Hi there,
Am in the process of buying a family car (wife to drive mainly) as I commute on a BMW s1000rr sports bike every day.
We (I) am looking for a used car, ideally, 2019 onwards as I like the rear lightbar going all the way across. However, the pitfall is what I am looking to spend...£40k tops... seeing if this figure can go up... I am also hopeful that when the new registrations come out, there may be deals to be had
Not really sure of spec, as there are so many variants. I like the 2.9litre, with heated seats/steering wheel and upgraded sound system. ideally with front/rear parking camera (for her)
I am aware that it may be along wait, however, any pointers would be appreciated.
Saying that, my wife has been having a look at specs and say this... https://bit.ly/37cuWE1
I know its not what I want, but I guess i "should" listen to her sometimes
Thanks,
Amit
Saying hello
Welcome!
As above, a phase 2 Turbo / GTS (light bar and 2.9 litre) is going to set you back significantly more than £40K.
The 2.0 your wife has found is maybe a bit too far the other way
Good luck!

Hello Amit and welcome to the forum!
I would look at the previous version Macan S or GTS or Turbo. They don't have that extended light bar (which you only see if you're driving behind yourself anyway, haha!), but they are still very nice cars indeed, and minus the petrol particulate filter. If cared for these cars will be in excellent condition and you wil get much more for your money.
Good luck in your search!

Welcome to the forum. When I saw your tag, I expected you to say you rode an Indian rather than a BMW .IMORTAL_Indian wrote: ↑Fri Feb 07, 2020 1:51 pm Hi there,

I don't know if you're aware but the 2.9litre engine is only used in the Turbo. The Macan S has a 3litre, though not the same one as in pre-facelift cars. The chances of you picking up a 2019 Turbo for £40k are somewhere between zero and non-existant.
