Neither, both are overpriced. Values keep sinking I would personally look to buy this winter. I made the mistake and purchased this summer and am starting to regret the time of the purchase

Agreed. Both appear overpriced.
As a point of reference, a friend recently bought a 2020 Turbo CPO, 6k miles, (MSRP ~180k) for 100k.

Im also in the market as you are and have basically noticed these cars are losing value of around 3-5k monthly. There are several 21 Turbos between 110-120k.

Yeah prices have been dropping like a rock. I "unfortunately" only want Chalk or Neptune Blue exterior, both of which didn't become available until MY21, so there aren't that many to choose from yet.

Both seem overpriced a bit but if you are really going to make a decision #1 is definitely the better choice

Word to the wise, stay away from 2020. First year of build + my experience. Yes, there will be a chorus: "my 2020 Taycan is the best car ever."

You are correct, I never knew it is supposed to be smarter to buy in the winter than Summer. Albeit Southern states don't get the dreadful winters of North or even Midwest. Also, hasn't internet browsing/buying, CarGurus etc. changed the browsing/buying habits?

All the citations are 2015 or older:

"In general, buying a car in the winter will help you secure a better deal. With low foot traffic and a shift toward new inventory, you have plenty of room to negotiate a good price. "

Salient term is 2020. I would be very weary of a 2020. Very.
