2017 Turbo - Buying Advice

[JerseyMacan]

Hi folks,

As the title suggests, i'm after a bit of advice regarding a Turbo i am going to view later this week.

The dealer (OPC) has sent me a spec and a video.
Apart from the car being dirty is there anything that you folks can pick up from the video that perhaps an untrained eye such as mine won't have noticed?

How can i tell if it has PASM and Air Suspension?

Looks like a good spec (I think PASM was standard on the ‘17 Turbo?)
Air suspension will have extra buttons on the consol and inside the boot.

3rd button down shows if it has PASM, 4th indicates air suspension:

Thanks for the quick responses.

Looks like only 3 button to the left of the gear selector, so no Sports Plus or Air Suspension by the look of it.

I've just noticed it has the Sport Design Pack, which means it doesn't have the unique Turbo front bumper.
What are the advantages of the Sport Design Pack? To me it seems a negative to remove that unique front bumper which sets it apart from other Macans, or am i missing something?

Agree no Air Sus, on the video, I could not see the presence of the air suspension button in the boot

As already spotted it doesn’t have air but PASM is standard, also agree no sports chrono

Sports Design is a way of charging more for nothing extra! Some suggest 21 inch wheels need air suspension otherwise the ride is too firm. Personal preference but suggest a good long drive in the car

That's daft, from what i can tell, you lose the turbo bumper but gain colour coding in some other places, does that sound about right?

Not sure tbh. My GTS has Sports Design mirrors. An extra £315, not that I could have brought myself to pay out for that.

A point to note. The car is carrying a Jersey plate. It's likely therefore that it will have spent a lot of its time on an island with a 40mile/h speed limit. The engine will have mainly operated at low revs which is not that good for the turbocharger.
