Too good to be true?

RELATIVELY Speaking does this price give red flag signals.

Not exactly a main dealer. New would be far more expensive.

I’d imagine getting someone knowledgeable to give it a serious looking over would be advisable. Brought in from the UK… are we a dumping ground for red flag cars?

I don't think so. Those taycans are going seriously cheap over in the UK

It's almost 100k, depreciation on top end stuff is savage. Couldn't really ask much more for a 2 year old car, I can't even see it being quick sale

Where is the red flag?

No longer well up on Porsches. Is this an electric version of a Panamera?

Price drop down to similar to what base model would be.

I’m liking what I’m hearing so far.

The only red flag I see is that your going to loose €50k in the next 3 years

I could only find 2021 Taycans and the drop was approx €25k. Unlikely to drop another €25k in a further year. But, yeah the vast majority of cars depreciate.

Another year, plus more mileage, plus trade in price vs retail price. Sounds like €50k to me .. But your right cars do depreciate

depreciation slows after time.

My last car I bought a demo spec’d at €60k for €48k, kept it 7 years until stolen, the ins co gave me €32.5k.

It doesn't seem to slow with an electric car. There is a 2012 renault fluence electric car in my town. Not sure what's been replaced on it . Who would buy a 13 year old electric car ?

Well if I was in the financial situation where thats all I could afford and it suited my needs well then yeah I would. Thankfully I can afford to drive a newer EV which suits me perfect

Stupid reply . It comes out in you every once in a while

Who would sooner buy a 13 year old electric car over a 13 year old petrol or diesel car ?

So do you think 10+ year old EV’s just get scrapped then or what? Genuinely what do you think happens to them if there are no buyers for them? Why don’t you go have a look at the EV bargains thread for some real life proof of old EV’s being bought & sold?
