Hi all,

I am in the process of buying a Carmine Macan base from Porsche Tonbridge, wondering if anyone here knows anything about the car..

I have cancelled by Macan Base order as this essentially saves Mrs Gibberish £22k over buying new, it's a pretty simple spec but it's not going to be doing any massive roadtrips, just the usual commuting and airport run.
For a smidge over £37k for a Gen2 , 25k miles with 2 years 8 months warranty I thought it was a pretty good deal especially considering it's used approved.

Of course this also means my GTS will be sold and money will be in the bank ready for the Spyder 😎

I was offered a new set of 21" Spyders for £2800 with the car, but to be honest it's best if she sticks with the 18" wheels for now as tyres are considerably cheaper and she won't be asking me "can you have a look at the wheels? I may have hit something" 😂

Those Turbo wheels would be a bugger to clean. I always avoid the multi spoke wheels for that reason - but my wife reckons I am “ on the spectrum” !

Ok save yourself the money on the wheels and buy some yellow wellies and yellow hat then you can make siren noises …

I had a set of these for a year on my Panamera 4. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy they actually were to clean. :) 💦
