Gen 2 turbo or GTS

33000 miles is nothing.
Buy and spec and condition, rather than mileage (unless it's stellar) IMO.

Whatever you decide, bet you can't wait

Don't think I'd be worried about the mileage. Remember we've had COVID, plus a lot of people worked more from home, so mileage since 2020 has been affected and in turn reduced annual mileage.

RVO, were you concerned that 33k miles was maybe too high or too little? I read your post to say that you thought it might be high? I’d be surprised if you are concerned that 33k miles is too low...?!

I was worried it was too high, as the others I’ve been looking as had around 20,000.

I guess it’s because I’m coming out of a macan that’s a year old, with 6,000 miles on the clock, that’s it’s made me think, the turbo is nearly 4 years old, and has a lot more miles on it, but it is also a lot more car!

Ahhh OK, I read your comment as concern for mileage being lower than it should be (@ 10k p.a.).

Yeah, sorry, I’ve not been overly clear so far!

The turbo I’m looking at will be due the 4 year service in November, any ideas how much that’ll be, I know dependant on each dealer, I’m on the south coast, so my bet is it won’t be cheap! Especially as I believe it includes the PDK oil change.

2 year is minor.
4 year assume is major.

Is PDK and spark plugs not at 40000 miles, but depends on what mileage you do so maybe due in Nov along with the major.

I don't know costs, but not going to be cheap.

Is car in OPC network.
Make it part of deal....ask for service to be done prior purchase.

Plus brake fluid change. Not to be missed.

They will want to charge you for Air Con service and drain tube cleaning....unless you say no.

I suggest you get quotes from 2 or 3 OPCs and then challenge the one you want to use to match the lowest price. As you're on the south coast get a quote from Porsche, Bournemouth (based in Ferndown) as they are usually very competitive.

Thank you Steve, that’s really helpful, good to know that Bournemouth are competitive as they are my local OPC.

I tried that, but I’d already managed to get a bit of a deal so they weren’t entertaining anything further.

At 33k the brakes will be due very soon if they haven’t been changed already. That’s a large bill as they discs tend to wear as much as the pads, and all will need changing. I’m guessing £1200?

They’ve said the tyres are nearly new and the brakes have plenty of life left.

It’s got the surface coated brakes so I bet they won’t be cheap, do they last longer than normal brakes or is it just the lack of dust which is the main feature?
