Don’t own one but drove one this week, unreal just unreal! The range when I got into it was just over 300, with me running around for 20 mins or so pushing it on
here & there it didn’t drop below 280. Made me want to go electric!

The way Colin, the owner put it to me, if you treat it like a mobile phone & charge it every night then you won’t have a problem!Thanks, my wife doesn’t think I could cope with the range anxiety.
They are lovely looking cars and for some reason have dropped like a stone in price.

All EVs have. People don't want them 2nd hand.

They all do at low speeds. Otherwise people just walk out in front of you. Our first Etron was silent and it was hectic for people just dandering about in front of it. I was fine blasting the horn, Mrs Coog was far too polite and would follow along behind them for ages!

Years time it'll have lost another fortune.

The prices just keep dropping. I wouldn't bother with an EV until the market stabilises.

Lad I work with dropped £132k on a Taycan Sport Turismo GTS just before Christmas. Thing is an absolute weapon.

If you are paying with your own money, then don't. They are basically all bought on tax subsidised company schemes. Even at the current second hand prices a lot of people would be better off getting a new tax subsidised one, than buying a second hand one worth your own taxed money. So the forecourts are literally littered with them and nobody buys them. And that's without even mentioning the whole "how much battery is left", etc.
They will have to drop a good deal more to compete with a new tax subsidised one. So they likely will.
It's the same with most EV, not just the Taycan.
Never will be the answer from the majority of people, but they are wrong!

Agree. There has to be an optimal moment.

I think a 2/3 year old Taycan is probably a pretty good buy these days. Extended warranty and you’ve little to worry about.
They have taken such a hammering price wise, but they were too expensive to begin with, so values are just more at their market value now.
I’m interested in a used one next to replace the iX3 at the end of the year, so I’ve been watching prices fairly regularly.
Everyone slates them due to their values dropping so significantly, but anyone I know with one absolutely adores them, they are an absolutely epic EV.

Couldn’t agree more

They are quite low for an old boy to get in and out of, ask me how I know
The Sports Turismo or Cross Turismo are a lot more practical as regards the boot as it’s a hatch. I went ST as I don’t really see any reason to buy the CT as the plastic arches etc don’t really suit the shape to my eyes.
Certainly get a drive in one as the dealers will be more than keen to let you try and I would say you may be very impressed.
