The new V6 engines for the facelift (certainly on the S) are actually new Audi units, not the Porsche designed ones from the outgoing car, that’s already been documented! And 70% isn’t wishful thinking, it’s what the trade valuation guides state as bottom book trade value after 3 years... and if an OPC won’t give you it, another dealer certainly will (I have always got at least trade book value on my trade in cars) The way you WILL lose is by heavily optioning your Porsche because you’ll get pretty much nothing back on most options!! Main dealers are selling heavily optioned two year old Macans (any engine) for at least new list price!!steve w wrote: ↑Tue Nov 20, 2018 5:01 pm Personally I’d wait until you can order a 3L S or better still the GTS Macan,I’m not a lover of the 2L models and they’re possibly the least desirable variant,imo it’ll take a bigger hit come PX time,the engine is a VW sourced motor which Porsche have done some modifications on,the 3L motors are a Porsche design,as for Macans realising 70/75% value after 3 years is wishful thinking,now that they’ve been for sale over 4 years come PX time the OPC won’t offer anything like that especially on a 2L,one of the forum members lost around 6k after owning a 2L for a month ,I’ve had SD and a GTS both lost more money than I expected and that was putting the speck of them to several OPCs,now I’m running a 911,it was 18 months old when I purchased it with 6k on the clock,this is a 120k 911 when delivered new including the 5k full PPF the first owner had put on so he took around a 30k hit after 18 months
One interesting point, when I sold my Cayman as a trade in on a BMW the main dealer (also an OPC) said he got the best price on my Cayman from an independent dealer, apparently because Porsche do so much prep on them to get them up to scratch (even re spraying the whole front end just because of stone chipping) they offer far less than other dealers!
