I'd personally actually be happy to pay a larger deposit/interim payment as I could put it on a credit card and get airmiles, whereas my final payment has to be bank transfer and my OPC dont seem to be budging on this. (I assume they would also accept a big suitcase full of money but havent checked)
Only v minimal amount of cash allowed
Money laundering regs
Pay on a debit card or BT
2022 Macan Build Dates
Barclays Premier have a reasonable Avios rewards scheme at the moment. Especially if you are a new customer.BanZ wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 7:31 amI get it from their perspective, I’m just trying to make up for 2 years of not flying for work to refill my Avios balanceOmniCognateSnr wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 7:29 amYep, Credit Cards not allowed.

Just the initial deposit of £3,000/£5,000 and then the final payment on collection.
I put £3k down for the macan GTS gen 3
Also just put £5k down yesterday for a 992 targa 4s
Nice! Congrats! Spec?

But I’ll likely change it several times between now and when it locks.
I don’t even have an allocation and I’m told it could be 18 months!!
So I’ve put the deposit down but I might actually cancel if I buy something else sooner. Thought I’d just get my place in the queue anyway.
Have my eye on a 1 year old AMG GT C as an alternative

Congrats! They are definitely starting to come through at a decent rate now. Please do keep us informed on the insurance as that’s an issue we’re all facing.tonyp wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 9:03 am My SE has just said that my Gen 3 Macan S "is due to go into production this week" and "we should see the car here at the centre in approximately 3 weeks" The original build date was 22/10/21

Nice spec, BTW, I think Black and Pebble EL is my favourite interior ( which is a bit annoying as its not what I ordered)
Which OPC?
