Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

HI I was wondering if some regular new Porsche buyers can clear something up for me. I have a Cayman GT4 on order and after agreeing my final spec I noticed on the order form an additional 1960gbp for OTR costs. I have purchased new BMW's, Audis and VW's in the past and these OTR costs ( first year tax and reg etc.) were always included in the advertised price and car configurator price. Is it normal for Porsche to add these costs on top of the configurator list price? It means the true cost of a Cayman GT4 is 79k before any extras. any confirmation or advice would be great.

POST 2Original post

I ordered a Macan and found the same. It probably helps the residuals look better!

POST 3Original post

I had the same surprise recently. I'm pretty sure OTR costs were previously included on the configurator but they're not now.

POST 4Original post

It’s been like this for a while i’m afraid...

POST 5Original post

This has been the case on my last two new Porsche's (2019 & 2020)

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

ok thank you for the clarification, it was just unexpected so i wanted to be certain it was the normal process. Thanks all for the help.

Hello I got caught out on this as well when specking a 718 GTS. It is quite a hard extra £2k to swallow. I soon got over it, but still yet to order. Managed to get 1% off so not all bad.

POST 8Original post

Yes they're very sneaky and their configurator doesn't include the OTR costs...... ridiculous really!

Not sure what the current offers are but certainly when I bought mine it was a £1k off the car + £1k discount if you took finance, which was about 2.5% based on my spec. Their offers are on the website somewhere but very very well hidden.

I would love to get a £2k discount circular 2.5%. Perhaps I am not trying hard enough!
