Botis, you pest. That was literally the car I was ready to buy.

In all seriousness, well done. It looked absolutely perfect, and in great condition. It's the car that made me serious about moving from a 911 to a Macan.

Likewise, I have seen the highly spec'd macan at Reading, and pulled away given the light coloured interior. My Macan would be a daily, and I'd using it for mountain biking etc. I need black leather.

You made an interesting point re "something off". What can someone expect off an OPC macan? I doubt 55 becomes 50. But does it become 53?

Sorry. I'd been beaten to the post on two previous occasions so didn't want to miss out a third time.

I'm sure there are others out there, just a case of when they come to market. I'll keep an eye out and let you know if I see something that meets your requirements.

As for discounts off OPC used prices I agree, 10% off would be a bit of a stretch but expect 5% should be achievable on a good day. All depends on how much interest they've had and how long its been in stock. Timing (end of month, quarter etc) can also help you get a better deal.

I was being offered around £27k (lowest £25k!) from OPC's for my Macan Diesel. Looking around they were advertising the same for £37k. Appreciate they have overheads, wheel refurbs, servicing, warranty etc. but that is still a decent margin for profit/discount

I eventually sold mine to a private trader for £30k. He saw the value in the spec as it had £17k worth of options and had a buyer within 24 hours for it.

Many thanks! I'm pleased that car went to someone that was looking for that specific spec :)

Agreed regarding pricing. To be honest, I'm happy to pay for the right car; but the OPC pricing seems to vary wildly from showroom to showroom, for near identical cars.

When they won't reduce the price further, worth haggling for other extras like a reduction on the next service (i.e. free) or free vehicle tracker services.

I’m looking for something pretty similar to this - but ideally in Sapphire Blue - any chance pointing me in the same direction?

Google Prestige Performance Yorkshire for my old car. Sept 2016, great spec, only 10000 miles and as immaculate as any brand new showroom car. PM me if you want any more details.

Sadly missing roof rails otherwise pretty close to spec I’m looking for ☹️

We use a roof box for longer driving trips and I’ve never been too keen on not using factory supplied attachments.

Thanks for the link however!

This would have been perfect for me. Just not my perfect interior. What a car this is. Also not on Autotrader!
