Macan Petrol S vs Macan GTS

Today is my lockdown day and I didn't try to change my model choice or the spec. So I will take delivery of an S in around 6 weeks. I agree with those who've said that the GTS "free" options don't necessarily match the options you want. I like the sports exhaust but I don't want it. I've been on the confuserator a good few times and the GTS is 5k more expensive for the same (v nearly) spec.

And having just done my PEC day, which was fantastic, I'm more sure than ever that the S is more than enough for my and Noblewoman's needs. I'm not concerned about GTS vs S depreciation; I keep my cars for 4 + years and longer in this case, I hope. By that point, I'd be surprised if the market value difference justifies the higher purchase price of the GTS based on my spec.

Kylie will do me nicely btw.

Being one of the oldies what's a "Jukebox" I had this record player fitted from the options list

Don't joke! I had a 7" 45rpm record player in an early Mini.

I had a valve radio in my first car........ I got to work before it warmed up enough to operate.

Congrats on your lockdown but I suggest you get back to your OPC.

Lockdown has been six weeks prior to build

Build takes 2-3 days depending upon the tome of day it commences.

From the time the vehicle enters the compound until it gets to the OPC is a variable with the shortest being 7 days to a longest of 60 days (excluding WingCo's Panny that got lost in transit). An average delivery has been three weeks.

Hence expecting it after six weeks from lockdown is not the norm.

Janis Joplin, surely?

I chose the S as I wanted to choose the options I wanted, particularly wheels and leather interior and did not want to be restrained by GTS choices. The S is much rarer than the GTS and I suspect it will hold its value as well if not better, especially with all the diesel stuff going on now. If I upgraded it would be to a Turbo and not a GTS as the power upgrade for the GTS is probably unnoticeable in everyday use.
