Taycan GFV

I haven’t had a detailed conversation but was told by the business manager at my OPC that for a Turbo specced to £130k he’d just got a quote of something like £85k for two years and relatively low miles for another customer. I can’t remember what the other two were but the Turbo in % terms was the best.

If I take the one I have my name down for it’ll do at least 10k miles a year which I suspect would be ruinous for GFV. I don’t finance my cars normally but would for a Taycan if i follow through on mine....want some kind of protection on residuals.

Same boat as me..I also have a Turbo on order and also specced to £122K which needs the £3.5K Grant taken out of..Unless i could pay for it out of my business or take advantage of the 0% BIK i wouldn't bother buying one and just get a Cayenne instead.
Leasing costs need to be compared to PCP costs over the whole term to see which works out cheaper..Being able to claim 50% of the VAT back admittedly makes the former very attractive as long as the option of ownership at the end is not required.

I looked at this. Although the write down via purchase through the business looks tempting, I think it’s a big risk. Tech is evolving so quickly that the price of these even 2 years down the line is very hard to predict. I’d lease.

I think this will be the issue for most ev's especially high end

Agreed on the tech side as a range of 200 plus miles seems acceptable in the industry, yes batteries will get lighter but i dont think the batteries will get cheaper as recycled lithium isnt good enough for new batteries. It will be the amount of cars they produce will bring the cost down, but that has to be cheaper for it to work. As most cars are purchased on leases then only the monthly figure comes into the equation. but then also another concern in car studies is the lack of charging points available?
