I just traded in my 2023 Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo to Langley Porsche last month for $96,000. Cross Turismo's generally seem to be valued about $5,000 more than the Taycan sedan.
My Taycan had 21,000 km and about $30,000 in options and CPO warranty until June 2029. Porsche Langley listed it for $110,000 and it sold within 2 weeks.
I loved the mamba green colour, acceleration, and the smooth ride of the Taycan but there is the problem of the many recalls, reliability concerns, and to me it was just a little too long and wide to comfortably drive and park. I also wanted to go on some more local summer road trips without worrying about charging. | Thanks, and I love the Taycan Turismo. A guy a few houses down from me owns one. It's black and looks amazing. He also has a Panamera Turismo that he uses for road trips.
Personally, I've been reluctant to buy an EV, but after driving a Lucid for a few days in SF last summer I was sold. The other reason is the insane deals on some of these EVs. Add in the extended warranty and insane gas prices, and it made sense to buy now, especially for the amount of driving my wife does.

I am curious if the Taycan was a precursor or requirement before allowing you to even buy a 911. (No judgement here.)

I asked to buy some parts today and they told me to buy a Taycan first. 
They are definitely playing these games. Don't believe your sources.

Badhobz is right, they’re not playing games anymore. Almost every dealer will sell you whatever expect for the ultra limited cars of course.
And speaking of Porsche, the GM from Lamborghini Vancouver left and is now the new car manager at Porsche Langley, so if any of you are looking to buy a Porsche from Langley let me know. He’s a great guy.

i mean considering the price of a turbo S is well over 420k canadian (thats more expensive than true italian exotics) you gotta really be out of your fucking mind to buy a beetle that looks like every other beetle and sounds worse than a dyson.
you guys remember the days when a 996 was 10-15k? or a 997 for around 20-30k? there's no amount of bullshit propaganda you can say that would equate a lame ass beetle to a proper italian exotic.

ha!!! not on your life.
The taycan and associated porsche EV's were one of the main reasons why my buddy left porsche after only 9 months of working there. hes had so many issues with the cars bricking and parts on backorder for 6+ months, all the while people are still paying their 3k a month leases and driving a rental macan or worse yet, a rental toyota.
You get why these customers are fed up.
