Porsche Taycan

I brought one in from NI , a bit better value compared to here. UK was looking a bit more expensive when you factor everything in

My insurance renewal quote on my Taycan has jumped from 700 to 1000 this year, despite no difference in circumstances or NCB.

I've tried various online quotes and most just refuse to offer a quote at all. Has anyone had luck with particular insurers for their Taycan? I'm with 123.ie who happened to be my insurer before I bought the Taycan, and I did have trouble finding alternative quotes previously too but I was never too bothered as I was getting a good price anyway.

Porsche profits have tumbled and they recently announced a loss for the first time in years.
the move to EV was a mistake for them they have admitted and they are apparently re engineering the macan to accept a petrol hybrid system as well as the new boxster/cayman which were to have been all electric.

Good value there for a car with that performance

what did you go for after the Taycan?

what’s the worst that could happen when taycan go sub €50k …. Or is it best just stay away from older Taycans no matter what the price and go with an etron if an EV sports car tickles your fancy?

Only €46k now..

Warranty extension is 1350 ish per year on a 23 car, maybe more on older but can extend for 3 years for about 3.5k as there's a discount.

RWD model, 4s might be more.

Unlimited Mileage warranty - and Porsche assistance is another optional add on too. I think you need to own the car for 90 days at least before you can get the 111 point check with Porsche, for them to give you the warranty. Big risk buying these cars without cover. They're so tempting now after the depreciation, even the Etron GT but there's no option to extend a warranty with Audi unfortunately, and if anything big or catastrophic goes in them, you're goosed 😊

Extended the warranty on my own 2023 car for two years as its up in January. 2,470 for two years, no 111 point check once still in warranty but agree with the the points about buying one out of warranty is risky business, the flip side is battery issues should be easily identifiable so if no issues there there's alot less else to go wrong than an ice car.

The warranty is extendable up to 12 years or 160k km I was told.

Yes, but the extended warranty would presumably cover all other aspects of the car as well

Full drivetrain incl. motors would normally be included in the 8yr warranty, but yeah it's the fiddly stuff that's more likely to bring the ownership experience down rapidly. The battery and motors would be the least of my concerns.
