After grounding my RS E-tron GT, I began a serious hunt for a Porsche Taycan lease in late June. I contacted numerous dealers across California, the best one-pay deal (on demos with similar options) I could find locally being around $14.5k (12m/15k) or $26k (24m/7.5k)
I then broadened my search to out-of-state dealers. While a couple were willing to negotiate, one particular dealer stood out. They had advertised a 19% discount on website, and when I presented my target offer, they accepted it without hesitation.
Here are the lease specifics:
This is a Demo with about 700 miles on odo.
- MSRP: $127k
- Dealer Discount: ~23%
- Rebate: $7.5k
- Money Factor: 0.0027
- Term: 24 months / 7,500 miles
- One-Pay: $20k including shipping
- Effective Monthly: $833.33
While 12-month/15,000-mile leases often offer the best value on these vehicles, the inclusion of shipping costs made the 24-month/7,500-mile term comparable in effective monthly cost. Plus, I was looking for a longer ownership period for the Taycan.
Update: Deal is officially closed. It took some back and forth since PFS initially declined funding (lease numbers weren’t aligning). Registering the new car lease in California was a bit of a hassle, but surprisingly, the DMV employee was very helpful — not something you see every day. Unfortunately, enclosed shipping ended up hurting the deal — turned what could’ve been great into just good.
Overall, I still saved around $5K compared to California prices.
