Sold my Macan back to OPC

[smithy37]

Well, this all happened quickly. I have a Cayenne on order with a scheduled May delivery. I was planning to sell my Macan Turbo privately but got a decent offer from my OPC. Insurance due for renewal, 1st MOT and road tax all due next month so it made sense to get rid this month. I now have just bought a Q7 for the wife and I will run around in her Lexus until May.

Roll on May.

Wow! That's quite a spec on your £121k Cayenne Turbo!

Impressed that they can build that spec in just 3 months

Looks really good. Quite like the black/red interior. Just out of curiosity, what does the sports design package add? Turbo already has the more square bumper as standard I believe?

Wow! That looks amazing, I'm not to keen on the new taillight strip but when it's tinted I really like it, hope it's like that in reality.

I always liked the rear of the outgoing Cayenne where the exhausts protruded our of the diffuser. That was lost on the new version but it looked good with the stainless steel under body panels. However I hated the stainless panel at the front. The sports design adds some subtle touches to the rear & also adds side skirts. There isn’t a massive difference to the front, although if you play around on the confusicator and have a white car you can see the front end changes better.
I’d regret not speccing this & as I tend to keep my cars for 3 years, thought it was something worth adding.

Macan was first Porsche & I have been well impressed with car & especially the brand.

My Cayenne won’t be my last Porsche purchase & once the kids are old enough I will be in a 911 or Mission E.

Car now on OPC forecourt with a £9k mark up. Wow.

They might strike lucky. But more likely they're trying their luck, and if they get little interest, they'll drop the asking price by £2k to £3k.

That sounds more like it. Interesting nonetheless.

Rule of thumb seems to be around £7K.

Problem OPC's will have shortly is no new cars for two months (?) so most are trying to get their approved stock levels up to get continued income. My OPC currently have twenty 911's which is more than usual.
