Porsche is offering up to a $22,500 discount off the MSRP on leases, but before you get too excited, let’s check the fine print. EVs built overseas, such as the , don’t qualify for the Inflation Reduction Act’s $7,500 tax credit when they’re purchased, but they do qualify for it if they’re leased. CarsDirect reports that the fine print on Porsche’s website says the advertised lease includes a $15,000 “non-cash credit for eligible customers.
” Porsche also says that the $15,000 credit “also requires additional dealer contribution, which could affect price.” What’s that mean? It’s the Taycan Lease Match Program, according to a Porsche spokesman that spoke to CarsDirect. A bulletin sent to dealers says they can be reimbursed up to $7,500 if they match the same amount on a lease.
That means dealers have to agree to participate. Earlier this year, the Lease Match Program was only worth $5,000 based on a $2,500 contribution and a $2,500 match, so the upgraded Lease Match Program is $10,000 more than the old amount. That means Taycan lessees could now benefit from an up to $22,500 discount.
(The 2025 Taycan is excluded.) Even with the huge discount, it’s still not cheap. Porsche is advertising the lease price as $949 for 39 months, with $9,829 due at signing.
That’s based on an MSRP of $105,250, including destination, and 10,000 miles a year. The effective cost of this lease comes out to $1,201 a month before taxes and fees. If you have your heart set on a Taycan, this is the deal for you.
