I’ve no idea if it is national OPC policy but Tewkesbury are/were asking a nominal £1K deposit* to be on the waiting list albeit is now nearer the time it may be the more normal £3K. The order would have to firmed up but being on the list is obviously beneficial.
* this also gets you a PEC session regardless!

So true! I added every whizz-bang on to my GTS spec and will never see the money back. Do I care? Hell no! NOT FOR SALE!
I got mine from Bolton and found them very good to deal with. You are right when you say the trade in value is the the part to focus on when getting a good deal. Get some evidence of a trade in price or a price from we buy any car, and they will try to beat it, regardless of the fact that wbac will knock you down on the price they indicate on line. I’m happy with the price they gave me for my Cayman trade in.
These Macans are not cheap, but I think they are excellent value when you take into account the performance and handling versus any other SUV in the price range, plus the level of engineering which goes into them. I collected mine from the factory and saw them being put together, then thrashed one of their Macan S’s round their race track which had only got 23km on the clock, followed by the off road course and the car could cope with it with no elevated temperatures or any signs of stress. Most people think they need running in, Porsche don’t, they know they’ve built them well enough to cope with hard driving straight out of the factory.
Later on I went to the driver experience track at Silverstone and thrashed one round there for many laps, interspersed with several launch control starts and several goes on the skid pan and ice hill. That Macan had done 15k miles, from memory, all at that track. Your average “value” SUV is unlikely to be able to cope with that without major problems.
Ask the SE at Bolton OPC about the Cayenne launch when they went to Silverstone and compared it with the likes of F Pace, LR Velar, XC90 etc. All of the competition wilted, but the Cayenne’s kept going without problems.
