As Porsche\u2019s bold foray into the EV world, the Taycan is a well-built high-performance sedan that just happens to be electric. In fact, the Taycan is unabashed in its electric status\u2014so much so that the highest-end models feature the ‘Turbo’ moniker inscribed across the rear trunk. Its driving experience, build quality, and range (we\u2019ll get to that later) are top-notch, but there\u2019s an issue: new, it costs a small ransom when new.<\/p>\n
But there\u2019s a strategy to get around that $91,000 entry-level price, and that\u2019s buying one used. Assuming the perspective of a prospective used car buyer, Porsche Taycans have become bargains, relatively speaking. While new Taycan buyers might go overboard in the buffet of options, these additional features don\u2019t necessarily translate to proportionately higher used prices.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For instance, a 2020 Porsche Taycan Turbo with 18,100 miles sold on Cars And Bids<\/em> last month. Despite having an original MSRP of $191,900, the next owner picked it up for $100,000\u201447.8% depreciation in just over three years of ownership.<\/p>\n A different 2020 Taycan Turbo on the site with 22,800 miles had a similar significant price reduction. With an original MSRP of $175,250, the used example only retained $89,000 of its original value\u2014a 49.2% reduction in value.<\/p>\n Your choices get even better on Cars.com. Here’s one with just 20,747 miles for $66,500\u00a0or a 4S with under 30,000 miles for $68,995. Not bad, all things considered.\u00a0<\/p>\n While higher-trim level cars typically lose more money than lower-trim ones, there are still deals to be had with entry-level Taycans. The rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive 4S Taycans are now available from the upper-$60,000 price range.<\/p>\n While they’re still expensive, they are vastly cheaper than when they were new.\u00a0But should you venture out and buy one of these?\u00a0<\/p>\n
