You poor suckers are getting hosed on sales tax. $10,000 are you kidding me? Our tax is capped at $500 in South Carolina. 😀

This is not offensive at all. Take away the add ons and it sounds like a good deal. If the xpel is brand new, $500 is dirt cheap lol what’s the coverage on that? What’s starguard? If that’s ceramic (real) then $1500 is ballpark for that too.

You poor "suckers" can pay up to 6.5% state income tax, we pay zero. Be carefull when you cherry pick this stuff.

Jokes you you. We pay 8.625% sales tax, 6+% state, income tax, and if you're a sucker living in NYC, 4% city income tax.

Good grief, that is just awfull and my understanding is that CA is worse. Kinda like working for the government and taking home a few scraps. No wonder so many people and business enterprises are moving to TX and FL.

We not only have no sales tax or state income tax but they pay us to live here far from the maddening crowds. The problem with TX or FL is you have to live there...(no offense meant)

Well in TX we can drive our Porsches and motorcycles (if you have one) year round. We do have 2 to 3 months of unbearable summer but there are plenty of peeps I've met from the north, who live here now, that want nothing to do with the long cold winters that they came from.

This is absolutely laughable coming from someone who lives in Alaska. WTF.

Exactly WHY we live in AK and yes some drive their Porsche year round.

Not sure where to put your "WTF"

True, but they get us on property tax every year…. The $500 cap definitely helps with the trade vs private sale math.

Yeah but you have to drive 4 hours to the 1 Porsche dealer in the state for any warranty work. I'm in the middle of 4 (****ty) dealers. 6 counting NYC although 3 are the same owner. Pros and cons to everything.

How's SC property taxes? Mine is in the low 20s right now. I know people paying way higher.

I do all my own work (Macan and 992) as the only dealer is....not only 370 miles away.

When my warranty is up I'll move off the brand.

Great way to lose my business indefinitely. Bay Area dealer.

Bay Area dealers are an absolute joke. Not to mention that sales tax. FFS...

The headline price is not a good deal for a 16k mileage 2020 base with a 120k MSRP
