I do think that the biggest worries about diesels are on forums like this. Most people aren’t too bothered about it as far as I can tell

OPC Reading have just rung to say that the SD that i enquired about has now sold. But that they do have other SDs available for sale.

so it would seem to be false news.....Porsche tell OPC they cannot sell Diesels.....when they can. ;)

Whilst shopping around for my SD I visited 3 Porsche centres and all of them stated they are struggling to keep up with demand for used SD’s since new diesels went off the configurator. They were all actively looking to buy up low mileage, one owner cars to sell on.

Similar to SAC1 above, two cars I was interested in were sold before I had a chance to view them, so it does seem to conflict with the stories going around.

It doesn't really make sense with a recent Forum Member Rob 65 having taken delivery of his SD. viewtopic.php?f=23&t=7581

Hi, I have posted on here before but forgot login details so set up new account.

I tried to trade my wifes macan in at weekend with Audi and was informed Porsche aren't buying in any used diesel motors. Whats strange though is I had an offer from Porsche to buy back our macan last week.

Hopefully things will get sorted in the next month or so but for the manufacture to refuse to buy back an 18month old car with only 10,000 miles would mean I would never buy another porsche. but then again porsche probably aint bothered.

^ Perhaps the Audi salesman was wrong. Did you go back to the Porsche OPC to check?

Put it on Autotrader. You will get a better price. Private buyers don't care - lots of new diesels around.
