your Turbo S is just as fast from 0-60. Article quoted 2.4 seconds for the Bugatti Centodieci, only 10 of which will be produced. Exclusivity comes at pretty steep prices these days. Most important thing is to enjoy your purchase and not have buyers remorse from the financial hit. Happy and safe motoring Taycan owners!
