*Note on mileage: my understanding is that miles can be purchased from PFS, OR you can simply do a pull-ahead into a new car earlier, and as long as you’re under mileage you are covered. If you need another 10K miles and you do not pull ahead or buy out the lease, that $3K is still much less than drive-offs would be on a new lease with similar rate/terms.
Photo from purchase here, will add more if there is serious interest in the car.
Happy to arrange in-person viewing for SF area folks.
At risk of negotiating against myself: if anyone is interested in this car but has concerns around miles or money, get in touch with me. I am open to pitching in from my end to move things along.
This is potentially the worst deal I’ve ever seen on here.
Not here to bash. But I can’t imagine anyone interested in this without an insanely huge incentive.
Like a 10k incentive.
At asking - someone will have to pay $30K’ish to drive it for 19 months and 6.4K miles - sorry to say that I don’t think any one (here) is signing up for almost $5 per mile gross to drive a well equipped MY24 T CT4S.
That’s mid 300 miles per month. My guidance is to stick with it and pay the PFS penalty box you have found yourself in. At least that way you have use it for the next year and half+ - albeit sparingly.
Thanks guys for the love! Really appreciate the deep narcissism that leads to posting negative things into someone else’s post, with no benefit to anyone other than your own pick-me ego. The family dinner table with you all must be fantastic, lol.
Putting aside random deals that disappear in a day like the $717 car, this deal would be one of the least expensive ways to get into a $150K+ taycan for a sub-24 month lease, even if you need to buy more miles. If you watch the broker listings on demos, you will see worse deals than this, that get snatched up, regularly…they’re just disguised under a $5K drive-off pillow on a 12-month term.
I think you underestimate how big the world is outside of your little corner, and how many people put eyes on these listings without literally living on these forums.
We’re just telling you how it is. The deal is relatively bad for this site (though much better than the Macan which I was trying to point out). You recognize this yourself or else you wouldn’t have posted above about negotiating against yourself. You’ve also been a user long enough to know this.
Sorry if your feelings got hurt but you never know, someone may bite here but you may have better luck in the outside world.
Just because you got a crap deal and paying for it, doesn’t mean the next person on here wants this car especially on this site. You can get relatively same car for far less monthly. You would need to throw solid 15-20K to move this on this website. Put it on swapalease as there non LH buyers on there might be willing to pay it
I just think the mileage you’re offering is too low. For a normal Porsche customer, this is a spectacular deal, and CT’s are hard to get a deal on anyway.
Maybe put some current (decent) photos in the ad as well? You have a single old photo that is distorted and are asking for someone to assume your $30k+/- IOU. Just my worthless two cents.
It’s just this forum. It’s awful for transfers. It doesn’t even matter if its better or worse than brokers, this forum loves to beat up on Private transfer lowball deals
Wouldn’t call it beating up, just getting the person to realize how far off the mark they are. If it was such a hot deal someone would scoop it up but IMO it’s going to require many thousand of incentives( likely at least 5k) to do that.
It certainly doesn’t have to be a unicorn but no I have seen numerous Taycan deals significantly better than this one which was not a great deal when OP signed it
