Re: Hi Spec Night Blue Macan For Sale

Check my post here. I was in a similar position. It will give you some further thoughts. I tried Matt and he was not buying. I tried wizzle, but the offers were £8k below below my sale price. Auto trader was OK and I did sell through this medium, but I felt I had to make sure I had good photos etc. ...

Re: Is my dealer offering a realistic value?

This is great insight into peoples thoughts. Just to really make heads spin. I chose the spec to suit me and never thought too much about what others may desire. One man's pano roof is another man's air con and so on. I guess proof is in the sale. A lovely guy bought it who didn't want low profile t...

Re: Is my dealer offering a realistic value?

Good on you Steve, You clearly have a better technique than I and are a much nicer person. This is not a dig at Swindon, just stating facts of how my first Porsche experience was. It is strange really, but I recall we went to Swindon on the Friday in 2017 to do the final calculations. Said we would ...

Re: Is my dealer offering a realistic value?

Here is the final conclusion. I was asked about trading in my 'beautiful' Macan today, here was my response: My wife and I decided to buy our first Porsche not just on the basis of the brand, but also we were told by sales that it was the least depreciating car and was likely to have some equity in ...

Re: LED upgrade for the Halogen lights - A guide

I appreciate that older halogens are often not bright enough and I appreciate the safety of better road illumination - but it fails on MoT now. Extract from the manual is: Existing halogen headlamp units should not be converted to be used with high intensity discharge (HID) or light emitting diode (...

Re: Potential New Car - Feedback please?

Yes! I saw the spec. I'm on PASM ordinary and smaller wheels, but otherwise similar. Oh! and of course I don't have a Pano roof. Methinks It seems my wheels and roof are the reason for my remarkably low valuation and would you believe it... its a diesel and the OPC said that nobody wants them anymore!

Re: Potential New Car - Feedback please?

Very interesting. I know OPC retail is expensive, but a 2015 with 48k miles, 2 year warranty and expensive wheels @£31k seems expensive to me too, particularly when you take into account my thread. I hope this helps with your decision making. https://www.macanforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=9633

Re: Is my dealer offering a realistic value?

Thank you for your comments everyone.

I'll give it some serious thought over the next few weeks, but at least I feel a little wiser.

Thanks for the useful comments. Its my first Porsche (and new car!). I will heed wise advice and maybe try my local OPC at Swindon too.
