Ahh lovely! @FirsSeaLord

Haha yeh they sometimes talk about the pan roof and resale, although my SE didn't have an concerns not speccing it. Never seen a Macan be advertised 'cheaper' because it hasn't got a pan roof or other options. Infact I have seen poverty spec ones just the same price as those better optioned cars. So imo that's a non issue.

Do you have any pics or a link to a post where you have pics of your car? Be interested to see yours in the flesh!

The spec drives desirability, and that in turn drives price. There are plenty of examples on the Porsche website of same car, similar mileage but different specs where the higher spec is driving a higher price - they also sell them quicker.
Quite a few on here who have been looking for a used version but have very specific options that are must haves…
Not saying it will make a huge difference but there WILL be a difference.

Fair enough. Be keeping this for a while so won't be worrying too much about it.

You are right not to worry about it all - if the car is worth a few hundred less (maybe) because no roof, you didn’t spend £1.2k in the first place to put it there! 😂
Good spec will drive used price up, but drive depreciation up too - I always think set your budget and get exactly what you want for you 👍

Here's a few rubbish ones I took the other day. No interior pics I'm afraid.

Also, another pic on here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=11734&p=231685#p231685

It depends on the individuals selling preference i suppose. Sell privately or to a specialist then options will make a difference. Problem is the webuyanycars type sites offer the strongest money at the moment and they don’t take options into account. So a car with £0 options and a car with 20k of options gets the same price.
