Spend about £40-£50k.
What s the expected depreciation curve like per year for one of these.
Alternative would be a M5 Comp 2021.

Dread to think how much a nicely optioned one of those would have cost new.
I’ve also looked recently at the same but opted for a lease due to other circumstances.
These MUST be near their bottom? Most owners swear by them. The only fault / hindrance I think is the servicing costs going forward will be double what people usually pay for cars in that ‘bracket’ (M5, RS6, RRS, etc)

They've got to the shallower part of the curve but based on Panamera prices I'd guess will still lose another £5k a year until the battery warranty runs out (8 years, 100k miles). At that point who knows what they'll be worth?These MUST be near their bottom? Most owners swear by them.

Refurbished Taycan batteries with low miles and 98%+ battery 'health' cost less than £8k.Still a chunk of money but nothing like the '£45k' for a battery replacement being toted around

Have a look at the Taycan threads on here. Some of the reliability issues are truly frightening.
Not seen this, do you mind linking the thread so I can have a read? Ta!And: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
Ah, it was on SELOC, you'd need to sign up/in to veiw but as examples on that chat :
"A friend of mine bought a used Turbo S model (£170k new) for around £70k 18 months ago. He kept it around 12 months. In that time, he must have spent upwards of £10k on it!!! Suspension problems, charging problems, ECU issues to name just a few. Each time it went in to Porsche with a problem, they found other problems. He did have warranty but it didn't cover the Porsche labour charges so he had to make up the difference.
As someone has said above, if you get one make sure you get Porsche warranty as it will save you a lot of arguments down the line when something goes wrong. He sold it for £56k so had his pants down during ownership of the car and then lost another £14k when he got rid of it."
And
"My neigbour has a Turbo S - £180k worth but.....he reckons he's getting a new car by 'triggers broom'ing it - it has been repaired so much. He runs it under warranty and doesnt really care but I know he wouldn't run it out of warranty. Its his lease company car so he'll just hand it back when the warranty is out - I dare say it will be worth about £50 out of warranty!"
General advice seems to be is to only buy with a warranty, the best one you can afford.

I've spent way too much time looking at Taycans in this price range. I've finally talked myself out of it. As discussed they are too scary to run out of warranty and any problems are going to be dealer only. They had a big problem with heater failures and parts not being available. Anecdotally Turbo S seems to be the least reliable.
Spec on these as usual with Porsche is miserly as standard. Very few of them have adaptive cruise for example. May not be important to you but after having it I wouldn't buy another car without this.
What you want is a Turbo or 4S that has been specced by someone with taste and little care for depreciation. These do exist but are rare. Many were punted out on lease deals with minimal spec because they were very attractive to run through a company.

Go do it.
You only live once and you will only talk your self out of it. And will never know...
Same with any expensive car, Get them with a warranty. Most main dealers give a year or two as standard even on 2nd hand cars now.
I bought my dream car a year ago, Yes everyone said don't do it. Everyone on the internet said they were crap, Always breaking down and rubbish service.
I'd love to say its been perfect driving but yes, something did go wrong, A sensor went and they booked it in and I sat in the office on work calls and they changed it free of charge. But would I call it rubbish and always complain? No its normal that things go wrong on a car these days with thousands of parts.
I was very glad of the warranty though as when I looked up the sensor price, it was only £36 it came to £700 fitted on the invoice that was sent off to Land Rover

I think the issue is whilst I agree 8k is considerably better than 45k I do wonder how many people will even want to throw 8k at the car by the time it's 8 years old or more and I imagine the technology will have moved on significantly by that point.
