I haven't even figured out how to change my username to taycanfrank and I've had the car for 7 months.I think the biggest question is if you will change your username to crossturismofrank
That's a decent offer, was it at Bellevue?Yes! I received an offer of $112k for my $129k MSRP 4S with about 10k miles. Of course with the tax rebate that's really more of $112k for a 122.5k MSRP, which isn't terrible for 1 year/10k miles.
A different dealership offered me 105, and another 100. 112 feels like a fair number.
That's an outstanding trade-in figure. Usually there's much more first-year depreciation in these cars.Yes! I received an offer of $112k for my $129k MSRP 4S with about 10k miles. Of course with the tax rebate that's really more of $112k for a 122.5k MSRP, which isn't terrible for 1 year/10k miles.

“TaycanFrank” would work either way, and it does not seem to be taken yet. @Administrator can probably explain how to swap out usernames, unless it is impossible in which case it will be Taycan’tFrank.I haven't even figured out how to change my username to taycanfrank and I've had the car for 7 months.
I'm also down to about 50/50 whether I'm doing this. Really want to see one in person first and the dealership is asking for a larger non-refundable deposit than I'm comfortable with unless they offer guarantees on my trade-in. So we'll see.

So, I put down a waitlist deposit for a CT4 today with the intention of trading in my 4S. I thought it might be useful for anyone considering which version to get to hear my logic.
1) Money. IMHO you're getting a lot more value in a well speccd CT4 than you are in a moderately speccd 4S. Depreciation may disagree but I believe the changes + much lower starting price get you a lot. You're coming in at least $15k under a similarly speccd Sedan 4S.
2) Options. There are a few options I'd like to choose differently and I just don't want to dish out the money for a new 4S. Specifically I'll be changing the exterior color, adding leather, adding 18 ways, and adding insulated glass.
3) The hatch + added ground clearance. Honestly these two tweaks, especially the hatch and rear headroom, really make the car significantly more functional. The trunk as is just sucks because of the shape & tiny entrance. Everyone that has a Taycan knows the dreaded "BREEEEEEP" when the trunk fails to close even though there is almost nothing in it.
The ground clearance in Lift right now is juuuust enough for me to feel okay taking it through a shitty ski resort parking lot, the extra 30mm will really help.
4) The extra speed is cool once in a while but really the 4 will be plenty fast enough. In 95% of my driving I find myself only using 2/3rds to 3/4ths of the throttle even when driving aggressively. I know people are addicted to speed, and I was with the 4S for the first month or so, but going from an insanely fast car to a very fast car seems just fine to me. Honestly I'll be excited to actually floor it more often. ?
So really it comes down to wanting to respec my car and believing the CT4 represents much better value.
