Are all Taycan owners buying through a company?

Just wondering if a sizeable number of Taycan ownership is done via company purchase where BIK is low and 100% depreciation in the first year. Not looking at a Taycan for myself but a Macan EV might be on the cards.

Yep, my Porsche dealership said the same and that was the primary buying reason for me.
Not just Porsche either; the BMW dealer next door said almost all of the sales guys had left because the vast majority of new business was the business lease market (personal sales down, corporate sales/lease up).
That said, my Taycan has been the best daily I’ve ever had but probably would never have even considered if not for huge tax breaks to both myself and my company.

It was nice to get the 1st year WDA, but on sale of the car this will be treated as a profit and so the balance will be payable. My plan would be to take it into private ownership in time and when I can get a low enough WDA quote.

The WDA is just one of the perks and so I would consider a 2nd hand purchase. In fact, I did consider a turbo S recently, which looked fantastic in Neptune blue. This colour wasn’t available when I purchased mine.

Porsche new prices have shot up and so that does make 2nd a bit more appealing, compared to the recent years.

We bought one one of the first ones privately 2 1/2 years ago. Dealer had not sold another privately prior to that.

The bids on it to trade in are truly awful, even with sub-20k miles on the clock and by the time it goes back we’ll be lucky if we see £5k above the GFMV.

We’re not replacing it with another and frankly I’d be surprised, especially with finance rates increasing, if many other private buyers did when their terms are up.

Arguably it does make them a bargain second hand purchase if dealers were to charge reasonable margins, but the number on the forecourts suggest few are willing to bite at the prices being asked.

Buying a Taycan through a business makes more sense than buying privately Mainly for the BIK rate.

As an example, my wife's boss has just moved from a Jag F Pace to a Model Y and he's gone from paying almost £10K a year BIK to around £1000. So for those who are fortunate enough to have a Taycan on their company car list it's a bit of a no brainer. It's a Porsche, looks good, you can get the family and the dog in it and it's cheap to run compared to an ICE car.

Personally i think the Macan EV will sell like hot cakes.

It makes sense if you're a contractor and pay yourself through a company - the big incentive being the 100% capital allowance. You can save a serious amount of tax - it helps balances the depreciation.

6 months ago I would say they would be a hot item, but now given the state of the Taycan market I'm not so convinced...

The Taycan is a very good drive, so I’m guessing the financials. I doubt an electric SUV would better it.
Maybe a lot have been bought as a 3 year proposition and we’re getting to the point where people hand them back and buy another EV. This would offset the fact that corporation tax would be payable on the value of the car on disposal.

Agree. It's got the dubious honour of being:

The most recalled car we've ever owned;
The most expensive to run from a depreciation standpoint (beating even Astons and Bentleys);
The only one of our cars to leave us stranded/end up on a breakdown truck for anything other than a puncture in the past 5 years;

MrsLT also refused to use it for long distances due to charging concerns.

Yet, in spite of all the above she still regards it as the best car she'd ever owned.

We PCP'd it in order to limit the downside risk of buying an EV. Increased finance rates make that much less attractive now, so there isn't another one on order to replace it. I suspect even people leasing may do similar as the interest rates will impact lease costs.

An electric Cayenne (or possibly Macan) might have kept her interest in Porsche/EV's if they'd been available (and ideally able to tow a small horse trailer) but she's now decided to go back to another brand until child transport needs are such that she can have a 911.

Am I right - about 350 USED Taycan's on the approved site at the moment? Then a load more new at 0 miles about 540 available today....that's about £54m of stock. Seems a huge number. My two colleagues who have them rave about them but that's a lot of stock floating aorund....
