If you like hard suspension like a Beamer with M setup and run flats then that is what a Macan with 21” wheels and no PASM is like.
Personally I would never buy a Macan without PASM, it is the single most essential extra to include.
Avoid any Macan with halogen headlights.
High mileage means high bills, it is the same with all cars, just make sure you get as long a warranty as youncan and a fully up to date service book with at least 1 year before any service is due. Tyres are also expensive and have to be Porsche approved N rated to ensure warranty compliance.
Make sure that the brake discs are new and the discs are in good order or you could face a £2k bill.
My SD only achieved 33 mpg, the mpg in the MFD is usually showing about 10% higher than actual.
Also make sure there is no clicks or crunches on full lock at parking speed.
Looking for advice about buying used Macan
Thank you very much for valuable advices, especially SAC1 which already shifted my theoretically ideal Macan for now. I usually do up to 10k miles a year and mostly urban, so will look more into petrol models and thank you for pointing into break parts and disks and other valuable information. All advises help me to make check list of questions for dealer and I can see that I am not fixed any more into particular specs: suspension, sound system, headlights etc, that makes my dream car more possible, thank you team. I noticed closest to me Porsche centres Leeds, Sheffield with not much to snooze in my price range but still available some cars now. So time to arrange some tests from theory to practice lol.

Welcome, Serghei!
Some great advice from forum members above.
So potentially looks like a petrol Macan S for you, although this will be a rarer model than the S Diesel.
My personal checklist would include Bi-Xenon lights, PASM and ideally 20" wheels or 21", but wheel size is very much down to personal opinion and has been the subject of much debate on here in the past!
Personally I would not be bothered about seeking out a car with Bose.
Good luck with your search and test drives. It will be interesting to see how many petrol Macan S models that you can find in your desired price range.
Cheers,
Simon
P.S. Maybe also do some research online to check out what you're likely to pay for insurance, as the cost may be higher than for your Sciricco.

I have had two Diesel Macans (2014 and 2015) with 20” Spyders and the ride was perfectly fine without PASM . I collected my third Macan diesel last weekend with 21” Classic alloys ( and no PASM) and the ride is actually softer than my previous cars which I suspect is due to the suspension modifications ( ie removal of the additional bar in the engine bay). My daily ride includes a stretch of cobbled street and the ride is more than fine. Do remember however that a 2015 car will have the extra bar in the engine bay and therefore 20” might be the biggest wheel you want to go for without PASM unless you try it out first as I can only speak from my experience with the 20” wheel on pre 2017/ 2018 Macans.Col Lamb wrote: ↑Fri Mar 16, 2018 11:14 pm If you like hard suspension like a Beamer with M setup and run flats then that is what a Macan with 21” wheels and no PASM is like.

Thank you very much for you opinion Wing Commander and mark yorkshire, I did notice markedly less cars on offer petrol Macan S then diesel, but will be looking. I did not ask dealer yet but if anybody came across do they deliver Macan for example from Edinburgh Porsche Center to Sheffield Center or it is the case to travel

Serghei, it should be possible to arrange transport between Porsche Centres. Easier if they happen to be in the same group, but no harm in asking...
Or you could travel. Or arrange for the car to be delivered to you, but obviously best to test drive before buying.

No wrong or right answer here. You'll generally pay more at a Porsche Centre than an independent, but not always. You should get a 2 year official warranty from a Porsche Centre and the car will have passed their 111 point check.
