Who's brave enough to take on the 156,000 mile Taycan?
Discussion
Just popped up on Autotrader, as I've been keeping half an eye on the bottom end of the Taycan market for a while...

Undercuts the next cheapest car (with 47,000 miles) by exactly £10,000. Doesn't seem that bad a risk given a full battery replacement couldn't be much more than that. What are they like on suspension & other components?
EDIT - for future readers if the link expires, the car is up at £25,989.

It’s on air suspension, which works brilliantly, but I suppose potentially expensive. The RWD Taycan comes on your more conventional coil springs.
I have heard of Tesla’s doing 400K miles, so interesting to know that there is a Taycan example up to this level.
Why don’t you request a battery health check? As someone said, they are on an auction site now and they do drop away from the chassis with the car on a lift.

I wonder what the battery performance is like on that mega miles car
I'd wager that it would be pretty good. The battery tech has come a long way since the first EV's we're hitting the roads. The biggest thing will be if this has seen loads of fast charging, fast charging is like running an engine at 8k prm, fine every now and again but if you're doing it for 30 mins every day its not great! If it has just been charged on a home 7kw charger and seen lots of motorway miles then battery life could be 95% or better. Still strong money for a car that can have lots of other expensive problems thoughCrudeoink said:

I might know the car or a car with the same miles , he got £19k from his OPC for it, I guess it went to auction.Johnson897210 said:

According to the EV forums after that amount of mileage/time there is absolutely no degradation at all, apparently the battery will still recharge at 99.99999%.
