Well, in that case they should give a residuals benefit to the Porsche PPF option if configured on finance but as they don’t, its not being paid for by me to give them a factory fresh car back to sell (don’t take me the wrong way, I fully intend to look after it within reason).
Until I got interested in Taycan (1st Porsche) and joined this forum, I had no idea how many things you could pay for to have added to a car. As one person asking for opinions on options posted here, you guys are making me spend a lot of money on options I didn't know I needed.
It's not only heavy traffic areas. I had a windshield take some good damage driving on a 2-lane back road. ANY debris in the air/ground you're vehicle is driving through will impact.
General rule is add at least 20% to base MSRP of a Porsche for options.Until I got interested in Taycan (1st Porsche) and joined this forum, I had no idea how many things you could pay for to have added to a car.

FWIW, my brother-in-law, who used to own a Porsche repair and racing shop, raced the, and is the owner of multiple Porsches, regrets getting front PPF only. Not for rock and chip protection, but for the ease of care and overall protection from insect acid, bird acid, tree tar, and Redwood stains, etc. The PPF portions of his cars look great and are easily maintained (just power wash it). The rest of the car is a lot of work to maintain (from clay to polish), and begins to show it without constant vigilance.
for deep cleaning and polishing every quarter.
I think ceramic is a good option for making the car easier to clean. I went with front PPF only and ceramic on the whole car (including wheels). It barely gets dirty and washing it is a breeze. 6-7 minutes and I’m done. And ceramic is much less expensive than full PPF.
Shouldn’t be. I’ve never heard of that. In fact, the dealer will probably try to sell it to you themselves.
This is absolutely true, they've already mentioned it to me. However, I ordered the front PPF from Porsche so ha
I likely will have the entire car ceramic coated.
I highly recommend it. I’ve had several cars PPF’d before, but the Tayan is the first one I’ve ceramic coated. I’ll probably ceramic coat every car going forward (unless something better comes out). It’s honestly fantastic.
You're obviously referring to the extensive PPF wrap. I've got it on my car and after 7K track miles, the paint is in pristine condition. (Other than a few body panels that had to be replaced... ha ha).If your Porsche doesn’t look like this you are not driving it properly.
Anybody that believes they have driven their cars for 50+ years and several hundred thousand miles without any damage from road debris either doesn't ever exceed 30 mph or has very bad eyesight, or as you say - couldn't care less. The above statements are just ridiculous, and have no benefit in informing people on choices to install PPF or not. Let people who have owned and driven Porsches and have used PPF give their informed opinions.
Absolutely. I’m taking a YOLO stance with this car - optioned Carmine red Turbo S - so will go the distance with PPF and ceramic. The
is already broken
